Aqua Medic Regular CO2 pressure regulator

Aqua Medic Regular CO2 pressure regulator

The Regular is chrome-plated and consists of:

• a reduction valve with a fixed operating pressure of 1.5 bar
• a needle valve for fine tuning
• two manometers on which bottle pressure and working pressure can be read

The Aqua Medic Regular fits any standard CO2 bottle with an external valve.

The pressure in CO2 bottles is much too high to be handled safely without a proper pressure regulation. Solenoid valves, used for aquaria, are safe for a pressure up to a maximum of 10 bars. Standard tubing may be used up to 1 bar, special CO2 tubes up to 6 bars. The pressure in a CO2 bottle varies, depending on the room temperature, between 60 and 70 bar. In order to reduce this pressure down to the optimum working pressure of the Aqua Medic CO2 system, a pressure regulator is needed. The CO2 pressure regulator regular is best suited for this purpose.

It is a rugged instrument, engineered to withstand regular use while providing sufficient delicate regulation. The pressure regulator regular is a complete top class instrument. The whole unit is chrome-plated to improve the corrosion-resistance.
The unit is fitted with 2 chrome-plated pressure gauges. The primary pressure gauge shows the CO2 pressure inside of the bottle. This pressure is 60 – 70 bar as long as there is liquid CO2 left in the bottle. The second pressure gauge shows the firmly adjusted working pressure of 1.5 bar (between 1 and 2 bar.
