To what pressure is the first stage of a two-stage regulator designed to reduce propane pressure?

5-7 psi
10-12 psi
15-18 psi
20-22 psi

The correct answer is: 10-12 psi

The first stage of a two-stage propane regulator is specifically designed to reduce high-pressure propane from the tank to a lower level suitable for use in appliances. The typical pressure reduction for the first stage generally falls within the range of 10-12 psi. This pressure is ideal as it allows the second stage to further regulate the pressure down to the low-pressure settings required by most propane appliances. This two-stage process ensures that pressure fluctuations are minimized and maintains a consistent flow of propane gas, enhancing safety and efficiency. Understanding this range is crucial for RV technicians as it helps ensure that propane systems operate correctly and reduces the risk of accidents or inefficiencies that may arise from incorrect pressure settings.
