Best Regulator for 165,000 btu
Updated 05/19/2025 | Published 10/01/2020
Question:
I checked and the max I would need would be 165 000btu if I use every appliance at the same time. What worries me a bit is the pressure. It's a 35 foot trailer and some appliances are far from the tanks 20 feet. Any regulator better than the other for that?

Expert Reply:
When choosing the proper regulator for your applications, you want to find the closest you can get to your max btu usage. For your application, I recommend # 37207-30335 which has a 175,000 btu/hr rating. Check out the video linked below for more details.
For your concerns about pressure drop, I contacted MB Sturgis to see if they had any solutions. They stated that if you are losing pressure over that distance, your best option is to use the shortest hose length possible to reach your accessories.
