Propane Regulators
Propane reacts to temperature changes. When the temperature drops, the pressure in the container drops. When the temperature increases, the pressure increases. A regulator assembly must be provided to maintain a constant delivery pressure to your appliance at all times. Remember the pressure between the tank and the regulator assembly is tank pressure, this is the reason for requiring a high pressure connector.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR A REGULATOR - CALL SKELGAS IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED.
Propane regulators must be protected and installed to prevent the vent from clogging due to rain, snow, sleet, ice, condensation or road spray. To prevent the regulator from being exposed to these conditions, special shielding protection must be provided. A blocked regulator vent could result in excessive gas pressure to appliances, or regulator failure, which could result in injury or property damage.
