General Tied Diaphragm Regulators

RTGC Series

Introduction

RTGC Series General Tied Diaphragm Regulators feature a single-stage pressure reduction design. Their tied diaphragm construction provides positive shutoff.
With no threads or springs in wetted areas, these regulators are ideal for high purity and ultra-high purity applications ranging from low to medium flow.

General Tied Diaphragm Regulators

Features

  • Compact design and lightweight
  • Lift poppet and diaphragm are made of Alloy C-22, offering excellent corrosion resistance
  • Metal-to-metal seal between valve body and diaphragm provides ensured sealing performance
  • Reinforced diaphragm improves sealing performance and extends service life
  • Tied diaphragm construction offers positive shutoff for added safety
  • The bonnet includes a captured vent hole, allowing media to be vented to a designated location in the event of accidental diaphragm rupture
