Yes, our gas safety device is compatible with all domestic cylinders (HP Gas, Bharat Gas, Indane, Super gas, Reliance gas) and more.

Fit the regulator hose to the outlet nozzle and Use water and liquid soap for lubrication of the hose. Insert firmly and clamp it using the hose clamp. Make sure not to change or remove the seal cap from the cylinder valve in the presence of open lights or flames. Press the push button horizontally, mount the regulator on the cylinder and press the regulator firmly down and release. Turn on by turning the level, after ensuring that the regulator is connected firmly on the cylinder. For further best practice read an instruction manual given with the product and or advice to see the video on youtube ” https://youtu.be/h2Yy3YD1jQU”

Cylinder is empty Pressure-less than 0,3 bar Early warning – Plan refill soonest Liquid level estimate 0,2 to 0,8 Kg – 11 to 4-hour use. The pressure between 0,3 and 1,3 bar Sufficient level of gas inside the cylinder Estimated level of gas min.1 Kg – 5 hours of use. The pressure between 1,3 and 7,5 bar WARNING – High temperature or Cylinder overfilled The pressure more than 7,5 bar To disconnect the gas regulator from the cylinder turn OFF the lever dismount by horizontally pressing the push button and pulling off the regulator vertically. Gas regulator (Gas safety device) and hoses should be routinely inspected or tested and replaced in case of faulty or damaged to avoid potential safety hazards when using gas equipment.

The gas appliance should be shut off, once the regulator is connected to it through a gas hose. Make sure the regulator is attached in the correct and switched to the “ON” position on the gas cylinder valve. The dial of the indicator should then go into the green area. The Regulator switch is moved back to the “OFF” position. The dial of the indicator should then remain in the green area and the user should wait for 5 mins If the dial is still in the same green area the installation is safe without leaks but If the dial has moved to yellow or blue color, the installation is not safe and should be checked by leak detection spray. Any leak should be eliminated before the use of the appliance.

Our Gas Safety Regulators provide special safety features to meet certain safety standards. Leak & Level Indicator : Detect any gas leakage before the gas appliance is ignited and indicate your cylinders low gas level Advanced Lock System : Push Lock system leads in better locking with the valve and double locking prevents accidental removal.

Avoid removing the regulators ON position ever. Do not move the cylinder during operation. Do not change LPG cylinders in the presence of open lights or flames. Do not use any tools for installation.

IGT gas regulators have many advantages apart from facilitating safety. It controls the excess flow valve and saves from utilizing excess gas. Its advanced lock system is made up of metal bodies, eventually saving it from getting burnt. It will provide exact gas pressure.

The colors demonstrated at the meter gauge are easy to understand. The IGT safety device provides complete information about the amount of gas present in the cylinder. The design is formulated to diagnose any leakage or damage which may result in a blast. We provide first-hand safety to the customers. After fixing the device turn the knob to the right.

It will guarantee easy gas flow in the pipe. When the pipe is filled with gas it will show the total gas present in it. The needle on the meter gauge will start moving and when the needle stops at the point it will indicate the level of the gas present in it.

IGT offers several low-pressure regulators including Propane regulators, Handwheel Propane regulators, and Camping Gas regulators. We also offer high-pressure regulators for certain appliances that require a larger operating pressure and capacity. The first thing we need to decide is which gas cylinder we will be using. However, we can advise depending on the appliance and set-up and would suggest talking to a gas cylinder supplier or a gas registered engineer first, if you are unsure. If you are purchasing a BBQ Regulator, you can also seek advice from the store. Once you plan to purchase Butane or a Propane regulator, the next step is to decide which regulator to purchase in this range.

Many people have this doubt while choosing the right regulator; here you will get a clear idea about how to select a regulator. For Eg: a brass regulator cannot be used in corrosive gas service The time duration gas used helps to identify if a single-stage or two-stage regulator provides the best service. A single-stage regulator performs well for short duration gas usage. A two-stage gas regulator performs best when attached to the cylinder and adjusted to the desired low pressure, and then remains in service unless the cylinder is ready for replacement.

The propane gas regulator is considered to be one of the most important parts of a propane gas system. L PG (propane) gas regulators control the gas flow and lower the LPG pressure delivered to the gas appliances from the gas bottles. Gas regulators automatically modulate high-pressure gas to a maximum predetermined limit. The pressure inside a gas bottle can be 800-900kPa vs the 2.75kPa which is typically needed The regulator acts as a safety barrier between the high pressure of the tank and the end-use appliance(s). LPG gas regulators are usually factory pre-set to the standard operating pressure for the appliances.

A manometer measures the physical pressure of a medium. For LPG systems, you can only conclude, the contents of the bottle from the gauge display in a single case. You have opened the gas cylinder valve. In any case, the needle of the pressure gauge stops at Blue to be considered a clear sign that the liquefied gas cylinder is empty. Tightness control by methods of pressure gauge T he pressure gauge located on the inlet side of the pressure regulator shows the pressure applied to the inlet of the valve (cylinder pressure). The pressure gauge is used in such systems for easy tightness control. Every time you change the cylinder, you must check the entire LPG system for leaks. Instructions for the leak test can be found in the installation and operating instructions or on the yellow trailer on the pressure regulator.

To check the quantity of gas, fix the IGT gas safety device onto the cylinder, its rubber valve gets tightly attached to the opening and the needle in the gauge starts moving and when the needle stops at the point indicates the level of the gas present in it.

Once the gas regulator is fixed and the needle stands still. Watch it for 5 minutes. If the needle starts moving without getting attached to the stove, it will indicate that there is some leakage in the pipe. Remove the regulator and replace the cylinder to prevent any unforeseen accident Yes, all IGT gas safety products are available with a 5 years warranty period.

During this period, IGT will replace safety devices only in case of manufacturing defects or any Functionality issues. Any sort of physical damage is not covered under warranty. Yes, t he product is insured with 5 Crores insurance thus guaranteeing the authenticity of the safety device.

On the orange hose material of the hose line of IGT is a variety of numbers and letters imprinted, including approval number, year of manufacture, and inner diameter but not the item number. Regardless of whether you screw the appropriate hose line to the gas grill, heater, patio heater, gas stove or camping stove or insert it in the caravan or RV, the imprint is the same. The hose standards ” BS3213,EN1763,ISO3821,DVGW,AGA, CSA,NTC-3561,DVG W,AGA,CSA,NTC-3561

Regulators are used to reducing the pressure of the gas in the cylinder to a lower pressure that is more suitable for the appliance and to keep the pressure fixed (within limits) at that value. IGT Low-pressure regulator used in conjunction with a cylinder valve to reduce cylinder pressure to a 20-50 mbar outlet pressure. IGT safety regulators connected with domestic appliances like stoves, cookers, cabinet heaters, patio heaters, BBQ, etc.

IGT pressure regulators are exposed to enormous loads (high, low, or strongly fluctuating temperatures), intensive continuous use, UV irradiation, aggressive ambient atmosphere, or Residues from the liquefied gas affects the fitting directly or indirectly.

The gas fittings involve all the gas valves, piping, and connectors needed to set up an entire LPG gas system, connecting the gas bottles to the appliances. The transformation valves determine from which gas bottle the gas is being used. Licensed gas fitters are needed for all gas related work, involving regulators and fittings, on homes and businesses.

A gas line is connected from the regulator to your appliances. This gas line is the service piping consisting of copper tubing or flexible composite piping. The service piping needs to be installed correctly and legally, in conjunction with the gas bottles, for the entire installation to be safe and serviceable.

Can LPG leakage cause fire?

➢ LPG forms flammable mixtures with air in concentrations of between approximately 1.8% and 9.5%. It is a fire and explosion hazard if stored or used incorrectly.

Is LPG gas highly flammable?

Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is a highly flammable gas and is dangerous if not used safely. Because it is easily ignited, you need to know how to stay safe when using and storing it.

Does burning LPG produce carbon monoxide?

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Operating Fossil Fuel Engines Inside Buildings (AEN-206) The use of internal combustion engines operating on gasoline, LPG, diesel fuel, or natural gas inside buildings presents a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. During complete combustion, the typical combustion products from engines are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, particulates, water vapor, and numerous other contaminants.

Several of these combustion products are linked to health problems. During incomplete combustion, carbon monoxide, a deadly toxin, is produced. Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating. The effects of carbon monoxide at low concentrations mimic common influenza and often are not recognized.

High concentrations of CO interfere with thought processes complicating the diagnosis. Carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison which can rise to harmful levels in the body in minutes. Does the concentration of carbon monoxide produced by engines vary? Yes, CO emitted from the tailpipe of engines burning gasoline, diesel, or LPG (propane) varies from over 100,000 parts per million (ppm) to less than 15 ppm.

In 1968 the EPA regulated CO emissions from on-road motor vehicles. Engines used indoors were not originally regulated. Recent regulations affect small engines such as those used on lawn mowers, chain saws, weed eaters, electric generators, water pumps, and boats, although the regulations for small engines will continue to allow considerably higher CO concentrations than the tighter regulations for on-road motor vehicles.

Why does the concentration of CO produced vary? Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion. Anything that leads to incomplete combustion increases CO production. Two major causes are a rich fuel mixture (more fuel than is needed), or restricted air supply (dirty or plugged air filter).

A gasoline engine producing 10,000 ppm CO at the ideal air-fuel ratio will produce over 60,000 ppm when the fuel is increased. Other causes of high CO production include; a cold engine, misfiring, incorrect engine timing, defective or worn parts, exhaust system leaks, and defective catalytic converters.

Why would a gasoline engine be set rich? The distribution of a liquid fuel, such as gasoline delivered through a carburetor, is not uniform. To ensure all cylinders obtain sufficient fuel to produce maximum power, the mixture must be rich. Excessively lean mixtures can cause engine problems, although fuel economy is improved with a lean mixture.

Combustion analysis equipment showing the air/fuel ratio and/or carbon monoxide production assists in correctly tuning an engine. Tuning by “sound” and “performance” more likely will produce an excessively rich setting, with higher CO concentrations. Improvements in fuel delivery systems, such as fuel injection coupled with oxygen sensors in the exhaust stream, greatly improve the control of the air/fuel mixture, improve fuel economy, and reduce carbon monoxide production.

What do catalytic converters do? The three-way catalytic converter reduces the amounts of nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons (unburned fuel), and carbon monoxide. CO concentrations as low as 15 ppm have been measured from a gasoline engine with fuel injection and a catalytic convertor.

• Is carbon monoxide a problem with diesel engines? Usually not, although any engine, including diesel, produces CO when combustion is incomplete.
• Diesel (compression ignition) engines run with an excess of air and often produce less than 1200 ppm CO.
• When diesel fuel is burned incompletely or when overloaded and over-fueled (rich mixture), diesel engines will produce high concentrations of CO.

Diesels usually pollute the air with particulates and nitrogen oxides, not CO. Is carbon monoxide a problem with LPG engines? Yes, and the same precautions against running a gasoline engine in an enclosed space should be observed with an LPG engine. Industry sources report a properly tuned LPG engine will produce from 200 to 20,000 ppm, depending on load.

1. A difference in CO production from an engine operating on LPG and one operating on gasoline usually results from more complete combustion of the LPG because it is already a vapor.
2. Unfortunately, most LPG engines have simple fuel delivery systems which can easily be adjusted too rich, allowing extra fuel into the engine and the subsequent high production of carbon monoxide.

On one new engine, adjustment of the idle mixture reduced CO concentrations from 44,500 ppm to 600 ppm. If LPG engines can produce high levels of CO, why are they used inside buildings? LPG burns cleaner than gasoline, and is a common fuel for forklifts and other engines used inside.

The exhaust fumes are noticeably free from aldehydes, the odorous and eye-irritating compounds found in gasoline exhaust. Typically LPG engines produce less carbon monoxide than a straight gasoline engine, however new modern gasoline engines with catalytic converters and fuel injection, will produce less CO than an LPG engine.

Remember that LPG engines do produce CO, and LPG engines running rich or misfiring produce extremely high concentrations of CO. NEVER USE LPG ENGINES IN AN UNVENTILATED AREA! What about other engines used inside, like those on gasoline powered electrical generators, concrete finishers, water pumps, and high pressure power washers? Small gasoline engines used on many tools typically use simple carburetor systems with limited control over the air-fuel ratio.

1. The engines run rich with high concentrations of carbon monoxide, typically 30,000 ppm or more.
2. Manufacturers stress that the engines are to be used only in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and are NEVER to be used indoors even with ventilation.
3. A 1996 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Alert calculated carbon monoxide concentrations in a 10,000 cubic foot room (21 x 21 x 21 feet) when a 5-horsepower gasoline engine was operated.

With one air change per hour CO concentrations reached over 1,200 ppm (the Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health level) in less than 8 minutes. Even with ventilation providing 5 air changes per hour, 1200 ppm was reached in less than 12 minutes. It is not safe to operate gasoline engines indoors! Are LPG powered floor buffers safe to use indoors? The combustion pollutants produced are a potential health risk and are known to have caused carbon monoxide poisoning.

Special engines with oxygen sensors and catalytic converters which closely control the air-fuel ratio and reduce contaminant concentrations (including carbon monoxide) in the exhaust stream are available. Only buffers with low emission engines should be used indoors. Manufacturers’ recommendations must be followed; provide adequate ventilation, proper maintenance, training for workers, and using carbon monoxide detectors.

Remember that high risk individuals, such as the elderly, the young, and the sick are at special risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Prepared by T.H. Greiner, Ph.D., P.E.

Where should a LPG regulator be placed?

The regulator safety relief valve (vent opening) should be located not less than 5 feet from any potential source of ignition, opening into any sealed combustion chamber appliance, and be not less than 5 feet from any mechanical ventilation air intake. Regulators are mechanical devices and are subject to wear and tear.

Which way do you install a gas regulator?

Gas Regulator Installation Tips – Whether you are working with an appliance regulator, line and service regulator, direct acting regulator, high pressure regulator, pilot operated regulator, or another type, knowing how your gas regulator works will go a long way in making the right decisions about installation.

Depending on the angle modification required for the gas intake manifold, the regulator position can be either horizontal or vertical, but never upside down. Preferably, place the regulator on the intake manifold and the gas shut off valve on the gas supply pipe. While most regulators allow for multi-position mounting, for vented regulators you may have to choose a vertical installation. When using a vent limiting device, the mounting necessarily needs to be in a horizontal upright position. Propane gas regulators need to point downwards, covered and protected, or they need an attached adapter that places the vent opening in a downward direction.

No matter which type of gas regulator you use, it is usually advisable to install a pressure gauge locally at the outlet and inlet of the regulator, along with gauge petcocks to manually isolate each gauge. These gauges monitor the performance and fieldset the regulator. → Shop Our Gas Regulators

What is an IGT gas?

How to make a gas leakage detector?

Circuit for LPG Leakage Detector –

First, let us connect the MQ-6 gas sensor with the Arduino, So you have to join the VCC pin of the gas sensor with the 5 volts pin of the Arduino. Then attach the GND pin of the gas sensor with the GND pin of the Arduino. Connect the OUT/A0 pin of the MQ-6 gas sensor with the analog-0 pin of the Arduino. Now make the connections between the 16×2 LCD and the digital pins of the Arduino as shown in the diagram. For reference, you can go through our article on interfacing of 16×2 LCD display with Arduino, After that connect the positive leg of the green LED with the digital- pin of the Arduino. Join the positive leg of the red LED with the digital- pin of the Arduino. At last, connect the negative legs of both the LEDs with the GND pin of the Arduino via a 220 ohm resistor, We are using a resistor here so that it protects LEDs from getting fuse. Your circuit is complete now and you can proceed with the next step.

How does a flame failure safety device work?

How Flame Failure Device FFD can protect us from gas leak accidents – The FFD stops the supply of gas to the burner when the flame is extinguished. This prevents the leakage of harmful gases from the gas appliance. Gas build-up can result in injury or sickness and, in severe cases, can be lethal if undetected for too long.
