I was under the impression that LPG regs were fixed pressure. Are you intending to use it instead of a cask breather?

Sorry i'm late responding Jim like you i've got the lurgie. The reg is for controlling the flow of LPG gas to the boiler burner (you know the one's little round red things on a propane bottle) it increases the flow from "normal" low pressure to "high pressure" more gas http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADJUSTABLE-PR ... 2a30990fb7,. Anyway i've sorted it now it's screw down to increase the flow. It now roars like a jet engine. This was not easy as i was converting it from natural gas to Propane.

Ah right. I've heard of them being used as budget cask breathers.

Hope you're feeling better now!
