Using a Gas Stove on Yom Tov

Question

I have a portable gas stove like those used for camping. On the side, there is a gas canister that connects under pressure. Is it permissible on Yom Tov to connect the gas canister due to the prohibition of building or striking with a hammer? I emphasize that I cannot do this before Yom Tov because when the canister is connected, the gas flows.

Answer

Hello 

If the connection is tightened with force,  it should not be connected on Yom Tov.
