Gas Regulators - what are they and how do they work?

 What is a gas regulator?

A gas regulator, also known as a gas pressure regulator, is a mechanical device used with a gas cylinder. It’s designed to slow down the compressed gas rushing out of a cylinder and release it in a controlled and steady stream to the appliance it’s connected to.


Which one is right for you?

There are all kinds of gas regulators available. Choosing the correct one for your installation or appliance is extremely important. First we have to understand why we need one and if it should be used indoors or outdoors.

This is your common low pressure regulator with a gauge. This is used on cooking appliances and heating appliances. This is attached to a 9 Kg bottle and will be connected to the appliance.  

This is a low pressure bullnose regulator. This one is ideal for outdoors installations and should be mounted against a wall. This regulator is for bigger sized cylinders like the 19 Kg or 48 Kg.
