Have just done some tests on a client supplied LPG regulator with an outlet of 2.8 kpa upon testing the system the pressure is about 4 kpa and not until the system is running full bore does it drop below 3kpa. it is a brand new non adjustible regulator any ideas?

its only about 500mm of pipe work from the cylinder out side to the hob inside reading taken at the hob my understanding of a regulator is that it supplies a constant regulatated pressure downstream as set or per manufacturers settings are the LPG ones different?

If you have an un adjustable reg providing nearly double the intended pressure, replace it mate.

hi guys, quality control eh, just does not exist today we are it, make the supplier pay for the extra time,cheers
