BTU and Flame Guide, Gas Pressure Settings, Regulators & Regulator Covers

Actual gas usage is determined by the height of the flame and the gas type.  Smaller Lanterns should have a lower flame adjustment while larger lanterns should be set higher. 

Our smallest lanterns are equiped with a candle flame burner rather than the Fleur de Lis Burner.  See the pictures below. 

We recommend that you do not set your flame higher than 3.5" regardless of the lantern size.  Using the adjustable valve control located near the bottom of the valve, adjust your flame to the desired height. 

Recommended operating pressure: Nat Gas 3.5-5"wc, Propane Gas 4-7"wc.  Most all lanterns can be fitted with a bottom regulator and is highly recommended for propane installations. 

Regulators and covers are available in the options list on the lantern detail page.  We also offer a square copper cover to conceal the regualtor on our flat bottom lantern styles.  

This optional cover can also be used on any of the flat bottom lanterns,  without a regulator,  to cover the normal gas fitting which is exposed on all flat bottom style lanterns.
