[Rhodes22-list] Portable Butane Stove Question

[John Lock]

It is my understanding that both the US DOT and Underwriters  
Laboratory (UL) enforce standards which will ensure that products sold  
in the US use standardized fittings.  Trying to mate up mismatched  
connectors could be potentially disastrous, so everybody agrees to do  
it one way for safety standards and avoid liability claims.

Cheers!
