LP Gas Regulator
The regulator is the heart of the LP gas system. It reduces the tank pressure,
which can vary from 250 psi to 7 psi,Jo a steady 6 ounces (11 inches of water
column) to serve the appliances in the motor home. It does this in two stages
for safety and efficiency.
.
Because the regulator is constantly "breathing", it is equipped with a vent.
It is very important that the vent stays clean and free from obstruction .
. Clogging from corrosion, dirt, insect nests or other debris is the most common
cause of regulator malfunction. Even a small piece of material that finds its
. way into the vent can result in improper pressure in the system and possible
damage to or failure of components. The regulator is mounted sCi that the ~ent
is facing downward and is protected from water and dirt by a water-resistant
cover. Be sure the cover is on at all times. If the vent becomes clogged, it can
be cleaned with a toothbrush. If cOlTosion is evident, contact a qualified LP gas
service technician for a replacement regulator.
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the regulator. It has been.
preset by the regulator manufacturer. If any
adjustment is required, it must be made by a qualified
LP gas service technician using special equipment.
USING LP GAS SYSTEM AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Your LP gas system will function at low temperatures,provided the system
components are kept at a temperature above the vapor point of the LP gas. Ask
your LP gas supplier or your motor home dealer for information on product
blends available in your area and the areas in which you will be traveling.
