    Product Details

    GasIQ Maxex is a high-quality and high-capacity regulator (class 3 ISO 2503). Maxex is ideal for normal to high gas flows, e.g. in cutting and heating with high-performance cutting and welding systems such as N76/S80, etc.

    Maxex is a heavy-duty and robust, ergonomically designed regulator for accurate control of gas flow. It is available for most gas types. The regulator comes with a built-in preset safety valve to ensure the highest possible level of safety.

    Supplied with hose connections for 5.0 /6.3 mm or 6.3/8.0 mm internal diameter hose, and extra seals.

    Oxygen Single Stage Gas Regulators FAQs

    Answers on choosing, fitting and looking after single stage oxygen regulators for cutting and welding.

    Do I need a regulator with two gauges, or is a gaugeless one fine?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Regulators can have a contents gauge on the cylinder side showing supply pressure, and a second gauge on the outlet side showing the working pressure. Some adjustable regulators have no gauges but a pressure indication marked on the housing, and some give a fixed pressure.

    Two gauges let you see how much gas is left and set the working pressure accurately, which suits cutting where you need to match the tip chart. A gaugeless type gives you no direct contents reading, so it is better where the pressure needs are simple and you have another way to judge the cylinder. Gauges should meet the relevant standard, which includes safe venting if the gauge fails.

    What do the inlet and outlet sizes on an oxygen regulator mean?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The inlet is the nut that connects to the cylinder valve, and the outlet is the connection for the hose or flashback arrester. On UK oxygen regulators you will commonly see a 5/8 inch BSP right-hand inlet and a 3/8 inch BSP outlet, but the exact fitting depends on the cylinder valve and the maker.

    Oxygen connections use right-hand threads, while fuel gas connections use left-hand threads, partly to avoid mix-ups. Check the cylinder valve outlet and the hose or arrester thread before ordering, and note that a regulator made for another country's cylinder connection will not fit a UK cylinder.

    Can I use an oxygen regulator on a 300 bar cylinder?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Check the maximum inlet pressure on the regulator before connecting it. Regulators are made for different maximum supply pressures, and it is possible to connect a regulator designed for 200 bar to a 300 bar cylinder valve. The HSE notes this mismatch may not fail immediately, but with oxygen the internal components may not be suitable at the higher pressure.

    The maximum inlet pressure is marked on the regulator body and in the instructions. Only use a regulator rated for at least the pressure of the cylinder you are connecting it to, and ask if you are unsure.

    How do I fit a regulator to a new oxygen cylinder safely?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Follow the regulator maker's and gas supplier's instructions, as the recommended steps can differ. Wipe the cylinder valve outlet and the regulator connection with a clean lint-free cloth and check both are free from grease, grit and dirt, then make the connection.

    With the regulator outlet closed and the pressure adjuster backed off, open the cylinder valve very slowly, then open the regulator outlet slowly. This avoids sudden compression of oxygen inside the regulator, which can heat and ignite internal parts. Do not use tape or jointing compound on the connections.
