Question:

I have a 1953 Servel propane refrigerator that I need to get a regulator for. Will this work or is it not enough pressure. What is the psi

I did some checking and the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator w/ 6' Long Hose Item # CAM57703 is rated for a maximum of 75,000 BTUs per hour and an 11 inch water column. Check to see what the refrigerator requires to determine if this rating is compatible. Regulators are rated using BTUs and water column information. The hose has a psi rating but the pressure would never get anywhere near what the hose is rated for which is 350 PSIG (the G means the pressure is relative to the atmospheric pressure). In this situation though it is not a factor.
