    Tank-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas

    These valves automatically reduce a high inlet pressure from compressed gas tanks to a lower, stable outlet pressure. All have Compressed Gas Association (CGA) numbered inlet fittings for secure connections to compressed gas tanks. Choose a valve with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components. Valves have a gauge to monitor outlet pressure and a gauge to monitor inlet pressure from the tank.
    Choose a valve with a maximum outlet pressure that’s approximately twice your application’s normal operating pressure. Your operating pressure should never exceed 75% of the valve’s maximum outlet pressure.

    Inlet Single-Stage

    Valves with T-Handle

    Single-stage valves reduce pressure in one step, which causes the outlet pressure to fluctuate slightly as you empty the tank. They’re best for applications where a constant outlet pressure isn’t critical.
    Brass Body—Valves with a brass body have a longer service life than valves with a brass and steel body.

    Female Inlet Two-Stage

    Valves with T-Handle

    Two-stage valves progressively reduce pressure over two steps for more consistent outlet pressure at all times. They’re often used in applications that require a constant outlet pressure regardless of the tank level.
    Brass Body—Valves with a brass body have a longer service life than valves with a brass and steel body.
    Stainless Steel Diaphragm—Valves with a stainless steel diaphragm can withstand harsh environments.

    Tank-Mount High-Pressure-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas

    Often used for pressure-vessel testing and other high-pressure applications, these valves can handle at least seven times the outlet pressure of standard tank-mount pressure-regulating valves. They automatically reduce a high inlet pressure from compressed gas tanks to a lower, stable outlet pressure. All have Compressed Gas Association (CGA) numbered inlet fittings for secure connections to compressed gas tanks. Choose a valve with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components. Outlet fittings are Swagelok® for a leak-free seal around hard metal tubing in high-pressure lines. Also known as instrumentation fittings, Swagelok® fittings are compatible with Parker A-Lok, Gyrolok, Bilok, and Tylok fittings. Valves have a gauge to monitor outlet pressure and a gauge to monitor inlet pressure from the tank. They are single stage and reduce pressure in one step, which causes the outlet pressure to fluctuate slightly as you empty the tank.
    Choose a valve with a maximum outlet pressure that’s approximately twice your application’s normal operating pressure. Your operating pressure should never exceed 75% of the valve’s maximum outlet pressure.
