A gas regulator decreases the gas's pressure when it exits the cylinder. It can be clip on or screw-on and is dependent on the cylinder size and type.

Propane

Propane is a highly efficient alternative fuel that has an uncluttered burn it can be used for everything from gas fireplaces to home standby generators. It offers numerous environmental advantages, such as reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases. It is safe, non-toxic and reliable for outdoor and indoor use.

Propane is also a cost-effective option for heating homes, particularly in areas in which natural gas isn't an option. A propane tank is delivered to your home and is connected to a variety of appliances. This is a less expensive option than installing a new natural-gas heater for outdoor patio line. It can also result in lower energy bills.

The process for buying propane is based on the size of the tank. It will usually involve an initial purchase followed by a subsequent exchange and refill.

They are readily available from a range of retailers, including convenience stores and hardware shops as well as the majority of gas stations. You can also purchase propane tanks that are already filled at some home centers for one-stop shopping.

These larger propane cylinders are suitable for home heating, water heaters, and backup generators.

Butane

When buying propane for your patio, you'll need to determine if you'd prefer propane or butane. Both are safe and clean energy sources for outdoor appliances, such as patio heaters and BBQs. Propane, which is typically sold in cylinders of 5 kg, is the preferred choice for patio heaters because of its lower boiling point. Propane-powered heaters can be used at temperatures that are as low as -4degC. Butane, on the other hand is unable to vaporize in such conditions.

Butane is usually found in 15 kg cylinders. It is a stronger alternative that is commonly utilized in caravanning, camping and home appliances such as gas patio heater outdoor cookers.

Gas Bottles

When choosing the size of your patio gas there are a few things to think about. First of all ask yourself, what are you using your gas for? It is essential to understand that propane and butane both have various uses. Propane is the best choice for BBQs and garden equipment because of its low boiling point of just -42degC while butane is more suitable for indoor portable heaters, as well as single-burner cooking appliances.

If you are planning to power an RV or motorhome it is also necessary to choose the right bottle size. Larger appliances require more energy. Flogas provides both green Patio gas cylinders as well as butane Campingaz cylinders to power these types of applications.

You should also consider the location you intend to keep your gas bottles. We recommend keeping your gas bottle in a protected area to reduce the risk of leaks and give you assurance that your appliance is safe to use. This is particularly important as the propane or butane bottles will contain gas that is highly pressurized. It must be stored in an area that isn't likely to leak, break or be damaged.

All of our gas bottles come with a regulator, which serves an essential safety function to reduce the pressure at which your barbecue or patio heater receives its gas. The type of regulator you need will depend on the gas you are using and size of the cylinder. Green patio bottles work with the 27mm clip-on regulator while butane Campingaz comes with a screw-in regulator.

Gas bottles are subjected to high pressures, which is why specific safety regulations are in place which include the chaining of the bottles to prevent them from falling. There are also rules in place regarding how to store them, as well as signs to warn people of the dangers and safety precautions. For these reasons, it is generally not advisable to buy your own bottled gas. Instead it is recommended to lease them from a Gas Supply Company for use with a particular gas appliance.

Regulators

Gas regulators are required for connecting the gas bottle to propane patio heaters or BBQ, or any other propane-powered gas appliance. They reduce the high-pressure gas supply from a gas cylinder into an even and consistent propane pressure as required by your appliance. There are many different types of regulators, each with their own pressure settings and connections.

Liquefied petroleum gas is usually bottled in either Butane or Propane, with Butane bottles typically being blue, and Propane being red. Propane bottles have a screw-on regulator, and requires a spanner for tightening. Butane bottles use a clip-on with a standard valve size of 21mm. It is possible to connect Butane appliances to a Propane cylinder but not vice versa, as the gas isn't compatible.

Three main components work to regulate the gas pressure. A loading mechanism determines the delivery pressure and a sensing element (usually diaphragm) senses the force of the spring against it, and an element for control is responsible for the reduction of the pressure at the inlet to the downstream pressure. Atmospheric pressure, based on the elevation above sea level that your building is located is also a factor in the gas's pressure as it moves through the regulator. It is essential to choose the appropriate regulator for your particular application. This will stop your propane barbecue from running out of gas patio heater amazon or experiencing unstable performance.
