What is a second stage propane regulator?
Second-Stage regulators are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed regulators designed to reduce the outlet pressure from a First-Stage regulator, usually 10 psig / 0.69 bar to 11 in. w.c. / 27 mbar, in domestic installations.
Are there different types of propane regulators?
Every propane gas grill uses an LP regulator, but not all regulators are created equal. There are many types of gas regulators available including: High-Pressure Regulators, First Stage Regulators, Second Stage Regulators, Integral Twin Stage Regulators and Appliance Regulators.
Are second stage propane regulators adjustable?
Keep in mind that second stage regulators are not designed to work with varying tank pressures. Second stage regulators are only designed to operate in combination with first stage regulators.
What type of propane regulator do I need?
For your propane tank with fill valve, you most likely need the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator w/ P.O.L – 160,000 Btu/Hr # CAM59333. This will have the 1/4 inch NPt inlet and the 3/8 NPT outlet and will maintain a constant 11 inch water column propane pressure for your vent-less heater.
What is the purpose of a propane regulator?
All About Propane Regulators. The propane gas regulator is one of the most crucial parts of a propane gas system. The purpose of the regulator is to control the flow of gas and lower the pressure from the tank to the appliance(s) in the gas system.
What is a second stage regulator?
The regulator second stage is the part of the scuba diving regulator that a diver actually breathes from. The function of the second stage is to reduce intermediate-pressure air traveling through a regulator hose to an ambient pressure (the pressure of the surrounding water) that a diver can breathe safely.
What is stage of the regulator reduces tank pressure?
The Regulator First Stage: The first stage reduces air at tank pressure to intermediate pressure and releases the intermediate pressure air into a hose which feeds into the regulator’s second stage. The way the regulator first stage reduces tank pressure is ingenious. A first stage consists of two air chambers separated by a valve.
What does a propane tank regulator do?
Propane Regulator – The Heart of the LP Gas System. The propane gas regulator is one of the most important parts of a propane gas system. The purpose of the regulator is to control the flow of gas and lower the pressure from the LP Gas tank to the appliance (s) in the gas system. The regulator not only acts as a control regarding the flow and distribution of propane but also as a safety barrier between the high pressure of the tank and the end use appliance (s).
