The gas pressure regulator from PELMOS made a very good impression in the test. The product makes it easy to regulate the gas flow so that exactly the right amount of gas is released for barbecuing or other activities. The contents of the package consist of a gas flow valve, which is connected to the regulator outlet of the gas cylinder. The gas pressure regulator has a 90° angle, which makes it easier to connect higher gas connections in particular.
The product is also made of high-quality brass, which means that it can be expected to have a long service life.
It is installed by screwing the thread into the respective regulator outlet on the gas cylinder, meaning that it can be used for most gas pressure regulators sold in Germany.
In addition, there are no unpolished edges or processing defects on the product.
Advantages
✅Easy to install
✅high-quality material
✅family-run German company
Disadvantages
❌Unfortunately no telephone customer hotline
The first impression
Packaging and labeling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Article was packed compactly – but plastic packaging was used | 75 points |
| Product labeling | Markings available | 100 points |

*The maximum score is 100 points
The gas pressure regulator from PELMOS arrived for our test in the typical shipping box, so it was easy to open by removing the adhesive strip and was delivered undamaged.
The box contained the gas pressure regulator and the warning and usage instructions printed on the packaging.
Unfortunately, plastic was used in the packaging of the gas pressure regulator, but the product was fully protected in this case and was therefore in perfect condition. For this reason, the packaging is not completely recyclable.
The first impression is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging used was damaged.
After unpacking
Package contents and instructions
ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents & scope | Gas pressure regulator + warning notices + instructions for use | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | All necessary information for use given – but no photos/pictograms for easy description | 90 points |

| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After unpacking, there were two items on the kitchen table: the gas pressure regulator and the packaging with the instructions for use printed on it.
Although the instructions for use are quite brief, they are easy to understand due to the intuitive use of the regulator.
Installation and use went without a hitch.
Unfortunately, we were unable to find a telephone number on the packaging or in the instructions for use.
All in all, however, this is a very good way to send a product.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The gas pressure regulator from PELMOS makes a very good visual impression in the test. In addition to its simple design, it has no manufacturing defects. The gas pressure regulator is made of high-quality brass and can therefore be installed on the respective gas cylinder without any problems.
The product impresses with its good weight and sturdy workmanship. The customer is supplied with a high-quality gas pressure regulator that can provide good service.
Unfortunately, there is no information about sustainability on the Amazon product page or on the packaging. Due to the high-quality materials used, we assume a long service life.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Easy installation, even by a layperson, as it is very intuitive | 100 points |
| Optics/ Design | Simple design and beautiful look | 100 points |
| Possible applications | Can be used with any German gas cylinder | 100 points |
| Total | 100 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
We enjoyed using the PELMOSgas pressure regulator during the test. Installation is child’s play and can be carried out by anyone who is not a handyman.
As the gas pressure regulator is a solid color, the customer can use the adapter on almost any German gas cylinder that has the appropriate thread.
This allows the customer to set their gas system precisely and can also adjust the device’s internal regulators.
It is important that the gas pressure regulator is fitted after the pressure reducer, otherwise the purpose of the gas pressure regulator will be defeated.
All in all, using the gas pressure regulator was child’s play and it was very easy to adjust the pressure using the rotary knob.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good price-performance ratio | 95 points |
| Rating cut | 4.3 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 65 points |
| Total | 80 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.3 stars. One criticism is that the full gas pressure can only be reached if the regulator is removed again, as it slightly slows down the gas supply even when open. Many customers like the fact that it is very easy to use and regulate the gas volume and that the pressure regulator is very simple to operate for this purpose. We were also able to confirm these points in our practical test.
Prices of up to €27.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €10.00. The gas pressure regulator from PELMOS is therefore in the lower price segment in our test with a price of €10.97. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
