gas regulator
Flow control device
A gas regulator is a device that controls the pressure of gas flowing from a high-pressure source to a lower, usable pressure.
Regulators appear on propane tanks, welding equipment, natural gas lines, and medical oxygen systems.
Without regulation, gas would flow at dangerous or inconsistent pressures: Check the regulator before lighting the grill.
