Gas Stop Regulator
Type SOGS38 / SOGSPOL (MD-LGS)
With Integrated Medium Pressure Regulator according to DIN 4811-3
According to VBG D34, Gas Stop regulators are
classified as safety devices. The regulator
protects the integrity of the system in the event
of leakage or damage to the hose and/or its
connections up to the place where connection is
made to the consuming device.
Safety functions of the Gas Stop regulator:
•Leak test of the Gas Stop hose before start
up of the gas system
By pressing the safety button, testing for leaks
of the Gas Stop hose and its connectors, is
started
•Testing the Gas Stop hose for leaks during
operation
During operation of the gas system (also during
short interruptions from work), the monitoring
function of the Gas Stop regulator checks the
Gas Stop hose and its connectors for leaks. If
there is the smallest leak, the gas flow is
reliably cut off
•Protection from damaged Gas Stop hose
If a Gas Stop hose is severely damaged, e.g.
broken, the membrane controlled shut-off
function of the Gas Stop regulator automatically
prevents any continuation of the gas flow,
similar to a hose breakage safety device.
DESIGN
The Gas Stop system is a mechanism which cuts off gas supply in the presence of even minute Gas
Stop hose damages (leak gas quantities). It consists of the actual Gas Stop regulator comprising
monitoring, control and cut-off functions, together with a Gas Stop hose and the respective connectors.
The leak gas safety function works independently of the pressure controller of an intermediate pressure
grade and cuts off the flow of gas to the consuming device in the presence of any leak in the connected
Gas Stop hose and/or its connectors.

Assembly and Operating Manual
Version: AUS 12.12
The set working pressure of the pressure regulator is also the control pressure for the leak gas safety
function. By pressing the push button, the regulator is connected to the monitoring chamber of the Gas
Stop hose through a valve and the hose is filled with gas. The control opens the cut-off mechanism and
releases the gas flow.
In the case of any leak of the Gas Stop hose and/or its connectors, however small, the pressure within
the monitoring device falls. The control activates the trigger of the cut-off mechanism within the Gas
Stop regulator. This prevents any continued flow of gas and thus the release of gas to atmosphere. The
gas system can only be recommissioned after the leak of the Gas Stop hose and/or its connectors has
been repaired.
It should be noted that with the standard 2, 4 or 6 metre Gas Stop hose a maximum flow rate of 7 kg/h
can be achieved. Up to 14 kg/h can be achieved by the use of a different model Gas Stop and hose.
When selecting equipment, the permanent pressure loss of the connected Gas Stop hose must be taken
into consideration.
The Gas Stop regulator provides no protection for the connections located before and after the
Gas Stop hose and its connectors.

SSEMBLY
•The integrity of the system relies upon all of the equipment in the system being free from defect.
Please ensure that all of the equipment to be installed is not visually damaged in any way.
•Check the connections for metal chips or other impurities as this may affect the ability of the system
to seal. This is especially true for the conical nipples of the Gas Stop hose and the outlet of the Gas
Stop regulator.
•Ensure that the Gas Stop hose is free from tension (no bending stress or torsion)
•In tightening the connections use only the appropriately sized open ended spanner
A
fter tightening the union nuts, the Gas Stop hose must not be twisted in any way as
this may cause the connections to loosen, creating a leak in the system.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON INSTALLATION
For safety reasons, only trained personnel may install and use this system. The following steps must be
performed in the order specified below:
1. Connect any adaptors to the Gas Stop hose and tighten
2. Attach the Gas Stop hose to the Gas Stop regulator
3. Connect the consuming device to the Gas Stop hose or adaptor (if fitted)
The Gas Stop hose connection need only be tightened by hand due to the o ring seals, however it is
recommended that the connection be further tightened to prevent any unintended loosening of the
connections. High torques are not required! (Nut M22x1.5 = SW 27)
LEAK TEST Do not use open flames to check for leaks!
Before startup, check the connection between the gas cylinder and Gas Stop regulator for leaks, by:
1. Opening the cylinder valve
2. Checking the connection for leaks by means of a leak detector spray or suitable foaming agent
3. The leak check is considered to be successfully completed ONLY if the result is ‘No Leaks’
START UP
•Close the control valve on the equipment and open the cylinder valve
•Adjust the pressure adjustment screw (1) to the required pressure
•Press the push button (2) to fill the outer chamber of the Gas Stop hose
Note: The length of time that the button must be depressed depends on
the length of the hose (approximately 5 seconds per 2 metres)
•All connections installed downstream of the Gas Stop hose should now be
tested for leaks using leak detector spray or suitable foaming agent
•The system is now ready for use
•Use an approved ignition source (Do NOT use a cigarette lighter)
IMPORTANT NOTES ON START UP
After lighting, if the flame is not as desired, adjust the Gas Stop regulator using
the pressure adjustment screw (1). At this point, the push button (2) MUST be
depressed as per the instructions above to reset the pressure in the outer
chamber of the Gas Stop hose to the new operating pressure.
OPERATION
All Australian/New Zealand Rules and Regulations concerning the use of LpG and equipment
MUST be adhered to. It is recommended that the connections be tested for leaks at regular
intervals. Close down the system IMMEDIATELY if you can smell gas, or if there is a leak or
system malfunction and replace the faulty components. Do not move the gas cylinder during operation.
SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM
Once the system has been turned off, turn the cylinder valve off and in a safe area, open the control
valve on the equipment and press the push button (2) to release the gas in the Gas Stop hose.
REPAIR
If the system does not function as outlined in this Assembly and Operation Manual, please contact your
supplier for further instruction. Any unauthorised repair of the system or its components will result in the
loss of qualification for repair under warranty.
