· Internally threaded chamber design promotes longer life and helps protect valve body chamber threads from damage

· Chamber design minimizes risk of broken stems caused by careless handling of cylinders

· Single unit, compact pressure relief resists tampering

· Nickel 201 rupture disc resists premature rupture that may be caused by corrosion from ambient environments

· Large wrench flats on bonnet for easy removal

· Precise, quality machining results in exceptional finishes for low torque sealing and long packing life

· Inert Teflon packing provides leak-free stem seal, long cycle life and resistance to corrosion

· Secondary O-Ring seal located above Teflon packing helps provide secure seal under vacuum purging and low pressure operation

· Copper sealing gasket provides permanent, leak-resistant bonnet seal

· Oxygen cleaned with aqueous detergent to CGA Specification G4.1
