Gas Governor / Regulator (Natural Gas & LPG) | Adjustable 10 or 75 mbar Outlet

Ensure precise and safe gas flow to your commercial appliances with our Gas Governor / Regulator. Designed for both Natural Gas and LPG lines, this essential safety device actively manages your gas supply pressure, guaranteeing a consistent and predefined flow rate to your equipment. Whether your incoming gas pressure is too high or too low, this robust regulator maintains it within a set, safe operating band, protecting your appliances and optimising their performance.

This versatile governor allows you to easily set the outlet pressure to either 4 inches Water Column (WC), equivalent to 10 millibar (mbar), or 10 inches WC (75 mbar). Available in common commercial pipe sizes, 1/2" and 3/4", it's the ideal component for ensuring stable and efficient gas delivery to everything from commercial ranges and ovens to fryers and grills.

How Gas Governors / Regulators Work

A gas governor, also known as a gas regulator, is a crucial safety and performance device in any gas supply system. It acts as a gatekeeper for pressure. When gas enters the regulator, a diaphragm and spring mechanism respond to the incoming pressure. If the incoming pressure is outside the desired range (either too high or too low), the regulator automatically adjusts an internal valve to restrict or increase the flow, ensuring that the gas exiting the regulator maintains a constant, set outlet pressure. This consistency is vital for appliances to burn fuel safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the primary function of a gas governor/regulator?

A1: Its primary function is to maintain a constant, predefined outlet gas pressure to your appliances, regardless of fluctuations in the incoming supply pressure. This ensures safe and efficient operation of your gas equipment.

Q2: What is the difference between 4 WC (10 mbar) and 10 WC (75 mbar) settings?

A2: These are different pressure levels. 4 WC (10 mbar) is a common standard for many domestic and lighter commercial natural gas appliances. 10 WC (75 mbar) is a higher pressure often used for LPG installations or specific heavy-duty commercial natural gas appliances. Always check the pressure requirements of your specific appliance.

Q3: Can I install this gas governor myself?

A3: No. Installation, adjustment, or any work on gas appliances and lines MUST only be performed by a fully qualified and registered gas engineer. This is critical for safety and compliance with regulations.

Q4: Is this regulator suitable for both Natural Gas and LPG?

A4: Yes, this model is designed for use with both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), offering versatile applications.

Q5: Why is consistent gas pressure important for appliances?

A5: Consistent gas pressure ensures that appliances burn fuel correctly, leading to optimal efficiency, stable flame quality, and reduced risk of incomplete combustion (which can produce carbon monoxide) or appliance malfunction.
