Could you please advise me, where I could find local service or parts (I need short tube connecting a pilot and main valve) for the heater device?
It's manufactured by Robinson Willey [RW] in Liverpool.

Suggest trying Thermodynamics at top of Polis Road in Mesogi. If they can't help, they probably know somebody who can!

I'll try, but I've been there a few times, seen what they sell and no, there is no gas heaters.

My thought find a service or a store where specifically gas heating devices selling / installing.

OK. You could also try AA Homeflame further down the Polis Road!

I see 2 options, bend a suitable piece of pipe and put the compression fittings either end, I suspect you cant do this, then go online and order from Robinson willey. unless a shop stocks and sells these items then it is unlikely they will have parts.

Robinson Willey have a pretty good website. This is a link to their Parts page: http://www.robinsonwilley.co.uk/pages/help-centre/spares.htm

If nothing else, they might be able to give you the number of a local agent. Or with a credit card, maybe they can supply you from the UK?

If it will be the kind, I would do it by myself; but it's very particular thin pipe with special orifice and a nut tightening a small tip with quartz tube and micro channels in it for creating small gas flow to make a pilot flame.

After a couple useless visits to stores around Paphos (what is puzzled me - I'm providing to store sellers full info about mfg, model, part, just showing it and asking to help, perhaps they could order it from the mfg - and getting blank stare - looks like they don't interesting to make new customer happy ) and writing request via Internet site of the mfg without an answer, like I sent nothing), I decide to get into research of a root case.
So, after soaking in WD40, it allow me to disengage a nut from top fitting (on a picture fitting2.jpg); I did inspect the fitting with magnified glass and found strange circular "ridge" on conical part. It developed after many releases/tightening the tube's nut during maintenance (usually it's yearly routine). So, the nut's pressure does not clamp end fitting to the pipe's end, eg a force passed only forward. The force on normal condition does divide between axial part and radial part which is making tight compression between the tube and the fitting.
After finding the reason, a fix was easy - restored conical surface by diamond filler.
I did install it back, tested with a soapy water and run just the pilot for a half hour - no bubbles, no smell. Working fine now.
