A friend has one similar to this has had it 6 years and uses it.
Now it come swith instructions on how to coinnect it up, but don;t
have to be registared or even compentent to connect it up.

The fittings are designed to be easy to use and make a reliable cone
joint metal to metal seal. However it only takes scratch on a mating
surface, or damage to a hose to end up with a leak. So it still pays to
test the connections with a leak detection spray. Its also the users
responsibility to inspect hoses etc and make sure they are in a sound
condition.


Leak detection spray? Weak washing up liquid and a toothbrush is far
cheaper.

Indeed - and I have seen "old school" professionals use a bit of fairy
in a bottle with water for the purpose. Unlike the proper liquids
however, its not certified corrosion safe on all materials. A small tin
of the proper stuff can be had for a couple of quid anyway:

and tends to be easier to keep and use than soapy water.

(quite handy to have a can handy when making up hoses for compressors as
well as for lpg connections etc IME)
