Key Benefits and Advantages
-
Accurate and Sensitive Control: The internal spring and diaphragm assembly are engineered for high sensitivity, allowing the regulator to maintain a steady outlet pressure even with small changes in flow demand.
-
Internal Relief Protection: Features a limited-capacity internal relief valve designed to help minimize overpressure. If a high-pressure event occurs, the diaphragm moves off the relief seat to vent excess gas, providing a secondary layer of protection for downstream piping.
-
Weather and Insect Protection: The vent is designed to resist clogging and environmental interference. Standard protective features prevent insects, such as mud daubers, from nesting in the vent, which is a common cause of regulator malfunction in outdoor installations.
-
Simplified Maintenance: With a straightforward mechanical design and few moving parts, the 912 Series is easy to inspect and maintain, ensuring a long and cost-effective service life.
-
UL Listed: Fully tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratory for use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), guaranteeing that the construction meets industry-standard safety and performance metrics.
-
Compact Footprint: Its small physical size makes it an ideal solution for skid-mounted equipment, laboratory gas lines, and portable gas systems.
Technical Properties
-
Operation: Direct-operated and spring-loaded for instantaneous response.
-
Media Compatibility: Optimized for use with LP-Gas (Propane) and can be used in various small-volume air and gas applications.
-
Body Connections: Available in standard 1/4-inch NPT threaded connections.
-
Material Construction: Typically features a durable die-cast aluminum body to provide strength while remaining lightweight.
-
Safety Features: Integrated internal relief for overpressure management.
Field of Application
The 912 Series is the go-to regulator for small-capacity gas systems where high precision is required. It is frequently seen in both domestic utility settings and specialized industrial setups.
Primary Industries and Uses:
-
Portable Gas Equipment: Pressure regulation for mobile heaters, torches, and small-scale generators.
-
Laboratory Services: Managing gas supply for bunsen burners and specialized test equipment.
-
Light Industrial: Direct pressure control for small-scale pilot lights and process heaters.
-
Recreational Vehicles (RVs): Reliable pressure reduction for onboard appliances such as stoves and water heaters.
