What an LP Gas Flow Limiting Device?
1998, a modified Type one cylinder connection was introduced to RV’s. The main modification was to increase the flow rate allowed through the pigtail to meet the RV’s typically higher BTU demand, but additionally there were two new safety features incorporated. These included a bushing inside the the connection that will melt in a fire to shut of the flow of gas in the event of a fire as well as a flow-limiting device, and its purpose is to restrict the flow of escaping gas if there is an excessive leak in the RVs gas system. If you are having problems with your LP Gas appliances such as no gas flow to system, low gas flow, low or yellow flame at burner, check out the detailed information on my LP Gas Safety Features Web Page.
