  • === 1st let us be clear that the natural gas is provided by a gas pipeline from the street to your property and it is not a tank == the natural gas provider should be called and ask them to inspect your ""gas meter"" for faulty delivery and low pressure === it is possible that your gas water heater needs to be cleaned and vacuumed out and the burner is clogged [[ if you have already done that then the problem is with the gas regulator that is a part of the gas meter ... there is no need for you to try to work on the delivery system as this is the responsibility of the gas provider company ++++ SECONDLY ___ if you do have a gas tank in your yard and the pressure is low then you need to get a new ""regulator "" and that attaches to your gas tank ============ the gas distribution in your home is very close to the rating of 4PSI [[ four pounds per square inch]]] and the idea of a pump to control that low 4PSI will not wqork for you === please call your gas provider and twell them the problem and they will be right out to your home and fix-it as they want you happy and enjoying the service that you pay to have at your home ..........

    Natural gas implies piped gas as from a utility company and the pressure is regulated at the meter where it enters your home. If it's propane, then yes it is probably the regulator. replacement is easy, unless the installer buried it in something. it's supposed to be out in the open, but protected from weather as it would be on typical BBQ. Most BBQ regulators reduce the LP (liquid propane) gas pressure to between 2 and 10 psi, depending on the size of your grill. If you have a lot of burners (i.e. 50,000 BTU total or more) then more pressure is needed to feed all the flames. If you buy a replacement regulator from a BBQ store (Depot, Lowe's , or other hdwe) get one for a large grill. If your regulator is installed remotely (on the tank at some distance from the grill) you can often adjust the pressure of that by removing a cover and tightening the pan screw or nut in the center. If your grill has a typical BBQ installation, (gas tank, regulator, black hose) then measure the length of hose on the existing and look for the part. $40 is typical. If you have spider webs or cocoons in the venturis leading to the burners, a small bottle brush will clean them out. If you hear gas flowing when you turn on the grill, but 1 or 2 burners get almost no gas, it's bugs. Loosely wrap a bit of metal screen around those air intakes to prevent bugs. If ALL burners get zilch, it's either the safety valve in the tank sticking shut or the regulator. If it's the safety valve, turn off the tank, remove the hose fitting, replace the fitting, open the valve s l o w l y. With the gas ON, check fittings and hoses for leaks with soapy water (windex works for this)

  • I don't think there is such a device for the home. The overall gas pressure to your home is handled by the gas company. By the time it comes out of your gas meter, it should be around 5 PSI. Get the gas company to send someone to your home and do a pressure measurement. The best solution for a low pressure problem is to increase the size of the gas pipe in the home. You're going to need a licensed gas fitter. In most homes, the gas pipe size is either 1/2 or 3/4 inch pipe. To get more gas, increase the volume. Use 1.5 inch pipe throughout to the point of use. At the point of use, use reducer fitting to get back to 1/2 or 3/4 inch for your appliances (i.e. stove, water heater, dry, etc.). It is also important to shorten the distance from the gas meter to point of use. Turns and Tee also cause gas flow problems, you want fewer of those. This should solve your gas problem. 1.5 inch pipe may be overkill but it would solve your gas problem. Check out the webpage on natural gas piping for home. The values in the charts will change depending on your area.
