Are all gas regulators the same?
Are All Gas Grill Regulators the Same? Every propane gas grill uses an LP regulator, but not all regulators are created equal. There are many types of gas regulators available including: High-Pressure Regulators, First Stage Regulators, Second Stage Regulators, Integral Twin Stage Regulators and Appliance Regulators.
Do all regulators fit all gas bottles?
Both Butane and Propane gas bottles, and different brands (such as Campingaz), all have different fittings for their gas cylinders. You must get the correct fitting. Browse to your chosen gas bottle below to find the right regulator and hose.
Are there different size gas regulators?
There are two different types of regulator commonly used; -The UK Regulator fits a standard UK Calor 15Kg Butane Bottle. -The Irish Regulator fits a Republic of Ireland Calor 15Kg Butane Bottle and can also be used in Northern Ireland.
What size LPG gas regulator do I need?
2.75kPa
The appliance inlet pressure for Australian LPG gas appliances typically requires 2.75kPa gas regulator gas pressure.
How do I choose an LPG 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.
Are all propane gas regulators the same?
Please note that Propane gas cylinders contain considerably greater pressure than Butane cylinders and as a result, regulators are designed for use with either Propane or Butane and are not interchangeable because of their different design pressures and the different connections on the cylinder itself.
How do you size a gas pressure regulator?
1 CF of natural gas = 1000 BTU. 1 CF of LP/propane = 2500 BTU. Minimum Inlet Pressure as measured at the regulator….

Can I use butane instead of propane?
Can I switch from Butane to Propane? Most appliances can be used with either Butane or Propane but the cylinders use different regulators so please check what size is needed first. Propane operates at a higher pressure than Butane so it is not possible to use a butane regulator on a propane cylinder and vice versa.
How do you size a regulator?
To determine the maximum flow through a regulator use either: – the seat orifice area formula, or – the nomograph. As long as there is a choked (critical) flow, (P1 = 2 x P2 at least), the flow which you will find on the nomograph is the maximum flow with the valve wide open.
