Pretty Good Video Here are some corrections/additions: 1. Natural gas is methane and not considered a Liquified Petroleum gas. 2. Liquified Petroleum gases are: Propane, Butane, Iso Butane, etc. 3. The access cap for the regulator adjustment is righthand threaded - not left hand as was shown. 4. The gas regulator shown in the video is very basic - like the one on your gas grill. Almost all gas regulators provided by gas utility companies have a threaded vent port, so that the screen can be removed and small diameter pipe and fittings can be used to direct the vented gases outdoors (if the regulator is installed indoors) or if installed outdoors, to direct the opening down so rain does not enter the vent port. That way the regulator can be installed horizontally as well as vertically. 5. Larger gas regulators (like the one's on most homes and businesses installed by the gas utility) have interchangeable gas metering orifices and adjustment springs. Changing the gas orifice size, changes the volume of gas that can flow through the regulator, while changing the spring stiffness, changes the range of outlet pressure adjustment capability.

Dual regulator are also used when a considerable drop in outlet pressure needed for safe operation. Smooth flow is easier to achieve with a second stage of regulation. Sometimes more than one appliance, with different demands connected to the same source will also employ a primary regulator for high demand appliance, than step down again for the low demand unit that requires very steady flow.
@SuperS053 ай бұрын
4:39 dual stage regulators is for safety and control. Typically when there's a very large pressure difference and /or a very wide variability of the inlet pressure. It's one valve body, so it does not help to compensate for distance. Multistage systems are used used when you do need to deal with distance. You have 2 or more physically separated regulators. Propane is typically 2. (no less no more, not including the appliance regulators) NG will be dozens in series at the very least, most controlled by the utility.
@SuperS053 ай бұрын
1:15 not all regulators relieve/vent excess gas. Limited release models, as well as lockup models are readily available for different applications. They are not legal everywhere. The vent is not required to be pointed down, the termination is. Almost all models have threaded vents. The screen comes out and you screw a pipe into it, with the screen at the new termination. This means the whole body does not need to oriented in any specific direction, and can also be inside.
@boby115Ай бұрын
You are correct until we start talking about vent limiters , those need to be mounted horizontally, along with the regulator (using piping to mount the limiter horizontal is prohibited by manufacturers, such as Maxitrol).

@brianb-p65863 ай бұрын
The dual-stage regulator illustration should show the second (low pressure) stage much larger than the first stage, because the lower-pressure gas is less dense so larger passages are required and the lower pressure means that more diaphragm area is required. This size difference is clearly visible in the outer case shape of typical two-stage regulators.

Is it a real person reading the script, or a computer? Both the information and description were pretty good, overall, but I’m sure you meant excess pressure, and not access pressure. I thought I was just hearing things, but it was every time, so I think the script could have done with a little proofreading first. Yes, I’m being pedantic, but getting it correct for your audience would be better. Overall, good presentation. Good graphics, and clear, understandable explanation.

@SuperS053 ай бұрын
Generally, the safety listing is invalidated when the diaphragm portion is disassembled. Not that you'd actually want to, those springs like to fly. On some models there's an additional set between the diaphragm portion and the body for this purpose. Generally, the body is NOT required to be positioned so the vent faces down. Just the termination, the vent threads weren't detailed in this video.

The force caused by the downstream pressure on the diaphragm is what causes the valve to close, stopping flow. This causes the lockup pressure to be higher than the operating pressure.
