Is There a Replacement Regulator For a GR-616 Regulator
Updated 08/01/2021 | Published 07/30/2021
Question:
My pressure regulator gr-616 leaking at vent hole. cant find another gr 616, will a gr 630 work. If I follow the direction arrow when I install the vent hole will be on top, instead of the bottom of regulator as it is now on the gr 616. Would that be a problem ?

Expert Reply:
The High Pressure RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30325 will work to replace your current GR-616. The problem being that you can not vent a regulator facing up.
The regulator vent allows the regulator to "breathe" during normal operation and functions as a pressure relief opening in an overpressure situation. It should remain free of dirt and debris for the purpose of safety. If the regulator vent becomes blocked or the airflow is restricted for any reason, the regulator may operate incorrectly and present an unsafe situation for gas appliances downstream from the regulator. For this reason, propane regulators must be pointed down.
