Description
The Gentec 286 is a piston-design medical gas regulator built for cylinder-fed oxygen and air supply in clinical and emergency environments. Chrome-plated brass body, sintered bronze inlet filter for long service life, internal relief valve, and a 1.5-inch UL-listed gauge make it a workhorse regulator for ambulance services, hospital wards, and remote-medical kits. Meets CGA standards and ignition testing for oxygen service.

Frequently Asked Questions
286 vs 197M — which?
286 is piston-design, more rugged for harsh environments. 197M is brass with adjustable yoke and self-sealing outlet — better for clinical settings with frequent flowmeter changeovers. Choose 286 for ambulance and field use, 197M for clinical wards.
What does "ignition testing for oxygen service" mean?
Oxygen-service equipment must pass tests showing it won't ignite under high-oxygen environments. The Gentec 286 meets these tests, making it safe for oxygen cylinder use. Don't substitute non-oxygen-rated regulators.
What inlet fitting do I need?
Specify your cylinder type (CGA-870, AS-2473, etc.) when ordering. Different inlets available depending on Australian medical-cylinder standards.
