How Do Gas Regulators Distribute Gas Around a Home?
Once a gas meter is installed and connected to the main gas line in your street, you will then need to run gas pipework through your home to various appliances and outlets. This includes the use of a natural gas regulator valve.
In natural gas meters, the pressure of the gas supplied can vary depending on atmospheric conditions, demand, and the time of the year. In order to provide properties with a consistent flow pressure, gas meters use a regulator. You will find a gas regulator on your gas meter but also within appliances themselves. A stove, for instance, will include its own regulator to make sure the gas flow rate is adjusted in line with manufacturer guidelines.
