Regulator
---
The
regulator is the heart
of
the
LP
gas system.
It
reduces the
tank
pressure,
which
can
vary from 250 psi to 7 psi, to a steady 6 ounces (11 inches
of
water
column) to serve the appliances in the
motorhome.
It
does this
in
two stages
for safety and efficiency.
Because
the
regulator is constantly "breathing",
it
is
equipped with a
vento-
It
is very
important
that
-the
vent stays clean and free from obstruction.
Clogging from corrosion,
dirt, insect nests
or
other debris is the most common
cause
of

way into the vent can result
in
improper pressure in the system and possible
damage to
orfailure
of
components.
The
regulator is
mounted
so
that the vent
is facing downward
and
is
protected from water and
dirt
by
a water-resistant
cover.
Be
sure the cover is on,
at
all times.
If
the vent becomes clogged,
it
can
be
cleaned with a toothbrush.
If
corrosion is evident, contact a qualified
LP
gas -
service techllician for a replacement regulator.
