Product Description
The Weber Gas Regulator & Hose 3/8" SAE Female Flare 1200mm - LPG is an essential component for connecting and regulating the gas flow from a LPG gas source (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) to Weber BBQs, grills, or other LPG-powered appliances. This regulator and hose combination is designed to provide safe and efficient gas flow for cooking or heating applications.
Key Features of the Weber Gas Regulator & Hose 3/8" SAE Female Flare 1200mm - LPG:
-
Gas Regulator:
- The gas regulator controls the pressure of the LPG gas as it enters the appliance (e.g., Weber BBQ or gas-powered grill). It ensures a consistent flow of gas and maintains the proper pressure required by the appliance for safe and efficient operation.
- This regulator is typically set to LPG-specific pressure, usually around 2.75 kPa (kilopascal), which is standard for BBQs and other small gas appliances in many countries.
-
Hose:
- The 1200mm hose (or 1.2 meters) provides the necessary length to connect the gas regulator to the LPG gas cylinder.
- The hose is made of durable, weather-resistant materials to withstand outdoor conditions and ensure safety. It’s designed to prevent wear, cracking, and gas leakage during use.
- The hose is designed for LPG use and is suitable for both high-pressure and low-pressure systems.
-
3/8" SAE Female Flare:
- The 3/8" SAE female flare connection on the regulator allows it to connect easily to the gas hose and other compatible fittings with the same flare size.
- SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) flare fittings are commonly used for gas connections due to their tight seal and reliable performance under pressure.
- The female flare fitting on the regulator is designed to be screwed into a corresponding male flare fitting on the appliance or gas cylinder connection.
-
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Compatibility:
- This regulator and hose assembly is specifically designed for use with LPG gas, which is commonly used for BBQs, outdoor cooking, and heating appliances.
- The regulator ensures that the LPG gas is safely regulated and delivered to the appliance at the correct pressure for efficient performance.
-
Durability and Safety:
- The Weber Gas Regulator & Hose is designed to meet safety standards for LPG use, ensuring a secure connection and minimizing the risk of gas leaks.
- The hose is constructed from strong, flexible materials, which are designed to be safe for use in outdoor environments where exposure to weather and UV rays may occur.
-
Easy Installation:
- The regulator and hose are straightforward to install and can be quickly connected between the LPG gas cylinder and your Weber BBQ or other compatible gas appliance.
- Simply screw the female flare fitting of the hose to the gas regulator and connect the other end of the hose to the appliance or gas cylinder.
Applications:
- Weber BBQs and Grills: This regulator and hose assembly is often used with Weber gas BBQs and gas-powered grills, ensuring a steady and safe gas flow for cooking.
- LPG Appliances: Besides Weber grills, the regulator and hose are compatible with a wide range of LPG-powered appliances, such as outdoor heaters, gas stoves, and portable gas ovens.
- Outdoor Cooking: Ideal for outdoor use, the regulator and hose ensure safe and reliable gas connections for grilling, camping, or other recreational activities that require LPG gas.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement:
- Gas Leaks: If you smell gas near the regulator, hose, or appliance, or if you notice any visible cracks, tears, or signs of damage on the hose, it may need to be replaced to prevent leaks.
- Reduced Gas Flow: If the flow of gas to your appliance becomes inconsistent or weak, it could be a sign that the regulator is malfunctioning and should be replaced.
- Damaged Regulator or Hose: If the regulator or hose shows signs of wear, aging, or physical damage, it’s important to replace the component to avoid safety risks.
- Incompatible Pressure: If the gas pressure isn’t consistent with the appliance’s needs, the regulator might be faulty and should be checked and replaced if necessary.
