UROPA -22 20mm High Pressure LPG Regulator for Commercial Kitchens

The UROPA-22 High Pressure LPG Regulator is a precision-engineered gas control component designed specifically for commercial and industrial applications. In environments like professional kitchens and large-scale food service establishments, managing gas flow effectively is critical for the efficient operation of high-heat cooking equipment. This regulator serves as the essential link between your LPG cylinder and your burner, ensuring a consistent and safe supply of gas at the required pressure levels.

Using a standard residential regulator for high-demand commercial burners often results in performance drops or equipment failure. The UROPA-22 addresses this specific need by providing the necessary throughput capacity required for heavy-duty stoves and grills. By maintaining an inlet pressure between 0.5 and 10 bar, it ensures that your appliances receive a stable fuel source, which is vital for consistent heat output and overall operational safety.

Key Features and Specifications

This regulator is constructed with a focus on durability and performance consistency. Below are the technical specifications that define the UROPA-22:

• Model: UROPA-22
• Connection Size: 20mm
• Inlet Pressure Range: 0.5 to 10 bar
• Gas Capacity: 0-6 kg/hr
• Construction: Virgin materials for body and accessories
• Control Mechanism: Solid brass lever
• Weight: 310 grams
• Country of Origin: Malaysia

Durability and Build Quality

The UROPA-22 is manufactured using high-quality virgin materials. Unlike products made from recycled or lower-grade plastics and metals, the use of virgin materials in the body and internal components ensures a longer service life and better resistance to the wear and tear commonly found in busy kitchen environments. The inclusion of a brass lever provides a tactile, reliable method for opening and closing the gas flow, offering a degree of mechanical strength that is superior to standard plastic alternatives.

Compatibility and Suitability

The UROPA-22 is optimized for professional settings. It is ideally suited for restaurants, catering businesses, and commercial food preparation areas that utilize high-pressure LPG burners. Its 20mm inlet is compatible with standard commercial gas cylinder valves, though users should always verify their specific cylinder type before installation. Given its capacity of 0-6kg/hr, it is intended for use with equipment that demands significant gas volume to maintain temperature.

Safety and Installation Guidelines

Safety is the primary concern when working with high-pressure gas. Proper installation is mandatory to ensure a leak-free operation. We recommend the following practices:

• Always inspect the regulator and hose for signs of wear, cracking, or damage before use.
• Ensure the 20mm connection is securely tightened but avoid overtightening which can damage the threading or seals.
• Perform a leak test using a soapy water solution around all connection points whenever the regulator is reinstalled or the cylinder is changed.
• Keep the regulator and gas cylinders away from direct heat sources or open flames.
• If you notice the smell of gas or erratic burner performance, shut off the gas supply immediately and inspect the entire system.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use this regulator for a home stove?

No. This is a high-pressure regulator intended specifically for commercial burners. Using it on standard residential low-pressure appliances can cause dangerous flare-ups and damage the equipment.

2. What is the benefit of the brass lever?

The brass lever is chosen for its structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, providing a reliable on/off mechanism that withstands frequent use in commercial environments.

3. Is this regulator suitable for outdoor catering?

Yes, the UROPA-22 is well-suited for high-pressure outdoor cooking setups such as large wok burners or industrial boiling rings, provided they are designed for high-pressure LPG input.

4. How do I know if this fits my cylinder?

This unit features a standard 20mm connection. Please check the valve size of your current commercial LPG cylinder to ensure it matches this specification before purchase.

5. Does this product come with a hose?

This product listing is for the UROPA-22 regulator unit only. It does not include a gas hose or additional mounting accessories.
