If your running your webber on a baynot on the van do you still need the regulator on the webber hose?

same question goes for a protable gas stove

Check to see if you have a regulator between your gas bottles and the gas line. We have, and run the weber without its regulator hose.

no i have a ziggy bbq with a bayonet fitting installed to van and it uses the same regulator fitted to the van,
the portable gas stove may be different pressures so you would need to check that out ,
as i understand it the hose that fitted to my ziggy has a large hole but on some bbqs the hose has a very small hole which is a higher pressure so would need its own regulator,

Hi

The regulator should be on the main gas bottles, no need for another. Just check to make sure.

Safe travels

Most portable gas stoves run on high pressure gas they will not run with a regulator in the line, if it is a high pressure gas stove it needs to be connected directly to the gas bottle.

Ignore the last one, Allany. Another case of people not reading the post correctly. Webers, Ziggies & virtually all gas barbecues are low pressure requiring a regulator in the line. If your unit presently connects to the bottle via a regulator, provided your rig has a regulator between the gas bottle & bayonet fitting, you'll not need a second.

All propane and LP gas applications require the use of a regulator

TAJ are you saying you don't have a regulator on your gas bottles, what is a valve the same thing.

A pressure regulator is a valve that automatically cuts off the flow of a liquid at a certain pressure . they are used to allow high pressure fluids to be reduced to safe usable pressures

ELGAS   QUOTE  

                      a gas line pigtail OR  regulator  screws into the large female  threaded opening

                      on side of the valve   UNQUOTE   so the valve & regulator are a different connection

           edit (This is the post above that is not good. )     our 4.5 & 9 gas bottles on or in the proper  place MH or caravan should have a regulator on it at all time.  it is under pressure.

            you cannot be to careless with gas  or you may not be on this planet for long.

I stand by what I said in my post most portable gas stoves are designed to run on high pressure gas they are not designed to run on low pressure, go and have a look at some portable gas stoves in your camping shop, they are meant to be connected directly to lpg gas bottles, in most cases these are small gas bottles, but they can be run on larger bottles.
Cheers

Suffering hell, guess we'll be seeing the obituary of Roving dutchie sometime in the future. Butane stoves (Coleman, Campmaster, etc) run on their own specific cylinder types. To attempt to run them on Propane (LPG) without a regulator is a shortcut to a box. By the way, LPG stands for low pressure gas.

Damn, and I always thought LPG stood for Liquid Petroleum Gas.

 No worries Darrell. I agree with the rest of your post as well. There should always be a regulator in the line somewhere.

i had a look in snowy's today half the portable stove were high pressure, other half were low pressure the low pressure needs a regulator without it you may blow yourself up.
