Finding a space for another tong to have a fullproof solution or just a gauge check.

It is up to you, how you weight the seriousness.

I bought mine from Ace hardware, suspected this "Sirim" quality check is bullsh!t, bought twice and these regulator feels lousy, once the locking mechanism came apart and causes gas leaked, faster remove it. Bought another one but can hear gas hissing sound when securing onto gas tank.

Think I better get one from Singapore when I make a trip there. Don't want my unit to blow up because of these crappy quality regulator.

Get those have brand like Milux.

It is too cheap for this regulator and quality are crap now.

Any idea where can I can Milux regulator? I go MidValley weekly, they have it there?

Look here

Actually Milux can be crappy too. I bought one Milux before. After fixing it to the tong I could hear slight hiasing sound from the regulator even when the stove is off. Took it to the shop to exchange. Changed with Chestar instead. Working till today.

Damn...we are sitting on a time bomb. This kind of hazardous stuff really need good quality assurance, "Sirim" stickers is just for show. No wonder there's several tank explosion cases last year.

Use soap to check the leakage after lock the regulator. Do not use if any bubble come out.

As I said, the regulator price now are too cheap. Back to more than a decade, it cost rm30 more if not mistaken.

SIRIM doesn't test all the units. They only test a few in the batch so there will be some bad ones getting into the market. This is the fault of the manufacturers' qc dept

Guy, mind to share where can get Milux or Chestar product in bukit tinggi area?? Or klang valley.

Thanks.

I just bought a Chelstar gas regulator from ACE hardware Sunway Pyramid.

Thanks for the head up, I have bought it few month back in HLK.

Pardon me for bumping old thread. Ok, so far I've tried Chelstar, guess what? The locking mechanism/lever came apart, so much for safety.
Bought a new brand "KHIND", just popped to the new tank last week, very soft hissing sound, applied soapy water and indeed, there's minor leaking, can see small bubble getting inflated.
Gonna leave it as it is for now. Have tried at least 4-5 brands, all failed in terms of safety aspect. I'll try to look out for Milux.

While browsing around, came across this Clesse Comap regulator. Was impressed with the gas leak safety feature. Already placed my order, will give review after using it.

Is it this model?

Using this model for 6 months now. Specs found here. CLeese UK has models that can switch from an empty gas tank to another called an automatic changeover but these are for industrial or caravan park. There's a domestic model but either butane or propane but the tank fitment is meant for larger cylinders typically found in hotels or restaurants.

The lever on the Comet (Comap) need to be careful to know how to operate but otherwise it's good.

So bad the quality now.

This gas regulator should have straight quality control. This device handling the gas which is fire and explosion.

I bought milux brand, it spoiled after 2 months, gas leaked from regulator. Bad luck I guess.

Not bad luck. But bad quality.

This device production like China quality already.
