ABSTRACT:
A gas pressure reducing regulator which includes a flexible diaphragm which is biased by a spring so as to control the opening of the valve of the regulator and thus the delivery pressure of the gas being regulated. The regulator includes a system for effectively containing an accidental oxygen fire, or the like, within the body of the regulator, and protecting the internal components from ignition. The system includes a plunger which resides in an axial bore in the regulator body and shields the diaphragm from hot combustion products, and plunger-retaining features which prevent the plunger from being displaced from its axial bore. Also, the regulator has provision for venting the interior of the regulator to the atmosphere in the event of an excessive overpressure therein.
