Clean Room Panel-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With:
Relieving: Air, Nitrogen
Nonrelieving: Air, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen - Temperature Range: 32° to 140° F
Maintain contaminant-free standards in clean room environments. These valves come cleaned and bagged to Fed. Spec. Class 100 and ISO Class 5 clean room standards and have a 316 stainless steel body with a smooth finish to resist dust collection. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable output pressure. Valves have threads below the adjustment knob and come with a panel-mount nut. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range.
Gauge ports let you attach a pressure gauge.
Nonrelieving valves do not exhaust excess downstream pressure.

Tank-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With: See Table
- Temperature Range: -20° to 120° F
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.
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.

Easy-Read Tank-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves with Flowmeter for Inert Gas
Flowmeters let you see the gas flow rate from a distance. 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. They have a gauge for monitoring inlet pressure from the tank.

Tank-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves with Flowmeter for Inert Gas
- For Use With: See Table
- Temperature Range: -20° to 120° F
Commonly used in TIG welding where gas flow/coverage is a concern, these valves measure the gas flow rate in addition to regulating pressure. 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. Valves have a gauge to monitor the outlet flow rate and a second 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.

High-Purity Tank-Mount Pressure-Regulating Valves for Inert Gas
- For Use With: See Table
- Temperature Range: -20° to 120° F
Reduce contaminants in research sample systems, emission monitoring systems, chromatography, and other high-purity applications that use argon, helium, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide. These valves have a 316 stainless steel and brass body with a smooth finish to reduce dust collection and internal components designed to protect the seal and diaphragm from contamination. 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.
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.
Chrome-plated valves add a layer of corrosion resistance.

- For Use With: Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Helium, Hydrogen, Methane, Nitrogen, Oxygen
- Specifications Met: ASME BPVC.VIII
- Temperature Range: -320° to 150° F
These valves meet ASME Code Section VIII for use with cryogenic pressure vessels. Rated for use with argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and oxygen, they are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. All spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Attach a drain line to the threaded relief port for remote discharge.

Pressure-Relief Valves for Cryogenic Applications
- For Use With: Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Temperature Range: -320° to 165° F
Cleaned and bagged to meet CGA G-4.1 for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves are built to withstand the extreme cold of liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They begin opening at the set pressure and fully open at about 10% over the set pressure. Valves begin closing as pressure drops and fully close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Set pressure is not adjustable.
Valves are not intended for direct contact with cryogenic liquids. Risers (sold separately) are required to convert cryogenic liquids into gases before they contact the valve. 3/8 NPT valve requires a 1/2 NPT × 3/8 NPT bushing when using a riser.
Adapters (sold separately) convert the valve relief-port connection from UNEF female threads to NPT female threads.
