Regulator problems I have a Hobart EFO40 deep fryer convert to propane and connected to a propane tank via a inline regulator. The fryer will heat to a set temperature. Once the oil cools, the burner will not kick on until I release some propose from the regulator. Do I have bad regulator or is something else wrong? Help please.

14 inches water column, Valve not seating on control valve will cause beeding on burners .

you will be needing a gas regulator (available at local hardware)when connecting the unit to a bottled propane.you will also need a conversion kit if your unit is designed for natural gas consumption.contact the manufacturer if ever you need a conversion kit.

Yes. The burner orifices and the pilot orifice need to be changed. Also, the regulator or regulator spring needs to be changed on the gas valve.... depends on the brand. That's it.

Make sure the regulator assembly on the gas valve is for propane. Sounds like the gas pressure is too low and the flames aren't going into the burner tubes. Make sure they didn't install an appliance regulator on the back of the fryer. This is not needed as the fryer has a regulator on the gas valve. You can unscrew the cap on the regulator assembly and turn the plastic screw inside all the way in. DO not turn with alot of force. Easy does it.

On the gas valve is a regulator assembly. On Robertshaw models you change the assembly (held in place by 2 screws). On a Honeywell valve you change the spring inside the regulator assembly.

The gas valve has a regulator on it....but there must be a regulator at the tank that steps it down from tank pressure to operating pressure. Operating pressure for LP is less than 1/2 psi. If you are using this for a trailer....a 40 lb tank would be best.
