propane safety valve supplier

Houses or buildings utilizing gas energy require a gas piping system to power heaters, ovens, and other heating appliances. One of the most important elements of a gas piping system is the propane service valve, which controls propane gas flow in and out of a building. While there may be many other valves within gas plumbing, this valve functions as an on/off switch and serves as the main point of control for cutting off or allowing for the flow of gas into a piping system.

Propane valves are simply used to turn gas on or off. Similar to that of a water faucet, propane valves consist of a handwheel that controls propane gas flow when turned. When the wheel is turned, a stem and seat mechanism located within the valve opens or closes to prevent or allow gas flow from the tank.

Using propane gas requires an LP gas regulator, which decreases the amount of pressure released into the gas line, keeping it at an acceptable and safe level while still meeting the needs of the application.

There are multiple different valves in any propane system, each of which has a particular job. At IPS Equipment, we provide some of the most common types of valves for propane systems, including:

A pressure or safety relief valve is a safety mechanism that every propane system needs. It allows excess pressure in the tank to be slowly and safely released. Without this valve, pressure can build up and cause the tank to crack or rupture.

The relief valve has a pressurized spring. If the pressure levels within the tank grow too high, the spring forces the valve open just enough to return the pressure levels to acceptable levels. Once the pressure decreases, the spring relaxes, and the valve automatically closes.

This valve is where gas delivery personnel add new gas to a propane tank. Propane delivery trucks have hoses that can be attached to the filler valve so propane can be pumped into the tank. This valve is also pressure-activated, and it opens automatically in response to the pressure in the hose.

Filler valves have gaskets that operators can push the hose end against to avoid propane leaks. They also only allow for unidirectional fluid movement, meaning that once the tank is full, there is no risk of propane escaping when the hose is withdrawn.

This shut-off valve prevents gas from entering the building and any attached appliances. You can use this central point of control like an on/off switch to completely halt the path of gas in the system.

This valve is also called a vapor return valve or vapor eliminator valve. It ensures that propane is delivered at the proper pressure levels from the propane delivery truck to a personal tank and returns any excess propane back to the delivery truck. This is similar to a safety valve, except the vapor equalizing valve ensures the propane is delivered at proper pressures for optimum use, not safety. This is especially crucial during hot weather or in warm environments, as that can increase the pressure.

This specialized valve is meant for use by propane companies only. It allows operators with the proper tools to drain liquid propane from the tank. Propane tanks must be drained to <5% capacity levels before they can legally be moved.

Most conventional tank valves are not field-repairable. But with RegO, you’re ready to go when you roll up. Our innovations in propane tank valves include our patented RegO MultiBonnet®, the industry’s only field-repairable tank valves that provides users easy access to repair the valve stem packing without disruption of service and without the added cost of evacuating the tank. Jobs that used to take hours now take minutes.

RegO MultiValves contain UL-listed, factory installed and tested Presto-Tap fitting that provides a quick and easy, cost-effective method of performing a system leak test that saves you time and money while reducing emissions by up to 90%

Combines low emission double back check filler valve, vapor equalizing valve, pressure relief valve, MultiBonnet service valve, fixed liquid level gauge, “junior” sized float gauge flange opening and factory installed and tested Presto-Tap.

These compact MultiValves are especially suited for vapor withdrawal of ASME containers where compact groupings of components are necessary. Separate filler valves andpressure relief valves are required.

Designed for vapor withdrawal service on ASME and DOT containers or in fuel line applications. Since none of these valves have an integral pressure relief valve, they may only be used as an accessory valve on containers that have an independent pressure relief valve sufficient for that container’s capacity.

These MultiValves permit vapor withdrawal from ASME containers up to 50 sq. ft. surface area and DOT containers up to 420lb propane capacity. They allow on-site cylinder filling without interrupting gas service.

Combines high capacity double back check filler valve, MultiBonnet service valve, fixed liquid level gauge, pressure relief valve and factory installed and tested Presto-Tap.

The RegO Presto-Tap Universal Service Tech Kit has all the diagnostic tools needed to perform system leak testing at any point of the propane system all in one easy-to-carry bag.

With RegO Ready-to-Go® LPG valves and test kits there’s no need to break into the system to perform routine services, such as leak testing or valve stem packing replacement.

Our patented RegO MultiBonnet assembly design gives users access to the valve stem packing for repair without interruption of service or evacuation of the tanks and the resulting gas loss.

Designed to provide a convenient means of withdrawing liquid from stationary containers before moving the container. Permits one transfer shut-off valve with an adapter to be used interchangeably on a number of tanks.

Incorporates a resilient upper check valve (filler valve), and a lower check valve, (back pressure check valve). Sized to cover virtually all LP-Gas storage containers, these low-emission valves are UL listed and meet NFPA standards.

Designed for use as a primary relief valve on ASME or DOT containers. The Pop-Action design protects the system while minimizing unwanted product loss.

This combined valve is designed to provide fast filling and protection against overfilling of horizontal ASME or vertical above ground small bulk type containers.

Designed for vapor withdrawal service on ASME and DOT containers or in fuel line applications. Since none of these valves have an integral pressure relief valve, they may only be used as an accessory valve on containers that have an independent pressure relief valve sufficient for that container’s capacity.
