Butane Jumbo Low Pressure Regulator

This is the standard regulator for Flogas Butane cylinders and Ergas Jumbo Butane cylinders (i.e. designed to fit Jumbo Butane valves), and regulates the pressure to the standard 28 mbar, which is the pressure required by most appliances designed to run on Butane.

Do I need a different regulator for propane and Butane?

Please note that Propane gas cylinders contain considerably greater pressure than Butane cylinders and as a result, regulators are designed for use with either Propane or Butane and are not interchangeable because of their different design pressures and the different connections on the cylinder itself.

Are All Gas Grill Regulators the Same? Every propane gas grill uses an LP regulator, but not all regulators are created equal. Though the purpose is the same, different types of setups require different types of regulators. The type of regulator a grill needs is based on the specific propane application requirements.

Is butane and Calor Gas the same?

How do they compare? The key difference between propane and butane is their boiling point. Propane can handle much lower temperatures, which is why it's used in homes with outdoor storage. Butane, on the other hand, is better stored indoors as it doesn't function as effectively in colder climates.

Are all gas regulators the same size?

When you think about the gas appliance or heater you have, each item will be a different size, have a different application and a different required gas pressure. The purpose is still the same: to provide fuel for the particular device. Different types of gas setups will need different types of regulators.

Depending on the gas bottle you use, different regulators are required: If you use patio gas, you will need the Calor Patio Gas 27mm Low-Pressure Propane Clip-On Gas Regulator. The regulator for Campingaz cylinders is the Campingaz 29 mbar Low-Pressure Butane Gas Regulator.

What is the pressure in a butane cylinder?

In the case of Butane, the standard supply pressure is 28 mbar (11" water gauge) and for Propane it is 37 mbar (14" water gauge) - regulators that supply either of these pressures are called "low pressure regulators".

Which regulator is used in domestic gas cylinder?

An LPG gas regulator works to make an automatic gas regulator adjustment, reducing high pressure gas to the required 2.75 kPa gas regulator gas pressure for LPG appliances or equipment.

Is there a difference between a natural gas regulator and a propane regulator?

Propane regulators and natural gas regulators are not interchangeable, though they both operate in the same fashion. A natural gas regulator is comprised of five components: set screw, spring, rod, diaphragm and valve.

Can a propane regulator be too big?

If the gas regulator is too large, too much gas will flow into the appliance and may cause an explosion. If the gas regulator is too small, the appliance will operate inefficiently or not at all. There are two basic types of gas regulators, one used for natural gas and the other for propane.

Which metal gas regulator is best?

Chrome-Plated Brass is usually chosen because of its lower cost, and stainless steel because of its resistance to corrosive gases.

Do gas regulators need to be vented?

Pressure regulators that require a vent shall be vented directly to the outdoors. The vent terminal shall be a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) above grade, not under an opening to the building or overhang, and shall be installed so as to prevent the entrance of water and insects.

Can a gas regulator increase pressure?

Pull off the regulator cap. There is a spring and an adjusting screw underneath. Usually turning the screw clockwise increases outlet pressure but the direction of adjustment is marked on the regulator. Turn the screw a little to make a small pressure increase adjustment as seen on the pressure gauge.
