Recommended Regulator for LP Garage Heater
Question:
Recommended maximum inlet is 14 WC with a minimum 11 WC. This is a 30,000 BTU heater using 100 pounds. I have 2 50 pound tanks and 2 40 pound tanks that I use for a swimming pool water heater. I would like a recommendation

For your 30,000 BTU LP garage heater you will want to use a dual-stage propane regulator. If you need a vertical regulator the MB Sturgis # 108220 will work great or for a horizontal regulator you can use part # 108221. These dual-stage regulators will reduce the tank pressure to 10 psi to stabilize the gas and then reduce it to constant 11" WC for efficient gas flow.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these regulators that you can also check out.
