Which LP regulator?

[daphatgrant]

What LP regulator are you guys using? I'm finishing up my brew stand and need to get a regulator. I'll be running 2 BG14's.

I've looked at this and a few others but wouldn't mind knowing what you guys are using

Thanks

Do you need low pressure or high pressure?

I use a dual stage low pressure regulator:

The BG14's say that they are designed for high pressure. My plan is to run a line from the regulator to black pipe and tee off to needle valves and then to each burner.

BG14's will come with a regulator. I would use that one.....

Both of the ones I bought did not come with regulators, just the burners and orifice.

Wow they've gone up! They were $38 ea when I bought them.

Oh, yep.. I was thinking of the SQ14 fryer burner....

So I had my BG14 orifices machined out for like 0.40 cents so I could run on low pressure. My stand has 3 BG14 burners tied to either a ball valve (for boil) or two standing pilot furnace valves. These tied to black iron pipe, to a flex line, to the regulator, to the tank.

Only one to get for High Pressure

Bayou Classic 5HPR-40 48-Inch LPG Hose, High Pressure Adjustable Regulator

Available several places including amazon.

Does NOT have the safety which means that it can leak and not shut off. The ones with a Safety drove me nuts. Just check your connections!

Phew!

That's the same one that I bought, came in today. I'll give it a test drive tomorrow as I need to see which parts of my stand get hot so I know where I can and can't mount stuff.
