Low Pressure Propane Regulators: Preset-First Stage-Second Stage-Twin Stage
Gas grills up to about 50,000 btu/hr most often use low pressure propane which requires a low pressure propane regulator. Low pressure gas can be natural gas (normally does not require further pressure regulation past the meter), or propane piped into a trailer home or RV, or a conventional home in which the gas has already been adjusted to a 6 ounces (10.5 WC inches) low pressure at the propane source. Preset low pressure propane regulators and Twin Stage Low Pressure Regulators are set at 6 ounces. We ship everywhere in the world...and the shipping is free to the 48 contiguous US states.
How are the Tejas Smokers® low pressure gas regulators any different than what is customarily sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, or from those included as original equipment with most gas grills? TejasSmokers® sells Low Pressure Regulators designed with 3/8" ID gas outlets and 3/8" ID grey, M.B. Sturgis AGA-approved gas hoses rather than the customary regulators with 1/4" ID gas outlets and supplied with 1/4" ID black hoses. The 1/4" ID type are also usually found on most backyard gas grills or offered for sale at the Depots as replacement equipment. A larger ID of 3/8", going all the way from the regulator housing to the appliance permits an amazing increase in delivery of 2.25 times the VOLUME of gas to your appliance! These are preset regulators so all you can't change the pressure, but you can change the volume of gas available to your appliance if it needs it. If you think your low pressure gas appliance is just not getting enough gas, the problem could be the internal diameter size of the gas regulator output and of the hose. A regulator with a 3/8" ID diameter gas outlet and a 3/8" ID grey hose is going to make a lot more gas available to the appliance. You still control the amount of gas used the same way, i.e., with the gas control knob on your appliance. Upgrade. Don't starve your grill of fuel.
