J48 Gas Regulator / Honeywell Elster / DMS Metering Solutions


At DMS Metering Solutions, we supply a wide range of gas regulators to suit domestic, commercial, and light industrial applications. 

Among these, the Honeywell / Elster J48 Gas Regulator is one of the most trusted models on the market, offering dependable performance, straightforward installation, and proven safety.

 

Why Gas Regulators Are Essential

A gas regulator’s job is simple but critical: to reduce the incoming supply pressure down to a safe, usable level for downstream appliances and equipment. In practice, this means:

  • Stabilising      pressure when the inlet fluctuates

  • Ensuring      safety by preventing over-pressure downstream

  • Supporting      efficiency with consistent, predictable appliance performance

  • Maintaining      compliance with gas safety standards
