    Hello ladies and gents,
    I recently got a spare 220 Coleman fount and do not have anything to attach to it to make it a working lamp, any suggestions?

    It does not have to be 220 parts, just anything that fits the threads and would work.

    I was thinking of trying to put a 200a upper assembly on it.

    Might need to make the hole smaller for it if so. Still undecided.

    A spare tank is useful to have as you may find a 220 which has a defective tank.

    Hang on to it. You'll run across a 220 or 228 with a leaky fount soon enough. Valves on a 200a are 1/8 NPT the 220 is 1/2 27 a proprietary Coleman setup. The usual way to make the conversion is to install a 220 valve, cut it off flush with the top of the fount then tap the hole for the 200a valve.

    As said above you'll find a 220 or 228 with a bad fount soon enough. If you were close enough I'd give you one but shipping will be more than you will likely find one local for.
