October 6, 20178 yr with my becma forge came a spare gas regulator but it is incorrect for fitment to the uk type fitment of gas tanks , does anyone know of a adaptor i can use to make it work , ive been unsuccessful so far finding anything to make it work . obviously a new regulator may be the answer but what to go for is then also another question if anyone may have advice id appreciate it !.
October 6, 20178 yr I presume it is propane and that bottles are the same as here in England is the regulator fixed or adjustable? pressure range? go to you local bottled gas place ( old style hardware store is far better than most modern places and will have a better range ) or a place that supplies farmers, here there are several in each county that supply all the hardware and tools farms need
October 6, 20178 yr I bought the wrong type of regulator for my tank (I got a 100 gallon tank with threads on the inside), and went to my local welding store. The offered to sell me a regulator that would work for my tank for ~$110(it wasn't overpriced, it just was way more than I needed, up to like 150 PSI, 2 gauges etc), or for $5.50 they sold me the parts to convert my existing $20 amazon regulator to work with my tank. Not sure if that is an option for you, but propane/welding suppliers I have found to be very knowledgeable and helpful people. I also found adapters on Amazon, so that would be another place to look.
October 6, 20178 yr Author It is a adjustable regulator for the use of propane . not sure of differences in different countries but certainly doesn't work here . it works between 4-6 bar pressure . will take a look on amazon to see if i find a solution as its one place ive not checked out . thanks
October 6, 20178 yr 4 bar is 58 psi, 6 bar is 87 psi, all of my gas forges work below 20 psi! Is there a decimal off in that description?
October 8, 20178 yr Author sorry only getting on again now . was out yesterday on the search for a solution to my problem and was sent to a gas fitter who had what i needed which was a brass adaptor , ( European to UK fitting ) . i can now carry on getting everything sorted out again and hopefully some work done ! . @ThomasPowers no decimal point in that description that i provided . thank you to everyone who helped .
