Installing a pressure reducer on an oxygen cylinder is a safety-critical step. Use only a pressure reducer suitable for the gas type, cylinder connection, and operating pressure, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Video Guides for Installation
Two separate video guides are available for installation on different oxygen cylinders:
- Installing a Pressure Reducer on an Oxygen Cylinder – Video Guide
- Installing a Pressure Reducer on a 10-Liter Oxygen Cylinder – Video Guide
Installation and Handling
Before each use, check the technical condition of the cylinder, valve, seal, and pressure reducer. Oxygen-carrying components must be free of oil and grease. Open the cylinder valve in a controlled and slow manner.
Further Information
Further information can be found under Transport, Storage, and Safe Handling of Medical Oxygen and in the respective operating instructions for the pressure reducer.
