The new EN 1949 and EN 12864 have been in force since 01.01.2003. Therefore, only pressure regulators of the new standard with 30 mbar may be used on new vehicles and newly registered vehicles. Newly registered vehicles may only be equipped with 30 mbar operating pressure. The change of the operating pressure to 30 mbar takes place in the course of the EC harmonization. That is: 30 mbar for new vehicles, 30 mbar or 50 mbar for vehicles older than 01.01.2003.

Tip: To calculate the appropriate pressure regulator: according to the standard, the flow of the regulator must be so large that when operating all consumers at the same time, the flow rate of the regulator is greater than the consumption. Example: 2-burner stove 232 g/h, heater E2400 200 g/h, boiler 120 g/h = consumption: 552 g/h >regulator with 0.8 kg/h flow rate.
