Low pressure regulators

Low pressure regulators

SWISS optio pipeline regulator

The pipeline regulator at a glance:

  • high flow rate
  • or inlet pressure up to 50 bar
  • with working pressure range up to 1.5, 6, 10, 20 or 40 bar available
  • for installation in flow direction from the right or from the left
  • the application is mainly intended for central gas supply systems in hospitals and clinics

The field of application of the medical pipeline regulator is mainly found in the area of central gas supply systems for medical gases. The pipeline regulator is used either as a supply regulator in a cold vaporizer (liquefied gas tank) line or as a second pressure stage in medical gas supply systems with gas cylinders or racks.

The working pressure of the pipeline regulator can be adjusted up to 1.5, 6, 10, 20 or 40 bar. The adjustment of the pressure is effected with the help of a tool. Once adjusted, the pressure is secured by means of a counter nut to prevent any unintended or unauthorised adjustment of the pressure.

The pipeline regulator is equipped with a working pressure gauge and in the inlet with an integrated sinter filter made of inox wire mesh.

The pipeline regulator has been submitted to an ignition test for oxygen with a supply pressure of 100 bar in accordance to EN ISO 10524-2. CE marking according to Guideline for Medical Products 93/42/EEC.
