Most natural gas systems and all LP gas systems have a service regulator located near the point where the
gas piping enters the building.
The propane tank will normally have an additional fi rst stage regulator located at the tank outlet valve. All of
these regulators (located outdoors) will have a vent. (Figure 2)
It is important for these vents to remain clear. Do not allow moisture, which could freeze, to build up in the vent.
If you see moisture building up in the regulator vent, contact your gas supplier.
