Supplying the proper pressure range to your gas fireplace, grill insert, or fire pit is critical for its safe and efficient operation. If the pressure is too low, the flame may be too small or may not ignite. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high, the flame may be too large and could potentially cause a safety hazard. In addition, high pressure can also cause damage to the internal components of your fire pit.
Its important to use a high-quality adjustable natural gas regulator. A commercial grade regulator will ensure that a consistent pressure is supplied and that the pressure doesn’t vary based on load. It’s also important that the regulator be adjustable. All regulators will vary a bit, but an adjustable regulator will allow you to optimize the gas pressure to your appliance.
Celestial Fire Glass highly recommends that you have a licensed gas installer make your gas connections and install your regulator. Working with gas is dangerous, especially natural gas because it is connected to a limitless supply. Proper installation by a professional will give you peace of mind.
