Is this timer used in series with a gas pressure regulator? If so, before or after?

This unit is for natural gas . To answer your question it is after the regulator. Your gas is regulated at the meter on most commercially supplied natural gas. If you use 20lb propane you do not need one of these. If you leave your grill on your tank will run out before you burn up your grill. Nice safety device to protect your grill and your wallet. If you forget to turn your grill off at the knobs this has your back, so your grill will not run for a week or the next time you notice it on.

I have mine connected in Series in the following sequence. Gas Mains to house, to mains regulator, to various gas appliances including a plumbed in gas grill. The hard line then exits onto the deck where I next installed a stop valve and then the GASAV then via fittings and a flexible hose to my grill. However, this stopped working about a month after installation. It is permanently stuck at 15 mins.

Yes in series after the regulator. Preferably as close to the device as possible works great. Saves allot of money

just one, run the timers in series.as long as both timers have the place to connect sensor. some timers don't have that option.

Sally, Yes. My reason is this: If you are replacing a old timer with new, the component parts down stream --the electronically-operated valves -- don't care what kind of timer you are using. For all "they" care, it could be a timer from another manufacturer. You are good to go! The only semi-difficult part of installation is getting the wiring correct when you make the transfer. I took a picture to use as a guide. Also, change the internal 9 volt back-up battery once a year. That will keep your programmed settings in memory if there's a power failure. Cheers, Jerry

Yes, if it's less than 10 Amps.http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Timers/Spring_Wound/FD_FF_Instructions.pdf

I sent my unit back because it never would start the timer, as if it hadn't gotten to pressure. However, what was in there got cooked. Ok....if you just let the pressure go down by itself, it may take 15 minutes before it will unlock. Just keep in mind that it will continue to cook some during this process. If you want to lower the pressure quickly, and think it will be messy, you can hold paper towels loosely over the valve while you release it.

If you check on line you will find other people have complained of the same thing. That after a while the OEM regulator inhibits high gas flow rates. Ours got to the point of not working at all. After purchasing this unit which comes complete with everything the problem was immediately resolved and the BBQ is back to working perfectly.

It is just on or off trigger. I do not know of a variable trigger impact. I guess you could play with the air regulator, but can't understand why anyone needs a variable trigger.

Oh yes it is . I have one running right now in my kitchen. my central air is out. I have the smaller one also. I like the timer as well as the different settings .

I am using propane with mine. That is the type of regulator that came with mine.

Yes. You can use this timer. Check you're defrost tubes,make sure they are not burned out. First.

wish I could help, mine is still working fine. My guess is that they are trying to find a more reliable manufacturer for these regulators. good luck

Hi Alan, not sure about your question but i've had 2 of these regulators fail on me. both within a month of receiving. see other similar reviews. this is not a reliable part. D

You can certainly T-off and run the timer but the pressure would be determined by the pressure you have on your line to begin with and the size of the pipes you use. The timer would have no bearing on that. The timer has standard hose sizing. Running 4 lines on one output will substantially reduce your output on the lines, to 25% on each line. Simple math. If your lines are of a smaller guage then you will not have a problem. Reduce the pipe size for their output (you can do this and maintain a good sprinkler system) and it will still work.

Mine did the same after first use, worked out it was a faulty gas regulator, took it back and they swapped the regulator with another one and it works fine again..

Yes.; Its normal position is off and to let gas through that pipe the timer must be turned on.

We were ab to use this regulator on a single BG10 burner and then use it on a fuel rail with two BG14's and one BG10. The regulator performed great holding pressure stable in any setting we had it adjusted to. We never actually had a pressure gauge on either set-up but the regulator as able to be adjusted low enough to allow the BG10 to have a very small flame.
