High Pressure Regulators

#1 Post by fergmeister » Thu Jul 06, 2006 11:29 am

Hi all,
It's new-find information letting time. I have recently upgraded the Tower of Power. We're now running 2 200,000 BTU propane burners. "That's hot". The find is you can get HP Regulators here in town but not where you'd think. After letting my fingers do the walking and getting turned down in all but one place, I found them. Heatco North of town sells not only propane but parts including custom made HP regulators and hoses. The regulators are what you have seen, but the hoses are heavy duty and detachable unlike the King Kooker type. Since the regulator is what usually goes out in the assembly, thats all you have to replace any more. The length of the hose is also unlimited. Monty at Heatco is the person to contact. He put one together for me in 1/2 hr and it costed $35.00. B&B sells them for about the same price but there is no extra cost for drive time and gas. Better product, component replacement, no drive.

Heetco also helped me out with a hose problem I had. Something had punctured the line, and it was no longer safe to use.

After calling around, Heetco fixed me up with a new hose (longer one at that) for $10 or so.

And very nice people.
