Gas Regulator and it’s importance.
“Quick Coupling system” is a unique two-step safety system. For conventional regulator, you use the same switch to engage the regulator onto the valve, as well as to turn on/off the gas. Our safety gas regulator has an interlocked feature – by pressing down the regulator’s lever onto the valve before turning on the switch, This safety system ensure that you can only turn on the gas when the regulator is fully engaged onto the valve (reference our features description).
Although LPG cylinder is subject to rigorous quality control measures during the manufacturing process and is inherently safe, it is important to consider the flow of gas from the cylinder’s valve through the regulator and hose to the stove. During this process, the gas may escape due to various factors, namely loose connections, ruptured hoses, and leaking stoves, among others. To mitigate these risks, our regulator is equipped with an “excess flow valve,” which serves as a safety feature that can promptly shut off the excessive gas supply in the event of a leak. For more information, please refer to the features description provided with our product.
The regulator can also be used as a leak protection device. This additional feature “Inlet safety valve” stops the flow of gas from the regulator to the gas appliance in the event of a faulty cylinder valve. The shut-off valve seals the leak from the valve outlet when the safety regulator is properly engaged onto the cylinder valve (in off position).
There is a common misconception that gas cylinders are inherently dangerous, but this is not entirely true. The likelihood of an explosion is actually quite low. This is because there are strict standards and measures in place for their design, manufacturing, and quality control. There’s also a safety relief valve feature that serves as extra protection. If the pressure inside the cylinder increases too much, the valve will release the gas, reducing pressure and minimizing the risk of an explosion.
Most gas cylinder accidents occurred when there’s a gas leak and the gas builds up in a confined area, where an external spark can ignite it. It’s important to note that these incidents occur outside of the cylinder itself and not because of an explosion of the cylinder.
It is imperative to note that gas regulators require proper installation and safety checks performed by professionals. Incorrect installation can result in safety risks and decreased efficiency. If you’re unsure about your gas regulator’s installation or performance, always seek assistance from our qualified professional.
In conclusion, having a safety gas regulator at home is essential for safety, efficiency, and cost savings. Gas regulators regulate gas pressure to ensure safe and efficient usage of appliances, saving you money in the long run. If you currently looking to replace your gas regulator at home, it’s highly recommended to have one installed by our certified professional https://srgregulator.my/
