Is it safe to use a gas regulator in a vertical position. Is it a rule that they have to be horizontal or can they be eitherway. Want to fit a gas heater that has a big end to a companion cyliner.
Thanks.

Either way, our caravan had the regulator vertical between the bottles.

Thanks for that. I think we had a caravan with the regulator like that but always thought it was wrong and not safe.

Not sure of the regulations
The LPG bottle regulator on my old caravan is mounted horizontal
The LPG bottle regulator on my old campervan is mounted vertical between the two bottles
Perhaps one of the members with LPG experience can enlighten us all

Apparently it is mounted vertical with the hose pointing down. Link goes to CaravansPlus who have instructions:

Good Luck.
so Gaseous GAS not liquid gas flows out the valve.
That Gas. Being neither solid or liquid.
Will flow any way you like, without blockage.
