All propane regulators have the same role for the propane tank that they are installed on. However, there are a range of different regulators depending on what application the propane is being used for.

In general, a propane regulator should be replaced every 15 years. However, some manufacturers recommend a replacement every 25 years.

When purchasing your propane tank, your propane supplier should be able to sit down with you to understand your requirements. They will provide you with a tank regulator that suits your individual needs.

One of the biggest advantages of using propane gas is it’s precise temperature control. This is incredibly useful for homeowners who enjoy cooking, as well as restaurants which rely on instant heat and spot-on temperature controls to accurately cook meals for their customers.

This precise temperature control is assisted by one important aspect of a propane tank - the regulator. So, what is a propane regulator and how does it work? Budget Propane Ontario answers your questions here.

The regulator on your propane tank controls the flow of gas from the propane tank to the appliance that is using the propane.

Propane has a variety of uses, and has become an increasingly popular power source for homes, cottages and businesses over the past 10 years. This is because propane is cost-effective, environmentally friendly and incredibly safe.

Propane regulators are subject to wear and tear, and overtime will become less efficient. To ensure propane tanks are working efficiently, they require regular check ups and maintenance from a registered professional. During this inspection process, your propane supplier will be able to let you know whether your regulator is working or if it will need replacing.

The type of regulator that your propane tank needs will be completely dependent on how you are using the gas. The regulator needs of a restaurant using demanding appliances will be completely different to that of a homeowner using propane to barbecue in the summer.

Since propane becomes a lighter-than-air substance when it is consumed, the regulator on a propane tank regulates the gas as it is being consumed. By bottlenecking the propane down to a safe and usable pressure, a propane regulator helps to ensure that propane consumption is safe.

If your regulator needs replacing or if you believe it may be faulty, it’s incredibly important that you reach out to your propane supplier. Regulators can only be replaced, not repaired. This must be performed by a licensed propane professional.
