Recommended Regulator For A Food Truck Using 340,000BTU's An Hour
Question:
Good afternoon, I am running a food truck with commercial equipment, Fryer pulling 170,000 BTUH 4 burners that pull 22,000 each 88,000 BTUH if all 4 are on and 36” griddle pulling 90,000. So a possibility of 340,000 BTUH off a 100lb LP tank, what size regulator is recommended? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
For that large of a pull you would need to use a regulator like the # 108220 or # 108221 depending on your setup. Both of these regulators have a 400,000btu/hr rating to handle your 340,000btu demand. The main thing to remember when installing the regulator is to make sure that the vents on facing down so you could need the vertical # 108220 or the horizontal # 108221 to achieve this.
