ABSTRACT:
An ice preventing device for use with an outside gas pressure regulator that has a pressure vent and a downwardly opening vent tube. The device includes a skirt connected to and surrounding the vent tube. The upper end of the skirt has an opening that communicates with the passage in the vent tube. The skirt also has an enlarged, flared-out lower end with an opening substantially greater than the area of the opening at the upper end. Located within the skirt is a baffle positioned in a generally horizontal plane. The baffle is positioned below the vent tube opening of the pressure regulator to prevent rain or freezing rain from splashing back upwardly into the passage. The sides of the baffle are spaced from the interior walls of the skirt to accommodate gas flow around the baffle,
