Radiator mantle identification help.

I guess this is one of those things you either know it or you don't.
I don't.

Could it be for a Tilley LPG ??





Next to a Tilley mantle.

 

@Anthony

This is for an Tilley R1 Radiator, now I may be wrong but what you have may also work on the Tilley R55 Radiator.



Cheers,

The Tilley uses a mantle with a through hole. It looks like it’s from a Coleman propane heater maybe.

 

Not Tilley, possibly campinggaz ?

 

I’ve not seen one with a band and two flat lugs (top photo) on a kerosene Tilley.

@Anthony

 

It's not for a Veritas bowl fire either, but it could probably be fettled to fit.

Veritas Bowlfire

 

Will it fit on a Petromax?

 

@phaedrus42 , I assume you mean to go on a Petromax lamp.
I like the idea that it may be used like that but I don't see that it would fit on a Petromax.

I've looked into Coleman and Campingaz but found nothing.

Again, the mystery continues.

 

It may be for an LP gas heater. The hole in the side could be for a piezo ignitor?

 

LPG is the most likely in my opinion @phaedrus42 but it would be nice to be sure.

The holes in the wire mantles I have always figured they were for letting the flame get inside the mantle.
I had a wire one without the hole years ago and I would have to blow on it several times to get it to burn inside.
Funny thing was it work quite well with the flame outside the mantle anyway.

 

No.

 

Could it be this one? Coleman Force 5.

 

Thanks @goldwinger11 , I did see that one and had a look for a catalogue for it but couldn't find one.

I think you would be right but it would be nice to see it in a catalogue too.

 

Looking through my Tilley directory I found this,



which is this.

 

A gassie...

Looks like it Tony.
Has the metal ring and the 2 lugs to hold it in.

Now I want one

 

It always starts with the little things.

Tony

 

Of course you want one!
You have the mantle and need the heater to make the mantle work.
