Winntec 6020 propane regulator

[pbitschura]

We are still learning the new systems. The indicator light at the front of the valve shows no color, red/green. I move the switch between tanks and it displays nothing. I read that this valve had a recall in 2021. Out unit is a 2020 likely built earlier. Is there a way check if it's working? Other than convenience, is there a problem with continuing it's use?

Is this a recall?

I recommend a Cavagna replacement.

Grew up with propane and that type of indicator/regulator Have seen several variations on the design of the indicator and a couple on the changeover valve.

To find out.. Turn on both tanks then turn off the valve on the SELECTED tank with a burner on the stove lit heating water for tea.... IT should swiftly go red..

Have someone monitor the stove to insure it does not go out.
(IF it does shut it off before re-opening tank valve)

Great suggestion. I love the wisdom here.
