About Gas Regulators

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

With Knob

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.

Nuts for High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas

Slide a high-pressure hose nipple for compressed gas into one of these nuts to connect a pipe to the inlet of a pressure regulator. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts and inlet nuts.

Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 316 stainless steel nuts, so they're easier to thread together. Chrome-plated brass nuts have comparable corrosion and wear resistance to aluminum-plated brass nuts, and have a bright, shiny appearance.

Nuts with a plastic grip can be tightened by hand instead of with a wrench.

Nuts with left-hand threads are identified with a notch.

Note: Nuts have a CGA, BS, or DIN number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same number as your tank and other system components.

High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas

Commonly used in high-pressure welding applications, these nipples connect your tank to the inlet of a pressure regulator. One side has a threaded pipe end and the other side has a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut (sold separately) so you can make a threaded connection.

Brass nipples have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 316 stainless steel nipples, so they're easier to thread together. Chrome-plated brass nipples have better corrosion and wear resistance than unplated brass nipples and have a bright, shiny appearance.

Nipples that tighten by hand should be paired with a nut with a plastic grip.

Nuts for Barbed Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas

Also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts, these are designed for low-pressure welding applications downstream of your tank and pressure regulator. Slide a barbed hose adapter for compressed gas into a male or female nut to make a threaded connection to torches or pressure regulators.

Nuts with left-hand threads are identified with a notch.

Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance. Note: Nuts have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Barbed Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas

Commonly used in low-pressure welding applications, these fittings connect downstream of your tank and pressure regulator. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a crimp-on hose ferrule. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Adapters let you adapt to a threaded end so you can connect welding hose to torches or pressure regulators. They consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a threaded CGA nut (sold separately) so you can make a threaded hose connection. Adapters with a spiral barbed end twist into hose for an easier installation than adapters with a standard barb.

Hose Crimping Tool and Fitting Sets for Compressed Gas

Sets contain a crimping tool and a variety of fittings, nuts, and ferrules so you can connect pressure regulators, torches, and other components of your welding system. Fittings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Barbed adapters let you adapt to a threaded end so you can connect welding hose to pressure regulators or torches. They consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut so you can make a threaded hose connection.

Barbed connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose. Slide the barbed end into welding hose and use a hose ferrule and the crimping tool to secure the fitting to hose.

Threaded connectors let you attach threaded welding hose to pressure regulators and torches.

Fittings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.

Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Compressed Gas

Use these couplings to quickly link and unlink welding hoses, torches, and pressure regulators. They consist of a plug and socket that are sold together as a set of two—you’ll get one right-hand connection for oxygen and one left-hand connection for fuel gas. The connections are noninterchangeable and color coded so you can’t mix lines. The male threaded ends attach to threaded welding hose, and the female threaded ends attach to a torch or pressure regulator. To connect couplings, push the plug into the socket; the sleeve on the socket has a spring-loaded lock for gas-tight connections. To disconnect, pull back on the socket sleeve and twist to release the plug. The sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated so gas won’t leak from the line. The sockets also have a built-in check valve to prevent gas backflow. Couplings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) couplings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Couplings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.

Note: Couplings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Make sure the CGA number of the coupling matches the CGA number of your tank and other system components.
