1800B2-HC Regulator
Ideal for light commercial and industrial use, the 1-1/4"
1800B2-HC Series regulator is designed to increase output
capacity during medium to high inlet pressure operations.
General Information
The 1800B2-HC Series regulator’s
lightweight design features high-capacity
capabilities for 1-1/4" NPT connections
and flow capacities up to 4600 SCFH
depending on inlet pressure and orifice
selection. It complements the 1800B2
Series family of regulators.
For optimum performance, maximum inlet pressure should not exceed maximum capacity rating for any
given orifice size.
