How Do I Adjust The Low Flame Level From A Gas Burner?

Most times, after you might have connected your gas cylinder bottle, attached with HOSE pipe to your gas cooker/stove, you switch on the LPG regulator, only to discover just a little or low flames from your gas burners. This problem may be from a lot of technical issues, but first, check if you have enough LPG gas in the gas cylinder. 

In most cases, when LPG is at the exhaust level, you will experience low flames coming out from the gas burner. To fix this, you should call and order for a refill. However, if this issue still continues, it is either from the regulator attached to the gas cylinder bottle. It may be that it is not properly installed to the cylinder valve. Valve on the LPG allows the gas to pass through the regulator to the gas stove. To fix this, turn off the gas bottle, then gently remove the regulator attached to the valve. Fix by following the steps simple steps:

* Make sure you are using the right regulator recommended for the cylinder bottle.

* Also, check the rubber hose is correctly fastened to the regulator and user appliance.

* Press firmly the regulator and push hard inside so it can stand firm on the cylinder bottle valve. 

* Push the "ON" button off. Afterwards, with a strong push downwards, a "CLICK" sound should be heard, meaning the regulator has been correctly fitted. 

Another cause of low flames from gas burner can be from a damaged regulator control or the regulator pin pressing inside the neck valve per release of gas gets detolerate. When the regulator knob is turned on, the pin inside goes down and release the gas. The regulator works as a chamber room where it gets released. In most cases, even if you increase the temperature from the regulator control, this problem WILL still persist. This is as a result of the pin inside the regulator not pressing firmly on the pin point on the cylinder bottle valve. To fix this issue, you will need to replace your the LPG regulator, as there's no fixed repairs for a damaged regulator. Sometimes, a regulator continues to give good service especially imported italian regulators. They can serve ten years or more before it would developed some mechanical trouble (getting stuck while turning on and off).

However, for fake LPG regulators, some worked well only for a year or worse less than six months. This is why should only buy LPG regulators from authorized distributors.

NOTE: Do not attempt to place a stone inside the cylinder bottle valve as a support for a detolerated regulator pin. This trick can lead to dangerous unexpected situations. A leakage can occur, leading to ignition. Don't not add internal objects as an extra pressure to assist the LPG regulator pin to properly press the valve pin point. It is best you order for a new LPG regulator.
