Brilio.net - Using a gas regulator in the kitchen is an important step to ensure a safe and efficient gas supply to the stove. However, it is not uncommon for users to face challenges when installing this regulator. One common problem that often occurs is installing the regulator correctly on the gas cylinder.
In addition, another challenge that often arises is that the regulator is easily detached from the gas cylinder . This can be very dangerous because gas can leak from loose connections, potentially causing a risk of fire or explosion. Therefore, ensuring that the regulator is installed firmly and securely is very crucial.
Solving this problem requires a good understanding of how the regulator and gas cylinder work, as well as regular maintenance to ensure all components are functioning properly. However, if the regulator is already loose, you should immediately check the source of the problem. Instead of immediately replacing the new regulator, you can fix it yourself like the technique used by TikTok user @neng.store1.

As reported by BrilioFood on Monday (2/12), TikTok user @ neng.store1 immediately dismantled his regulator. He claimed that the regulator lock was still there and functioning. However, after dismantling it, it turned out that the lever inside the regulator was not precisely in place.

Well, how to fix it, just install this pour in the right position. If it can be reinstalled precisely, it means the regulator can be reassembled. However, if it cannot be precisely in place, then you have to replace the lever with another regulator or even buy a new regulator.

In the video, TikTok user @neng.store1 reinstalls the lever precisely in its position. Well, after the position is corrected, then the lever is reinstalled on the regulator. After installing the pour, lock it using its default pressure.

The last step, also install the key from the regulator. That way, the regulator can be reinstalled on the gas cylinder. Shortly after being installed, the regulator needle immediately rises. This indicates that the gas from the cylinder has entered and flowed into the hose through the regulator.
Ensuring that the gas regulator is tightly and securely installed on the gas cylinder is very important so that the cooking process can run smoothly and safely. In addition to ensuring that the regulator components are still working properly, you can also ensure that the gas cylinder and regulator are clean and dry. This is because dirt or moisture can interfere with the connection, so it is important to wipe the top of the cylinder and regulator before installing.
Next, check the rubber seal or O-ring on the regulator. Make sure this rubber is in good condition, not worn or cracked, because damaged rubber can cause gas leaks. If the rubber seal looks damaged, replace it immediately before installing the regulator. When installing, make sure the regulator is in the right position above the gas cylinder valve, then press the regulator down firmly while turning the locking lever or fastening nut clockwise until tight.
Once installed, check that the regulator is properly locked by trying to move it slightly. A tightly installed regulator will not move or wobble easily.
To ensure there are no gas leaks, apply soapy water to the regulator connection and the cylinder valve. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure. By following these steps, you can ensure that the gas regulator is tightly installed, reduce the risk of leaks, and maintain safety when using a gas stove.
