According to DVGW Worksheet G 607 "Liquid gas systems in inhabited recreational vehicles and for residential purposes in other road vehicles – operation and testing", pressure regulators, among others, must be replaced no later than 10 years after the date of manufacture. If the operating pressure of the system is 30 mbar, a regulator according to EN 16129 Appendix D must be used when replacing the regulator in accordance with G 607. For liquid gas systems in vehicles with an operating pressure of 50 mbar, there is protection of the existing standard. There is no obligation to convert to 30 mbar.
The regulators are ideal for gas boxes and small camping vehicles where space is limited. In the VW camper vans by Westfalia, the regulator with the L-shape was installed until 2005. For vehicles built since 2006, the regulator with the U-shape is used. Nominal flow: 0.8 kg/h.
U-shape: Thanks to the U-shape, the transition to the hose is located at the base of the gas cylinder and therefore does not extend beyond the gas cylinder.
L-shape: Thanks to the L-shape (90° angle), the hose is guided downwards and needs less space than conventional regulators.
