Having a fake/substandard LPG(Cooking Gas) regulator that can fail during use and put your life and property in danger, is something that can be avoided, if you have access to the right information and act with it.

A low quality gas regulator can disappoint you in a number of unique ways:

a.       It can crack on its body and spill gas vapor, posing a great risk of gas fire.

b.      It can fail to deliver the optimum level of gas required for combustion at the gas burner.

c.       It can fail to deliver gas at all, to the gas burner.

d.      The small pipe on the regulator’s body where the gas hose is attached might break off, and spill a lot of gas into the environment, posing serious gas fire danger.

e.       The gas regulator might not fit properly into the valve of the gas cylinder, causing gas to leak from the space between the regulator and the valve, which presents a real risk of gas fire, if the gas vapor is ignited.

With the afore mentioned problems associated with the use of substandard gas regulators, it is therefore in your best interest to ensure you procure a top quality gas regulator, made by an LPG brand with proven integrity.
