... unless you install them correctly. It is not hard if you follow these simple steps, but most installers miss a couple of the simple steps because they don't know them. Not knowing creates problems that you have to come back and fix. WATCH THIS VIDEO and avoid making these mistakes.
Matt from www.stromquist.com ( a master distributor of gas regulators) and controltrends.com walks our viewers through the proper way to pipe a gas pressure regulator. Watch Matt's informative video and save time and money on your gas pressure regulator startup and maintenance.

Would you recommend this type of set up for LPG tanks at a residence as well?

I like the wye strainer idea, but I'm having trouble finding a wye strainer that's rated for 2 psi Natural gas and rated for exterior use. Also very curious about the friction loss and length of pipe equivalents that the strainer creates. Do you have a particular model of wye strainer that you recommend?

Yesterday morning, at around 7 AM, the house was colder than it normally is at that time of day. Checked the furnace, and the pilot was trying to light, and the water heater pilot was also out. It seemed we didn't have any gas flowing into them. We called Metro Utilities District, here in Omaha, to have someone come to the house to look it over. They arrived at 9 AM, and realized that the regulator was kaput. They replaced it, and we had heat again. The failed regulator had allowed the gas pressure to increase way too high, and the pressure shut-off device clamped off the gas. Who knows what might have happened if it had not worked.

Thanks for vids... I'm Asian... This knowledge will help a lot if people here... ;-):-):-D:-D:-D What I install recently not a "drip leg",, just a "bleed off" valve... because we usually use gas tank (12Kgs)... Bleed off valve function is to bleed "other gas" which usually makes kitchen burner difficult to fire up.. This "drip leg" will needs to install when my country is able to distribute gas... (supply gas from city)

is it safe to install Gas Regulator under cooktop and behind electric oven? or gas regulator should install in next cabinet in kitchen?

I'm gald I found this video. my gen set was set up without a drip tube or strainer, and it ran for years, but now is not getting enough gas. I speculate that this is the problem. I have a fisher regulator to step down the pressure before my garrettson regulator and I was wondering if one or both regulators need replaced, or if they can be repaired or cleaned. does anyone know if the first regulator would be the only one compromised? should I start be replacing only the fisher regulator first? I appreciate any advise as to the best way to fix this problem. thanks for the vid.

+rob l Did you fix your problem? I think the best way is set up the drip tube and strainer before regulator, and then you should inspect both of regulator inside, You will find the way of clean or repair the regulator.

I was going to pass this on to our technical staff but decided not to. I wish he would have covered the flow direction requirements for the strainer and regulator and adjustments. The main failure mode for us is the regulator installed backwards by the installer. We sell about 20,000 commercial gas appliances a year and direction, pressure rating, and BTU capacity under sizing are our main issues.

Hi Donald1950 a strainer is basically a filter that keeps dirt and other things from clogging up the gas line or gas pressure regulator. Thanks for checking out our video

it can, depends on the gas pressure regulator, be sure to check your installation instructions before installing

but the gas piping is underground so it comes in from the bottom, not the top... no drip leg needed i guess...

James, great questions, most of which depend on whose gas pressure regulator you are using, typically you wnat 3 to 5 pipe diameterns upstream and aboutt the same downstream, some regulators are less senstive to this, be sure to check your gas rregulator installation sheet.
