These first stage regulators are used to reduce LP gas tank pressures for a second stage regulator (normally 10 PSIG). All MEC first stage regulators are red indicating high outlet pressure. First stage full size regulator vents have 3/4” FNPT tapped ports and E-Z Grip screens located over the outlet. Both the MEGR-1122H and the MEGR-1622H series offer optimal relief performance that exceeds UL test requirements providing double failure overpressure protection when used with MEC MEGR-1622 & MEGR-1652 series second stage regulators. All MEC Excela-FloTM domestic regulators feature a 25 year recommended replacement life and the MEC exclusive tear away leak check adhesive sticker.
MEGR-1622H Series offers all of the same features as the compact MEGR-1122H Series in a full size version. Our full size MEGR-1622H Series has a large fabric reinforced diaphragm for superior downstream regulation, heavy duty wrench flats, and a large 3/4” FNPT tapped drip lip vent to help prevent relief vent blockage.
