Tank-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves for Fuel Gases
- For Use With: See Table
- Temperature Range: -20° to 120° F
Attach these valves to acetylene, hydrogen, methane, propane, or propylene tanks to reduce a high inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. They 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 come with 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.
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.
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.
Valves with a brass body have a longer service life than valves with a brass and steel body.
Valves with a stainless steel diaphragm can withstand harsh environments.

Pressure-Regulating Valves for Fuel Gases
- For Use With: See Table
- Temperature Range: See Table
Install these valves directly in gas distribution pipelines for acetylene, hydrogen, or propane. They automatically reduce a high inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Valves have two outlets to fit various pipe configurations and come with a plug to close the unused outlet. The gauge monitors outlet pressure. All valves are single stage and reduce pressure in one step, which causes the outlet pressure to fluctuate.
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.

Welding Gas Flashback Arresters for Regulators
Attach these arresters to the outlet connection of a regulator on a torch that cuts steel up to 11" thick. Arresters extinguish flames and have a check valve to stop reverse gas flow. They are reusable; resetting is not required after flashback.
Arresters with right-hand threads are for use with oxygen. Arresters with left-hand threads are for use with acetylene, hydrogen, and propane.
High-flow arresters give you twice the airflow rate compared to standard flashback arresters when they’re used at the same inlet pressure. They are often used with larger torch tips.
Quick-disconnect arresters have a fitting that connects and disconnects them from your torch, so you don't have to thread these arresters on and off with a wrench.
