UROPA-22 LPG Low Pressure Regulator - 22mm

LPG Low Pressure Regulator UROPA-22

The LPG Low Pressure Regulator UROPA-22 is an essential safety component designed for domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) systems. Its primary function is to reduce the high pressure of gas stored in an LPG cylinder to a safe, constant, and manageable low pressure required for household appliances such as gas stoves, ovens, and water heaters.

Using a high-quality regulator is critical for maintaining a steady flow of gas, ensuring that your cooking appliances operate efficiently while preventing the hazards associated with erratic gas pressure. The UROPA-22 is engineered to provide reliable performance in standard residential setups, addressing the common need for a durable, consistent, and safe connection between the gas cylinder and your kitchen appliances.

Key Features

• Reliable Flow Control: Specifically designed to maintain a consistent low-pressure output, ensuring even heat distribution for all your cooking needs.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured using high-quality virgin materials for both the body and accessories, promoting longevity and resistance to wear.
• Precision Design: Features a robust POM lever for smooth operation and control when switching the gas supply on or off.
• Domestic Suitability: Engineered specifically for safe use in home kitchen environments.

Materials and Safety

The UROPA-22 is constructed from virgin materials, ensuring that the internal components and the outer casing maintain structural integrity over time. Using virgin-grade materials helps prevent the degradation often associated with recycled plastics or low-grade alloys in gas equipment, which is vital for maintaining a gas-tight seal and safe operation.

Important Safety Cautions:

• Always ensure the regulator is tightly secured to the cylinder valve before opening.
• Regularly check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution; never use a naked flame to test for leaks.
• If you smell gas, immediately close the cylinder valve, extinguish all naked flames, and ventilate the room by opening windows.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the regulator, as this can compromise its safety mechanisms.
• Replace the regulator if you notice any physical damage or signs of aging.

Compatibility and Installation

The UROPA-22 is compatible with standard LPG cylinders that utilize a 22mm connection. It is intended for domestic applications where a steady low-pressure gas supply is required. Installation should be performed by someone familiar with gas appliance setup. Ensure the cylinder is kept in an upright position and stored in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this regulator suitable for all types of LPG cylinders?

This regulator is designed for standard LPG cylinders with a 22mm connection. Please verify your cylinder valve size before purchase.

2. How often should I replace my gas regulator?

While there is no fixed expiration date, it is recommended to inspect your regulator annually. If the regulator shows signs of damage, stiff operation, or if you suspect a leak, it should be replaced immediately.

3. What does the 2kg/hr capacity mean?

The 2kg/hr rating indicates the flow capacity of the regulator, meaning it can supply up to 2 kilograms of gas per hour, which is sufficient for most standard domestic stove and oven setups.

4. Can I install this regulator myself?

The installation is straightforward for those familiar with gas equipment. However, if you are unsure, it is always recommended to consult a professional technician to ensure a safe, leak-free installation.

5. What is the benefit of the POM lever?

The POM (Polyoxymethylene) lever provides excellent mechanical strength and smooth operation, making it easier and more durable for frequent daily use compared to standard plastic levers.
