Stage 1 Propane Regulator

I use these on the camping size propane tanks for my silversmithing. They last forever. I put in another bench in my studio so I needed another one.Just be sure to turn it all the way on .

This is expensive so I tried to make one with valves and regulators I had or could buy from the local gas shop. Well, I did assemble a series of fittings that worked but never felt safe using them inside the house. This gives me the piece of mind to use and it looks way better than the contraption I made.

Excellent service , product is great.

This regulator works EXCELLENT. I'm using it in my dental office for propane supply for a bunsen burner. The office doesn't have a gas supply but I need the torch for wax work in the operatory. I screwed the regulator onto a Coleman camping propane tank which fit perfectly. For the screw end on the regulator, it's supposed to attach to a hose of some sort, but I needed a barbed fitting to attach the rubber tubing for my bunsen burner. The threaded end is 9/16" x 18 thread/inch, so I bought an adapter from a 9/16" female screw end to a 1/4" male barb end ( Dixon OA61 Oxygen Hose Brass Fitting, Coupler, 9/16"-18 UNF Right Hand Female, 1/4" Hose ID Barbed . What I didn't realize was the threaded end on the regulator is actually a REVERSE THREAD. Apparently this was a standard used on older propane technology. This reverse thread prevented the standard adapter from screwing on (and any other adapter for that matter).So...I bought a 9/16"-18 die from Fastenal and re-threaded the regulator threads (I also bought the matching 9/16" tap to re-tap the holes on the barb adapter just in case, but this wasn't needed in the end since the barb adapter threads were fine). Once I re-threaded the regulator threads, the barb adapter fit on like a glove. A bit of plumbers tape makes the connection leak proof. And it works great!When I use the regulator, I need to turn the valve at least 2 turns before I have any gas flow. I'm not sure if this is some kind of safety feature, but it's not too much of a nuisance. The flow seems constant once set. Works perfectly for my situation.

What can you say about a genuine smith regulator!! solid metal, perfectly anodized, fits perfectly to a smith mini torch. Designed for a life time of work. If you can afford it, always get the real deal. Last unit you will ever need!! I use mine on a small bench for almost daily use on a propane, oxygen micro torch unit. I now can use a small tank instead of the 5 gal ones. I have a small refillable oxygen tank that requires a standard regulator and they compliment each other very well.

I purchased this for use in jewelry soldering. Looks to be well made and will easily attach to my Smith Little Torch. Super Fast shipping being an AmazonPrime Member.

best choice for a lightweight setupi use in a rooftop brazing kit that pares with a small portable aluminum O2 tank i refill to provide me with a complete setup under 5 pounds for those lader jobs and more cargo space

I wanted to regulate a 1# propane cylinder for an "off-label" use and, so, had no use for the "B" style, 9/16", left-hand thread adapter. Fortunately, the adapter easily unscrews from the regulator body exposing a perfectly normal 1/8 FPT port.It ices up pretty quickly, even at the low pressure I was running it at. So I found it hard to dial in a consistent pressure. It required numerous adjustments before settling into a sustainable state. This is likely only a factor if you want to use it in a non-standard way.
