Stromquist has been selling Maxitrol regulators for many years, and we are proud to be an authorized distributor for such a great, time-tested company. Maxitrol has been manufacturing high-quality regulators for 65 years, and to honor their 65 year anniversary, they are having a cool contest to find the oldest regulator that is still regulating.

Stromquist and Company handles just about every brand of gas pressure regulator. We stock Maxitrol, Pietro Fiorentini, Itron (Actaris), Sensus, and American Meter. It does not matter what brand gas regulator you are using or if you have a natural gas regulator or a LP Gas pressure regulator they all have one thing in common. If you don’t install the gas regulator correctly it will not work properly.

Gas metering is a big part of what we offer customers. One product that has proven to be very successful is the Honeywell Smart Multivariable (SMV) 
Transmitter. It is an industry leader – there are no others on the market that work as well. It measures the gas pressure & temperature and measures a differential pressure across a primary element. The primary element can be an orifice plate or a Preso Ellipse pitot tube. It creates a differential pressure that we measure and relate to flow (the square root of the pressure drop is proportional to the flow rate). The SMV calculates a corrected flow by accounting for the compressibility of the gas along with the pressure and temperature that exist in the pipe. It is quite an involved calculation that is pre-loaded into the transmitter and set up using a software wizard. Please keep it in mind for gas metering applications – it is an affordable alternative. For under $4000 you can measure big flows accurately with easy installation. Read More
The enemy of all gas pressure regulators is dirt, foreign matter, welding heads, construction debris, and moisture.
Read MoreWhat’s the big deal about vent free gas regulators? What’s the hubbub concerning CSA-Certifications? Why is Stromquist, in the words of Eric Stromquist, “pumped” about Pietro Fiorentini gas regulators?
We are really pumped about Pietro Fiorentini gas regulators. Stromquist & Company has the rights to market this unique CSA certified gas pressure regulator in North America. Our customers that have used this regulator rave about it’s performance and the money they have saved because of not having to run a vent line and because of the higher capacities.
For more information check out the PF ( Pietro Fiorentini) videos on Stromquist TV.

I was talking to a client today on the phone and he said “My PF (Pietro Fioentini) gas regulator is CREEPING!”. No this has nothing to do with the Halloween concept of CREEPY.
In this instance creep is when the boiler shut down, the gas pressure from the inlet side of the regulator continued to bleed (creep) past to the outlet side of the regulator and the lock up feature of the gas regulator was being bypassed increasing the down stream pressure in the gas line.
The lockup feature of this regulator when working correctly will close off the regulator if the set outlet pressure (as determined by the outlet spring) is surpassed.
To keep this from happening and to avoid product returns first try these two in the field fixes.
#1. When installing a new regulator especially new piped installations the use of an inlet strainer or a gas filter will trap any GARBAGE in the line that may cause the seat of the regulator to get hung up not allowing the regulator to close off correctly. Look through the inlet side of the regulator for any trash in the regulator and clean it out.
#2. Open the cap to the outlet adjusting spring and re-seat the spring. If the spring is not seated properly the regulator lock up feature will not work properly.
Easy fixes to a REAL problem. Call your Stromquist Representative for ALL your gas regulator needs.
This video shows you how to save big on gas pressure regulator installations using the CSA approved Pietro Fiorentini Governor regulator for ventless applications up to 4″.

Stromquist has added a new line of gas regulators to our already extensive offering. The Pietro Fiorentini Governor gas regulators are ideal for all burner installations and low pressure gas distribution systems. They feature a double diaphragm for added security and an integral vent limiter that eliminates the need for costly piping for indoor installations. All Governor regulators are equipped with a balanced valve design for high outlet pressure accuracy regardless of any inlet pressure variation. These reliable, high performance regulators provide a great quality at a very economical price.
