Gas Regulator Spare Part - Available GR-9994XF


Recommended Posts

I recently had my original gas regulator die on Hull 505.  
I wasn't paying close attention when I ordered the replacement and ended up ordering one with a lower BTU Rating.

The original Hull 505 part -  GR-9984XF with 345,000 BTU from the Main Service Cylinder is what I should have ordered.
The replacement part       - GR-9994XF has 262,500 BTU from the Main Service Cylinder is what I have now sitting in a box.

Since I learned of my error, I've ordered the original part and left the other new in the original box.
I can't return it as the time's expired for exchange.

Net Result:  I have a NEW in Box GR-9994XF sitting in my garage.

I'm wondering if the GR-9994XF would work as a spare for those of you with newer trailers that no longer have the Gas Fridge?

If you're interested in the unit...send me a private message and we can work out details.

Craig:

Don't know which furnace and stove you have, but if you check their BTU input ratings you could find the answer.    If the actual required loads are less than the rated load, you're golden.  Here is all the Suburban models that are in my 2018 hull 342 furnace O&M manual:

I suspect as you are way under the rated load, you will be fine.  But do add up all your gas usages (BBQ, Stove, etc.) just to be sure.

Thanks for the tip on summing up all propane users for the trailer and comparing to the max BTU output from the regulator.

 

Here's what I found out about my Hull 505 Propane Users:

Propane draws

Norcold N412.3FUI:          1,200  BTU/HR.  *From Fridge Service Manual*

Suburban Furnace:         18,000 BTU/HR.  *Printed on Side of Furnace*

Truma Waterheater:       60,000 BTU/HR. * Printed on Side of Water Heater*

Outland Fire Bowl :         58,000 BTU/HR.  *From Specs on Outland Website*

Dometic Cooktop :            9,600 BTU/HR. * From Domestic Website*

Sum of ALL:                    146,800 BTU/HR

Other BBQ’s etc:                 TBD


So it appears the smaller 262,000 BTU regulator will work just fine and can feed all those things running at the same time...and I shouldn't worry about upgrading to the larger 345K BTU  regulator that was originally on the unit.

I still have one in the box if anyone needs it.

I’m wondering  if it’s worth carrying a spare.   It’s on my long list of potential spare parts that I don’t have, that could really mess up a nice camping trip.  Are they easy to find on the road, Camping World etc?   Do many of you carry a spare, or don’t bother?

A spare is always a good thing. I plan on bumping up to a little larger LP regulator like @GraniteStaters mentioned in another post.  This is to avoid having any issues with running other LP appliances while running the generator. I will keep the old as a spare. They are easily found on Amazon or other vendors with a quick google search.

Wrote an updated BLOG post on this after posting:

 

https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/whats-that-humming-sound

 

In it I give part numbers for the two regulators that can be used.

The original factory 345,000 BTU/BR regulator data sheet (top half)  is here as reference.

Yes, I did for many years.  Then needed it.  Don't now.  🙂

We don't carry a spare. They're available in SO many places.

But, as I've said before, we may just enjoy the lighter load, and "living on the edge."

Our spare parts kit is probably laughable to many. Some fuses, a few switches, a bit of pex, a few bits of wire, electrical tape, some led bulbs. A bearing kit. Duct tape, of course. A very small tool kit. 

Yes, we've had a few inconvenient failures over the years, but we've also learned that we can survive without a ton of everything with us. And, we probably wouldn't have had the board or component with us, anyway. 

Spare tires, plugs, fix a flat, tire pump will get us back on the road. Cell phone. And, most importantly,  credit card, towing insurance,  and a good attitude.

Well, as I'm using my trailer more now, and my regulator is likely original (2016), it's likely time for it to fail.  

Since I've used eTrailer before, I just went with them.  Slow web pages, but reliable parts in my experience.

Thanks @Galway Girl (Craig) and everyone for the detail info.  I think I've seen more yellow flames on the stove lately.  Will monitor it.

@Galway Girl I see you have some sort of red lock-down screw thingy protecting your propane tanks.  Do you have more info on that?  

Or anyone else have a thread already going in the forums on protecting propane tanks?

Thanks again!

You completely cheated when knowing what to search for. You participated a lot in that thread. Oh sure, everything is easy if you have the answer. LoL 😂

Caution flag Wayfinder, no cheating here, just suggesting you use of the search function as many mod topics on the forum have been discussed in ad nauseam.

yeah, you're right, but I don't get along well with this forum's search function.  I should have used Google at least.  I was lazy!  There!
