The self-sealing outlet ensures no oxygen flows until the flowmeter is properly connected, reducing waste and preventing accidental discharge into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-quality brass with matte chrome body\u003c\/strong\u003e — durable, professional finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable yoke system\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits a range of cylinder valve types.\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\u003c\/strong\u003e — no oxygen flows until flowmeter is connected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: High-quality brass with matte chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYoke: Adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutlet: Self-sealing (oxygen flow gated by flowmeter connection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGauge: Pressure indication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the self-sealing outlet matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn clinical environments where one regulator may serve multiple flowmeters across rotating shifts and patients, a self-sealing outlet prevents oxygen waste between flowmeter changeovers. It also reduces the risk of accidental high-flow oxygen discharge into the patient room — an oxygen-enrichment fire hazard that conventional regulators don't protect against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e197M vs 286 — which?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e197M for clinical wards with frequent flowmeter changeovers (the self-sealing outlet adds value here). 286 for ambulance and field use where the piston design and sintered filter offer more rugged performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"adjustable yoke\" mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe yoke is the connection between the regulator and the cylinder valve. An adjustable yoke can fit a wider range of cylinder valve geometries — useful when your supply cylinders may come from multiple sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this oxygen-service certified?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — designed and certified for medical oxygen use.
