Proper installation and maintenance will ensure maximum service life. The recommended service life of all RegO regulators manufactured after 1995 is 25 years except single-stage regulators. Single-stage regulators carry a 15-year recommended service life. Per NFPA 58 Single stage regulators are not permitted to be installed on fixed piping systems after June 30, 1997. For any system installed prior to this date, the regulator would be beyond the 15-year recommended service life, and replacement should be made with a twin-stage regulator or a two-stage system.</p> <h2>Regulator Installation Tips</h2> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/FieldTopic-01.jpg" alt="images highlighting certain bullet points" /></p> <ul> <li>Ensure your inlet nozzle is tightened securely into the body. When installing a new regulator use two wrenches to ensure the inlet nozzle does not loosen.</li> <li>Install a new pigtail or hogtail when installing a new regulator.</li> <li>Do not use excess pipe sealant, as it can move downstream and affect regulator performance.</li> <li>Install Second Stage Regulators 12-18” off the ground and/or above snow accumulation.</li> <li>When regulators are not installed under a protective cover or tank lid, install with the vent pointed vertically downwards. This would apply even when remote venting a system.</li> <li>If seasonal temperatures periodically reach -20 F, or colder the first stage regulator should not be set higher than 10 PSIG. If they reach -35 F, or colder the setting should not be higher than 5 PSIG.</li> <li>Regulators must be vented at least 5 feet from the relief discharge to any source of ignition, or mechanical air intake, and 3 feet minimum from any building opening.</li> <li>When installing a regulator at a container connection, ensure the regulator is placed above the container connection to ensure any liquid droplets fall back into the container.</li> <li>When installing regulators at an underground container connection, ensure the regulator is placed above the highest probable water level. In some cases, venting to the top of the container may be necessary to ensure the bonnet cap is tight and the vent screen is used at the outlet connection of the pipe away.</li> <li>When installing a 597 or 1580 series high-pressure regulator, a 3139 series pressure relief valve is required to provide over pressure protection downstream of the regulator outlet. The plug ports are only for use with a pressure gauge.</li> </ul> <h2>Regulator Service Tips</h2> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/FieldTopic-01.jpg" alt="images highlighting certain bullet points" /></p> <ul> <li>Check the regulator vent for obstructions and properly sized. Any vent piping must be equal to or greater than the vent outlet.</li> <li>Make sure the vent screen and suppressor are in place and in good working condition.</li> <li>Ensure the inlet nozzle is properly tightened.</li> <li>For high lock-up or creep, check the inlet nozzle and seat disc for debris. Clean or replace the inlet nozzle and seat disc reinstall and recheck your lock-up. Inspect your inlet gas line if debris is found replacement of pigtails and piping may be necessary.</li> <li>When available use a Presto-Tap<sup>®</sup> gauge for leak checks and gauge purposes. This will help to prevent debris from traveling into the inlet by moving the pigtail to add a gauge.</li> <li>Make sure the regulator is properly selected for the BTU load and system demand. Reference should be made to the Performance Curve Selector on the RegO APP.</li> <li>Replace any regulator that has been submerged under water.</li> </ul> <p>Should you have any questions or concern, please contact Cody Reeves Technical Services Manager for Rego.<br /> Phone: <a href="https://www.tarantin.com/tel:3364467292" style="text-decoration: none; color: #005dab;">336.446.7292</a><br /> Email: <a href="mailto:creeves@regoproducts.com" style="text-decoration: none; color: #005dab;">creeves@regoproducts.com</a></p>]]></description> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Sep 2021 12:50:37 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>QR Codes for Algas Vaporizers</title> <link>https://www.tarantin.com/blog/propane-101/qr-codes-for-algas-vaporizers</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.tarantin.com/blog/propane-101/qr-codes-for-algas-vaporizers</guid> <description><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Algas-SDI Product Bulletin</strong></h2> <p><strong>Bulletin Number:</strong> QR081521</p> <p><strong>Topic:</strong> QR Codes</p> <p><strong>Products:</strong> TORREXX Electric Vaporizers, Direct Fired Vaporizers, ZIMMER Electric Vaporizers &amp; Second Sun Catalytic Tank Heaters</p> <p><strong>Models:</strong> All Models</p> <p>Manuals at the ready!

It will produce a lot of heat. Plus, the flickering of the flames will add more atmosphere to the home. But there are many types of fireplaces on the market. Let’s take a closer look at direct-vent gas fireplaces and whether it is the right choice for you.</p> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/Rushmore.jpg" alt="Rushmore direct-vent fireplace insert in a stone fireplace." style="margin: 10px;" /></p> <h2>What is a Direct-Vent Fireplace?</h2> <p>The best place to start is by defining what makes a direct-vent fireplace so special.&nbsp; The secret lies in where it draws air from. Traditionally, the air will come from inside the house. The exhausts then go up the vent to the outside. However, this is inefficient, sucking the heat out of the room. A direct-vent uses a double chamber. The interior sucks cold air from the outside, feeding it into the fireplace where it is heated. The inner tube removes the fumes. As a result, you won’t need to install a flue. Now that we know how this system works, let’s look at some of the pros and cons.</p> <h2>Efficient Systems</h2> <p>One of the biggest advantages is how efficient this system is. Compared to traditional models, more heat will be produced, and less will be lost. Usually, they will be sealed off with a glass door. This reduces heat loss. Because of this, you won’t need to use as much gas to heat your room.</p> <h2>More Versatility</h2> <p>Another benefit is that they don’t need a flue. The vent can be put through a wall. As a result, you’ll have a lot of installation options to explore. It comes in a wide range of shapes of sizes. As a result, you’ll be able to put it in almost any room of the house. If you want, you can use the existing fireplace infrastructure. This will make it easy for you to replace a wood-burning fireplace with a gas one.</p> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/Tahoe.jpg" alt="Tahoe direct-vent fireplace insert in a stone fireplace." style="margin: 10px;" /></p> <h2>Gas Can Be Expensive</h2> <p>One of the reasons why some people are hesitant about purchasing a gas fireplace is the costs involved. Gas is an expensive heating material.&nbsp; This is especially important when compared to alternatives, like wood. It’s also important to think about where you are purchasing your gas from. &nbsp;</p> <h2>Lower Maintenance Costs</h2> <p>The next thing that you need to consider is how much it costs to maintain the system. The good news is that system excels in this area. Because there isn’t a flue, you won’t need to pay someone to clean it. Also, gas will build a lot cleaner than wood. As a result, most people who own this system will only need to pay around $125. This covers the annual check-up to make sure that everything is operating properly in the winter months. <br /> The installation costs are fairly reasonable as well. Usually, you will need to pay between $3,000 to $4,000. This will give you everything that you need to get the direct-vent fireplace up and running.</p> <h2>More Environmentally Friendly</h2> <p>Another benefit is that gas is an environmentally friendly option, especially compared to something like wood. Gas won’t produce any smoke or fumes. It burns relatively cleanly. Natural gas will produce 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide than coal or wood. Because of this, you won’t be having a big impact on climate change.</p> <h2>Lack of Wood Flames or Aroma</h2> <p>When thinking of a fireplace, you often conjure up the image of logs smoldering and the smoky aroma. But you won’t get this with a gas-burning fireplace. You will get some realistic flames, but the smell won’t be the same. Also, you won’t get to see the embers lifting off the log and going up the chimney. Whether this will be a significant problem will depend on what you are looking for in a fireplace.</p> <h2>Convenient</h2> <p>Another unique benefit of a direct-vent fireplace is how convenient it is.&nbsp; You will be able to turn it on with the click of a button. Within minutes, your home will be warm. You don’t need to worry about chopping logs or setting the blaze. Depending on the model, you might be able to control it using an app on your phone. There might even be a timer, which you can use to determine when it turns on and off.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>Some people will be wedded to the idea of a wood-burning fireplace. But there are plenty of upsides to switching to a direct-vent gas fireplace. It burns more efficiently, it gives you more installation options, and it is more convenient to operate.

There are dozens of ways that you will be able to use it. You can use it to host parties almost anywhere. You'll be able to take the family to the park or have dinner on the beach. A portable grill can also come in useful when you are planning a camping trip. But how can you find the perfect portable barbecue for your family? Here are some of the things you should be looking for.</p> <h4>Weight and Shape</h4> <p>So, you'll need your portable grill to be... well... portable.&nbsp; How easy it will be to move about will usually depend on two factors. The size and weight. Obviously, you don’t want to be lugging around a 700-pound grill. Often, portable barbecues will have wheels to make them easier to move around. As long as you can lift them into the car, you should be fine.</p> <p>When it comes to the shape of the grill, this will often depend on your cooking style. Some people will prefer a rectangular grill plate. Others will want a circular one. This will also be influenced by the number of people that you are cooking for. The key is to be able to get one that will be able to fit neatly in the back of the car. It can also help if there are handles for you to grip onto. This will make it a lot easier to move around.</p> <h4>Ease of Use</h4> <p>Another thing you'll need to consider is how easy it will be to use your grill. When you arrive, will you need to set it up and fold it out? Or do you just need to take the lid off and start cooking? You'll also want to consider how easy it will be to keep it clean. The easier it is to keep the grill clean, the more time you will have to spend with your friends and family.</p> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/chicken-on-grill.jpg" alt="Chicken on a portable barbecue grill." style="margin: 20px, 1px, 20px, 1px; border-radius: 8px;" /></p> <h4 style="margin-top: 10px;">Fuel Source</h4> <p>The next thing that you need to consider is the fuel source. The ideal one for you will depend on the type of foods you plan on cooking and the flavors you want to create. For a portable grill, you'll often have a few options. You can either use gas or charcoal. They both have pros and cons.</p> <p>Gas is the most convenient option. Once you attach the bottle to the grill, you'll be able to start cooking. After the bottle is finished, you'll be able to refill it. It's also a lot easier to set and control the temperature of a gas grill. However, the downside is the flavor. Many grilling experts agree that gas won't produce the same delicious taste as charcoal.</p> <p>Though charcoal might be more flavorful, you might need to put in a little extra work. The good news is that this doesn't need to be a complex process. Once you have started a charcoal fire, it should be able to last for a long time. This will allow you to relax with your friends and family, as you wait for the meat to become tender. For an even more relaxing time, use a Bluetooth meat thermometer. It will send you an alert when the food is ready. . If you want to learn more about the benefits of this type of cooking and get more tips on finding the right barbecue, check out this guide to <a href="https://grillguru.org/best-portable-charcoal-grill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">portable charcoal grills</a>.</p> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/Grill-01.jpg" alt="Ultimate portable grill being used in the park." style="margin: 20px, 1px, 20px, 1px; border-radius: 8px;" /></p> <p style="margin-top: 10px;">Tarantin sells the ultimate in portable charcoal (see above) grilling with the <a href="https://www.tarantin.com/items/UPG-G-13" target="_blank"><em>Ultimate Portable Grill</em></a>. It cooks using charcoal, a fan is used to heat the coals quickly, and best of all, it’s smokeless!</p> <h4>Don't Forget the Accessories</h4> <p>Once you've found the ideal grill, it's time to turn your attention to getting the perfect accessories. There are lots of awesome things to use with your grill. For example, a lighter can be very useful. Tarantin Industries sells a <a href="https://www.tarantin.com/items/GM-4" target="_blank">refillable lighter</a> and the <a href="https://www.tarantin.com/items/REFILL" target="_blank">butane</a> to refill it.</p> <p>You'll also need to make sure that you have the right cooking equipment. At the very least, you'll need to get a meat thermometer. Measuring the internal temperature is the best way to tell whether or not your food is cooked properly. You'll also need a brush to scrub the grill when you are finished. This will make cleaning a lot easier.</p> <p><img src="https://www.tarantin.com/images/blog/2021/shish-kabob-on-grill.jpg" alt="Shish kabob on a grill." style="margin: 20px, 1px, 20px, 1px; border-radius: 8px;" /></p> <h4 style="margin-top: 10px;">Conclusion</h4> <p>A portable grill is one of the most versatile cooking you will own. You'll be able to take it camping or use it for a backyard party. When you're finished, it will be easy to clean and store. Though there are plenty of options on the market, it shouldn't be hard to find your perfect portable barbecue. Hopefully, these tips will make it easier for you to narrow down the options.</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Mon, 17 May 2021 13:43:44 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Multiport Device Suggested Maintenance Guide</title> <link>https://www.tarantin.com/blog/propane-101/multiport-device-suggested-maintenance-guide</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.tarantin.com/blog/propane-101/multiport-device-suggested-maintenance-guide</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-align: right; font-size: 18px;">Per Rego Field Topics</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.tarantin.com/products/2237" target="_blank">MultiPort<sup>®</sup> Pressure Relief Valve</a> Manifold Assemblies are designed for continuous, uninterrupted service on pressurized storage containers with flanged openings.
