Niky

I understand it comes set at 5.5", but I need to set the regulator at 7". Should I turn the knob clockwise? Hou much?
1 Answer
Adjustment is done by turning the adjustment screw under the seal cap to turn the pressure up or down, and measuring the resulting gas pressure using a manometer at the valve for the appliance. As you can't test the pressure directly at the 670 regulator, I would turn the pressure on the regulator all the way down when attaching to your appliance, and then gradually raising the pressure until the reading is at 7" WC.

Is this regulator made to withstand high heat? Does being near the flames damage it? Or is there another way to control the gas flow?
1 Answer
This regulator is not intended for installation inside a firebox, so, no, it is not designed to withstand high temperatures or to be near fire. We would recommend checking with the manufacturer of your particular burner for options to reduce the gas pressure.

Will this device allow me to also regulate the pilot on my gas log?
1 Answer
It will not. Any manual gas valves will have a machine head screw located on the valve body for adjusting the pilot flame, so I'd look for this on the body of your gas valve. The circular opening for the pilot adjustment screw will typically have the word "PILOT" above it.

January 23, 2018
Sir I have a new direct vent Williams dual sided 50k btu wall heater I have installed and the manual calls for a max of 7" W.C / min 5" W.C.. I have to further lower to 4.0" on the output side of the furnace valve. My city gas inlet reads 10.5" to about 13" W.C... The gas company said they would lower it for me but then the rest of my gas appliances would not work. We agreed a gas regulator for this one appliance was the way to solve that problem. My question is would this regulator be safe to install inside near or below the burner system where the main furnace valve is located? It does not get hot in this area. It's down low between studs of the wall but not closed in to allow gas buildup. I need 1/2 NPT on both ends. Could you recommend the proper regulator for this furnace installation that I could order? Thank you.
1 Answer
That would be the correct regulator and would work fine in that application.

My current regulator is set at 4.5 but has broken and leaks gas. If I buy this how do I adjust it down to the 4.5 wc that my gas log set needs?
1 Answer
Adjustment is done by turning the adjustment screw under the seal cap to turn the pressure up or down, and measuring the resulting gas pressure using a manometer at the valve for the gas log set. As you can't test the pressure directly at the 670 regulator, I would turn the pressure on the regulator all the way down when attaching to your log set, and then gradually raising the pressure until the reading is at 4.5 WC.

Can this regulator be installed inside the firebox at the back of a natural gas log set?
1 Answer
It is indeed possible to install this regulator within the firebox, as long as it is located as far as possible from direct flame. It is best to use a flex line or appropriate rigid fittings to ensure the regulator is as far in the back corner as space allows.

The correct gas regulator, delivered fast.
After receiving my new Williams Direct Vent Heater, I found that I could not locate the correct in-line regulator. The pressure is critical. Even the "contractor/pro" plumbing shops couldn't help. Not only did eFireplace Store have the correct regulator, it was delivered within a few days. Ahhh! Nice, warm garage.

Fixed My Problem
My flame was way too high on a log set, the currently installed flame is perfect.
