Low Pressure Propane Gas Regulators - Preset, First Stage, Second Stage, and Twin Stage  

Gas grills up to about 50,000 btu/hr most often use low pressure propane which requires a low pressure propane regulator. Low pressure gas can be natural gas (natural gas normally does not require further pressure regulation), or propane piped into a trailer home or RV, or a conventional home in which the gas has already been adjusted to a 6 ounces (10.5 WC inches) low pressure at the propane source.   Preset low pressure propane regulators and compact Twin Stage Regulators  used in RV's and Mobile Homes are set at 6 ounces.  We ship everywhere in the world...and the shipping is free to the 48 contiguous US states.


How are the GasHosesandRegulators.com low pressure propane gas regulators any different than what is customarily sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, or from those included as original equipment with most gas grills?    

GasHosesandRegulators.com  sells the M.B. Sturgis brand of low pressure regulators designed with 3/8" ID gas regulator outlets and 3/8" ID grey, AGA-approved gas hoses rather than the customary regulators with 1/4" ID gas outlets and with 1/4" ID black hoses.  The 1/4" ID type are usually found on most backyard gas grills or are offered for sale at the Depots as replacement equipment. A larger gas regulator outlet ID of 3/8", going all the way from the regulator to the appliance permits an amazing increase in delivery of 2.25 times the VOLUME of gas to your appliance!  

These are preset regulators so you can't change the pressure, but you can change the volume of gas available to your appliance if it needs it.  So, if you think your low pressure gas appliance is just not getting enough gas, the problem could be the diameter size of the regulator output and the hose delivering the gas.  A regulator with a 3/8" ID diameter gas regulator outlet and a 3/8" ID grey hose is going to it make a lot more gas available to the appliance.  Upgrade.  Don't starve your grill of fuel!   You still control the amount of gas used in the same manner, i.e., with the gas control knob on your appliance.

How does an Automatic Changeover Low Pressure Regulator work?

Having an Automatic Changeover Regulator is one of the best solutions to avoid running out of gas. The regulator automatically switches from the empty propane tank to the full reserve tank, ensuring a continuous gas flow. The color of the dial changes from a highly visible green to red signaling that the  first cylinder is exhausted while the valve automatically changes to the remaining full tank. Rotation of the handle to the full cylinder will restore the green color on the indicator.  The built in safety back check permits one to change out the empty tank while the full tank is operational.

Why would someone want the First Stage and Second Stage Regulators pre-mounted and pre-plumbed on a panel?

First Stage and Second Stage Assembly which is already plumbed together may be very useful for situations where you intend to have a portable propane tank close to the house or very near a propane fueled generator. For use with stand-alone, higher Kilowatt emergency generators which rely on larger volumes of propane from portable tanks. Also this Assembly will be for convenient for systems that need a higher pressure Btu's then the common regulators, sense this combination puts out 950,000 Btu/hr.

Why use a First Stage and Second Stage Regulator Separately?

When having a long distance from a large supply tank and the point of use of the gas, installation of the First Stage Regulator (high pressure) separately from the Second Stage (low pressure) Regulator will avoid pressure drops in the gas delivery downstream.
