Does this unit have a built in regulator or does it need an external regulator. Thanks

Built in. Don't think there are many alternators on the market without regulator unless you're actually looking for one to do a restoration

It needs a 12v external power source to work. It doesn't have internal batteries.

No, this Shurflo has a regulator built into it. Mine tops out around 40 psi. You do not need an addition regulator on your system unless you want less flow somewhere.

Usually there will be a regulator on your natural gas meter on the side of your house or at your propane tank outside your home depending on which type of a gas you are using. So yes it does need a regulator , but if your house is running propane or natural gas it already has a regulator in place. I installed my eccotemp FVI-12-LP to a 20lb propane tank using a regulator from a propane shop rated for the water heater btu . Also you can't use those plastic handled hoses that you see on BBQ or rv tank connections because they contain a check valve that will cut the flow of gas to your heater when you fire it up. The check valve thinks there is a gas leak because of the high demand of the water heater, its a safety feature for bbqs. Hope that helps.

Yes it comes with the regulator. If you want to use the 20 lb propane tank, you will need a longer fuel line and plugs to the included regulator as well.

No regulator. You control the gas flow with the knob. I love mine. It is super easy to use.

Yes, it comes with an external 90 Watt power supply. It is efficient and silent.

The unit does have an external power supply. Unit works well, no complaints here.

this is not a battery operated unit. It must be plugged in to an outlet or extension cord. It really puts out the air, however, and the 3 nozzles are adaptable to many blow up inputs.

There is a regulator on the unit. I called up Atwood to ask if something addt'l was needed & they said no. My motor home has a regulator on its propane system as well.

Regulator is included as shown in pic. I used mine on a charbroil grill commercial series, worked fine.

This heater requires an external regulator (notsupplied). Install the external regulator between the heaterand Propane/LP supply.The installer must supply an external regulator.

No, I did not need a regulator or filter. The only reason I purchased this hose was because I was using a separate 20 lb. tank. If you use the little camping sized propane tanks, you don't need the hose.

The built in pressure regulator is set for between 135 and 150 psi. It is not adjustable.

The unit comes with the sensor only (with wires) . You will need to wire the 110V conection and the output. I used it to control an external relay to prevent damage to the internal one (can handle 10A max)

Mine did not. I had to go online for information about the unit. Good luck.

The unit is battery operated. The one I received did not include a battery.
