Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU Propane Blue Flame Vent Free Heater, VF30KBLUELP: Does this need a regulator to operate?

Yes, it does require a regulator. Amazon has them for sale here: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-F273763-Propane-Regulator/dp/B000KI7FPK but you might be able to find one cheaper elsewhere (tractor/farm supply store). From the installation manual: WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator. Use of floor mounting feet will require you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection. CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the Propane supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and Propane/LP supply. The installer must supply an external regulator.

The regulator on the hose is set for the unit. I just hook it to the tank and turn it on.

This 10,000 BTU Mr Heater has no thermostat. you can adjust the flame level, and that works pretty good.The Bigger size Mr Heater (30,000 BTU) does have a thermostat and works great.

I loaned my small Mr. Heater to someone for the entire winter last year, with this hose. No regulator or filter used, & he said it worked great in his small apt. I have another small one I use occasionally with cylinders, and a Big Buddy upstairs... it has a shorter hose, going to a large tank under a table. No regulator or filter there, either. Supplemented with a couple of (off-brand) infrared quartz heaters, my whole house stays pretty warm with "zone heating" & have stopped using my furnace except during extended subzero temps!

Sounds like you have your answer. I have mine heating a hot tub. Water pressure is a key item but if your regulator is not working properly it will do the same.

Yes, you can adjust the regulator to 30psi. Problem is, it is a small tank, so the pressure drops fairly quickly. If operating under 30psi is not an issue, then this will do the job. If you need a constant 30psi, then you may want something else. Hope this helps.

It comes with both the hose and regulator. All you do is furnish the tank and it's ready to go. Best BBQ I've cooked with in over 50 years!!!

Sorry, I can't help you. I use nat. gas. I also returned it for an infered heater. Blue flame is a bit dangerous to keep on in my garage.

I purchased a Marina C10 compact 10 watt heater with this tank and the heater is self regulating. I keep an eye on it and it works perfectly so far!

I can't say for sure I'm not familiar with that stove but what I can see in pictures is that the regulator is at the propane tank which means that the LP gas is hitting the knobs. This means that you should be able to use the hose with the proper brass fittings but I did lots of reading and looking before I went this route with our BBQ and trailer quick connect. The quick connect fittings on our trailer are made by Fairview and I was able to get brass fittings from a local pump shop that sold pressure washers. Hope this helps.Mike

Frank , No regulator is required , and No filter is required if you use that hose. Hose is made of a compound that won't leach oil , so no filter is required. Just buy hose and connect it. No special fitting are needed.

Not sure of your question? I've used both large tank LP and small green tank LP. Regulator allows for low flame or higher flame. We totally enjoy ours and would buy another if the need should arise. Hope this helps.

There is a control knob on the side to shut off/turn on/regulate flame. There are screws to open up to turn off the propane valve if you want to do that but you do NOT need a screwdriver to do it. It is pretty easy to do. We are happy.

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with-out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

I am not 100% sure. I received the regulator from Amazon. It had a rubber ring/seal inside the screw cap, which prevented me from attaching the regulator to the propane bottle. When I removed the seal, the regulator worked perfectly. Hope that helps.

It comes with a 30 psi adjustable regulator and hose. It is ready to go except for the propane.
