Regulator
Propane regulators must always be installed with the regulator vent facing
downward. Regulators that are not in compartments 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 that could
result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
