The regulator reduces the pressure of the LP Gas vapor from the pressure in the tank, to the
pressure required for use at the appliances. This reduction in pressure is performed by a
two-stage regulator. Two regulators are used in the same body to reduce the pressure of the
LP Gas in the tank for use by the appliances in the motorhome. The regulator seldom
requires service, but it should always be protected from the elements and extremes of hot
and cold.
The high pressure regulator (first stage) is used to reduce the pressure to approximately 10 to
13 PSI before sending it along to the low pressure regulator (second stage). This second
stage regulator reduces the pressure further to 11 inches water column, or 6.35 ounces per
square inch. The two stages regulator does not have to work as hard since the second stage
receives consistent pressure rather than inlet pressure which varies. The result is an efficient
safer system that helps to eliminate problems such as freeze up and pilot outage.
The regulator has been preset by the manufacturer of the regulator, and adjustment should
not be necessary. If adjustment should be required however, DO NOT attempt to adjust it
yourself. Adjustment must be made with special equipment by a qualified LP Gas service
technician. Have the regulator checked annually, or whenever you suspect a problem. The
correct line pressure should be 6 ¼ oz. or 11 inches of water column.
Because air is required for proper operation of the regulator, it is very important that the
regulator vent is kept clean and free of dirt and debris. This is why it is necessary to keep the
vent facing downward and the regulator covered to protect if from contamination. A toothbrush
can be used to clean the vent if it becomes clogged by foreign matter.
