Generally, a single-stage regulator is recommended where inlet pressure does not vary greatly or where periodic readjustment of delivery pressure does not present a problem. A two-stage regulator, however, provides constant delivery pressure with no need for periodic readjustment.
What is the purpose of a dual stage regulator?
Two-stage regulators are designed to lower the high pressure in two stages. They require less readjustment and provide a more constant delivery pressure despite changes in inlet pressure. They are exceptionally well suited for high pressure cylinder applications.
What type of propane regulator do I need?
For your propane tank with fill valve, you most likely need the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator w/ P.O.L - 160,000 Btu/Hr # CAM59333. This will have the 1/4 inch NPt inlet and the 3/8 NPT outlet and will maintain a constant 11 inch water column propane pressure for your vent-less heater.
Does a 100lb propane tank need a regulator?
Recommended Propane Regulator for 100 lb Bottle to Connect Gas Stove The propane regulator I recommend for your 100 lb propane tank is the MB Sturgis Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator part #108220 which will need to be mounted in a vertical position.
Do I need a high or low pressure propane regulator?
This propane tank pressure must be reduced and be regulated for use in a home, motor home, camper, or an outdoor gas appliance. A residential application will require a low pressure regulator which reduces the gas pressure to 6 ounces (10.5 inches water column).
What is the pressure in a 100 lb propane tank?
172 PSIG
How do you hook up a 100 pound propane tank to gas grill?
- Measure the distance from the valve on the top or side of the 100-lb.
- Twist the valve knob on the top of the 100-pound propane tank clockwise to ensure it is closed.
- Attach the regulator to the valve on the top or side of the 100-lb.

Are all propane regulators the same size?
Propane Tank Regulators - Choose Wisely, Size Matters! It does not matter if you have a large propane tank or a small 5 gallon propane cylinder, almost all applications require a pressure regulator. A word of caution - one size does not fit all applications.
How do I know what size regulator I need?
The size of the regulator is printed underneath, in this instance 27mm, which is the diameter of its inlet valve. Always check that you have the correct size for the cylinder before you connect it. Never try and force a regulator onto a cylinder that's a different size. You could damage the valve and cause a gas leak.
How do I choose a propane regulator?
Depending on the number of btu/hr that the gas appliance(s) requires, one chooses the adjustable propane gas regulator which delivers the required number of btu/hr. Choose the propane regulator that is the closest match.
What is the difference between a two stage and single-stage propane regulator?
Single-stage gas pressure regulators reduce cylinder pressure to delivery or outlet pressure in one step. Two-stage gas pressure regulators reduce cylinder pressure in two steps. A two-stage regulator, however, provides constant delivery pressure with no need for periodic readjustment.
Do I need a two stage propane regulator?
If a first stage regulator is used in an LP Gas plumbing system, a second stage regulator must be installed downstream. In other words, a first stage regulator can't be installed independently in an LP Gas system. There must be a second stage regulator installed as well.
What is the purpose of a 2 stage propane regulator?
2-Stage Regulator - Regulates Pressure from propane cylinder to appliance. The Dual-Stage Propane Tank Regulator regulates pressure from propane cylinder to appliance. This quick connection combines a high pressure first-stage regulator and low pressure second stage regulator in 1-unit.
