Hobart 12371 Pressure Regulator NAT Gas 1/2" FPT 3-6" WC

The pressure regulator for commercial kitchen equipment using natural gas helps control gas flow so the equipment can operate at a stable pressure level. The device features 1/2" FPT inlet and outlet connections and operates within a 3–6" water column range. With support for up to 250,000 BTU, this pressure regulator helps control the gas entering the equipment to provide more even burner performance. By regulating incoming gas flow, it helps maintain a more consistent flame during operation. This pressure regulator is used in commercial gas-powered kitchen equipment that requires controlled fuel delivery for safe operation. Without this device, the equipment may experience irregular heat production and other operating issues.
