Hello Campers,
some years ago I asked for help concerning the connector to my 1964 Rainhill Type 0174 old camping gas stove, which I bought on a trip in GB in 2017. As this issue is still not solved, so I cannot use the stove, and the stove is still stored in the barn, I would like to raise the question again.
A male adapter/connector with a thread about 11mm seems to be needed to get the stove connected to a gas hose.
Can somebody support me with the correct description for the thread and, in best case, a hint where to order such an adaptor or a complete gas hose set which fits for this old stove?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
A Google brings up https://www.stoves.co.uk/en-gb/our-heritage . This mentions their “Rainhill factory” in the timeline. There’s a contact page - worth trying? They seem proud of their history & would surely want to help get a vintage item like yours back working.
I see the stoves are for sale online at £175 to £200. Not cheap!
Both hints did not work out :-(

Given the age and origin of the stove it is highly probable that the gas inlet has BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread. To confirm this, the linked web page explains how BSP threads are measured.
For permanent installation to pipework in a caravan/motorhome you would be looking for an (x) BSP to 8mm (or 6mm) compression fitting.
These fittings are not exclusive to the leisure industry. They are extensively used on compressed air (pneumatic) systems in industrial applications. This considerably increases possible sources of supply. You may find one local to you.
The operating gas pressure of the stove, from your picture, is given in INS.W.G. and converts as follows:
