Study Notes
G1 Pressure Reducer Overview
- Reduces cylinder pressure to an intermediate level of 115 PSI for user safety.
- Further decreases pressure using a regulator to ensure it's respirable for the user.
Safety and Design Features
- Features a fail-safe design that guarantees airflow even during malfunction.
- Relief valve activates between 200-250 PSI to prevent overpressure situations.
- Incorporates an intermediate pressure relief valve to manage excess pressure.
Connection and Operation
- Connects to the cylinder valve assembly via a handwheel assembly for easy operation.
- Uses a Quick Connect fitting for efficient attachment and detachment.
- Disconnecting requires a simple 1/4 turn and pull motion from the male quick-connect adapter.
- A safety pin mechanism activates when the cylinder is turned on, preventing accidental disconnection.
Filtration Component
- Contains a sintered filter within the cylinder connector, designed to capture particulates and protect user air supply.
