Regulator
The regulator is in integral part of the LP gas system. It is required to reduce the pressure of
the LP gas before it is sent to the system to operate your appliances. It is critical to your
safety that you read, understand and follow all literature supplied with your unit on the
operation and maintenance of the regulator.

WARNING: LP gas regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in a
compartment have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure
that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in
place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas
pressure causing fire, explosion, death or serious injury.
LP GAS CONSUMPTION
Most gas appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hot water, the
water heater consumption is minimal. During freezing weather and high wind conditions,
furnace consumption can be extremely high.
LP gas consumption depends upon the length of time appliances are operated. Each gallon
(3.86 liters) of LP gas produces about 91,500 BTUs (46,514 kilojoules) of heat energy.
Following is a list of typical appliance consumption when turned on fully for one hour of
operation:

system in your particular unit.
LP Gas Detector
All recreation vehicles with an LP gas system require a LP gas leak detection device () for
safety protection. A converter or auxiliary battery is required to supply 12-volt DC energy
to operate the leak detector. Carefully read, understand and follow the information
supplied by the LP detector manufacturer which is supplied with your trailer. Consult with
your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website at
www.safe-t-alert.com
if you have any questions on the operation or maintenance of this
detector.

WARNING: For your safety, make sure that the LP gas detector is
properly maintained and functioning. The detector requires 12-volt DC
