438 Series Regulator

Five-port, chrome-plated brass barstock, rear-entry point-of-use regulator for ultra-high purity inert gas applications

The 438 Series regulator is intended for secondary pressure control of ultra-high purity inert gases, including non-corrosive and liquefied gases. Unlike most pipeline equipment, the 438 Series regulator is rated to full cylinder pressure, making it ideal for point-of-use pressure control in high purity gas distribution systems. This rear entry regulator is often used on point-of-use panels and laboratory installations. Like almost all CONCOA regulators, the maximum inlet pressure for the 438 Series regulator is at least 3000 PSIG (210 BAR) or greater, depending on system configuration.
