[TheForge] Propane info needed

[Jerry Frost]

Jeff:

Ron's right, it's pressure probably set in "inches" for 
appliances or worse set to run a forklift, etc. An 
adjustable prop. reg. only costs around $30. Not 
counting the hose, the last one I set up ran me less 
than $50 for the reg, gage and fittings.

So, to restate what Ron said, keep the hose and 
fittings, even the fitting that doesn't seem to fit 
your tank, it's probably a propane fuel connection for 
said forklift and chuck the regulator.

There is a chance the reg. is worth something though, 
maybe as a trade at the local propane distributor for 
one appropriate for a forge burner.

Jeff,

My guess is about 3#. Take the hose off, give it to me 
and toss the
regulator back in the trash. If it's not adjustable 
it's worthless for a
forge.

Yesterday I found a like new small gray propane 
regulator nicely attached to

a 6 foot propane rated hose with brass ends.  It has a 
brass fitting coming
out of the other side of the regulator which has a blue 
plastic cap
protecting the threads of the fitting which is similar 
to but doesn't fit on

a barbecue propane tank.  It appears to have never been 
used and was in the
trash in a heavy duet plastic bag.

It is Precimex brand and has 826 R L. P. Gas Regulator 
on it.  I want to
know what PSI it is set at so I can decide if it'll be 
usefull to me.
Anyone who's not at the Seattle Shindig (Terry) got any 
ideas?

Thanks,  Jeff Valentine
