Pressure Release Valves
The pressure relief valve is one of the most important and vital safety devices on any LP Gas container. All propane tanks and cylinders are required by federal law to be fitted with pressure relief safety devices designed to relieve excess pressure. The function of a safety relief device is to keep a propane tank from rupturing in the unlikely event of excessive pressure buildup. Propane tank relief valves are also known as pop off valves, pressure venting valves, safety valves, and relief valves. How A Propane Relief Valve Works Safety relief valves are held in the closed position by the force of powerful springs. As long ...
Propane Pressure Regulator
Propane pressure regulators are one of the most important parts of a propane gas system. The purpose of the regulator valve is to control the flow of gas and to lower the pressure from the tank to the appliance(s) in the gas system. The regulator not only acts as a control regarding the flow and distribution of propane but also as a safety barrier between the high pressure of the tank and the end use appliance(s). Some may argue that the LP Gas regulator is the heart of any propane gas system. Making sure the regulator is properly installed and regularly maintained is of ...

Heated Cylinder Wraps
In addition to installing pressure regulators - we highly recommend using a heated cylinder wrap or Powerblanket gas cylinder warmer to avoid propane "Freeze-Out" conditions often occurring in cold weather climates. While using a pressure regulator or adding additives to your propane mix may be helpful - nothing has been found to be more effective at eliminating costly refills and unnecessary frozen tanks, than the Powerblanket. Powerblanket insulated electric wraps are heated using a patented 120V (240V optional) heat spreading technology called GreenHeat. Engineered for use at high elevations (Rocky Mountains) - the team at Powerblanket manufacture a complete line of heated cylinder wraps for ...
