– The DuoControl is a safety gas pressure regulator with automatic 

changeover for connecting to two gas cylinders for caravans and mo-
tor homes. The gas pressure regulator ensures a uniform output pres-
sure of 30 mbar with a permissible inlet pressure range of 0.7 – 16 bar. 

The DuoControl gas pressure regulator is a single-stage gas pressure 
regulator. If the gas pressure regulator is not working properly, for 
example due to dirt or other foreign material on the valve, the safety 
valve opens and blows off to a pressure of 110 mbar.

Using the DuoControl in closed rooms (e.g. at home), on boats or in 
EX Zone 0 (e.g. tankers) is 

prohibited.

 

The national regulations must be observed if there is a possibility of it being 
used in mobile homes. Its use in mobile homes is 

prohibited

 in Germany.

An automatic PRV* safety device integrated in the  DuoControl with 
limited flow protects the connected consumers against impermissibly 
high pressure. As soon as an impermissibly high pressure arises on 
the output side, the PRV opens and blows out the overpressure into 
the air. The PRV closes automatically after the pressure is reduced
