We use this quality two-stage regulator on all our installs. Each regulator is calibrated here at our facility before it leaves the building to ensure correct fuel pressure. This extra step guarantees that you'll get stable, reliable operation of your propane appliances.
This is a horizontal-mount regulator: for best results, please do not mount vertically and keep venting hole pointed "down".
The regulator comes adjusted to 11.5 inches of water column which we have found to be the best setting for the Propex Heaters.
The outlet on this regulator is an industry standard 3/8".
Even though these are marketed as 11 water column from the manufacture, with any mass produced piece of equipment there is room for variation, and these are typically set between 10.5-13WC. When we get them, we have our technician re-calibrate every single regulator to 11.5WC using a manometer and burner. We have found that 11.5WC is the sweet spot for the Propex and ensures your heater is running at optimal performance.
