Delivering precise oxygen therapy in clinical, home, or emergency settings requires a regulator that combines accuracy, durability, and ease of use. This aluminum-body oxygen regulator features a click-style flow selector with laser-etched flow rates, protected pressure gauge, and compatibility with standard D, E, H, and M oxygen cylinders. Designed for respiratory therapists, caregivers, and medical facilities requiring reliable oxygen delivery, this regulator offers audible click adjustments from 0-8 LPM or 0-15 LPM depending on your workflow needs.
Key Features
-
High-strength lightweight aluminum alloy body with all-brass internal core resists corrosion and withstands repeated cylinder changes
-
Click-style flow selector provides tactile and audible feedback at each LPM setting for accurate adjustments even in low-light conditions
-
Laser-etched flow rate markings eliminate peeling labels and ensure permanent readability throughout the regulator's service life
-
Protected contents gauge with shielded face prevents damage during transport and storage while maintaining clear pressure visibility
-
Ribbed flow selector knob offers improved grip for gloved hands and allows precise flow control in clinical environments
-
Viton rubber yoke seal with brass ring creates leak-resistant connection to cylinder valve and extends seal longevity compared to standard rubber

What's Included
- Oxygen regulator with aluminum body and brass core
- Protected contents gauge
- CGA 870 yoke connection (for standard cylinder valve)
- CGA 540 nut and nipple (threaded connection option)
- Viton rubber yoke seal with brass reinforcement ring

Care Instructions
- Inspect yoke seal before each cylinder installation for cracks, tears, or compression damage; replace if compromised
- Wipe exterior surfaces with damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid petroleum-based cleaners that degrade rubber components
- Store in clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use
- Verify gauge accuracy annually through authorized service center or biomedical equipment technician
- Never apply oil or grease to oxygen fittings, valves, or threads due to combustion risk in oxygen-rich environments
- Crack cylinder valve briefly before attaching regulator to clear dust or debris from valve seat
Warranty Information
The D/E tank 0-8 LPM and H/M tank 0-8 LPM models include a 6-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The D/E tank 0-15 LPM model carries a 3-year warranty. Coverage includes regulator body, gauge mechanism, and flow selector assembly under normal clinical use conditions.
FAQs
Q: What's the difference between CGA 870 and CGA 540 connections?
A: CGA 870 is a yoke-style clamp that fits over the cylinder valve post; CGA 540 is a threaded nut-and-nipple connection. This regulator includes both fittings for flexible compatibility with various oxygen cylinder valve types.
Q: Can I use this regulator with portable oxygen concentrators?
A: No, this regulator is designed exclusively for compressed oxygen cylinders (D, E, H, M sizes). Concentrators use different outlet systems and do not require pressure-reducing regulators.
Q: How do I know when the yoke seal needs replacement?
A: Replace the seal if you detect hissing sounds during operation, see visible cracks or flattening, or notice the gauge reading drops when flow selector is closed. Inspect seal before every cylinder change.
Q: Which flow range should I choose for home oxygen therapy?
A: Select 0-8 LPM for most prescribed home oxygen rates (1-6 LPM typical). Choose 0-15 LPM only if your prescription requires higher flow rates above 8 LPM, common in acute care or specific pulmonary conditions.
Q: What size cylinder requires the H/M tank model versus D/E tank model?
A: D and E are smaller portable cylinders (4.5-24 cubic feet) suitable for ambulation and home use. H and M are large stationary cylinders (6900+ cubic feet) typically used in facilities or home backup systems.
