Pin-index yoke prevents incorrect cylinder valve pairing — a critical safety feature when multiple gas types are stocked nearby. Adjustable yoke system, easy-to-read pressure gauge, and self-sealing outlet make it well-suited to clinical settings where flowmeters are connected and disconnected frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte chrome body\u003c\/strong\u003e — professional clinical finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable yoke system\u003c\/strong\u003e with pin-index ‘T’ screw to prevent removal once installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy-to-read pressure gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-sealing outlet ensuring no leaks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin index yoke\u003c\/strong\u003e prevents accidental cross-connection of incompatible gas cylinders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGas service: Medical oxygen\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet pressure: 400 kPa\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ1 valve flow: 130 L\/min\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum flow: 300 L\/min\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGas service: Medical oxygen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: Matte chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYoke: Adjustable, pin-index\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet pressure: 400 kPa\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQ1 valve: 130 L\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum flow: 300 L\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutlet: Self-sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy pin-index yokes matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePin-index yokes have specific pin patterns that match only the cylinder valves of the correct gas type. Oxygen cylinders, nitrous oxide cylinders, and medical air cylinders all have different pin patterns — preventing the regulator from mating with the wrong gas cylinder. This is a critical safety feature in environments where multiple gas types are stocked together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e197M-870-YSC vs 197M-950-YSC?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e197M-870-YSC is for medical oxygen. 197M-950-YSC has the same form factor and specs but is calibrated and pin-indexed for medical air.
