ABSTRACT:
A compressed gas supply system is disclosed which includes a pressure tank for a predetermined compressed gas. An outlet valve is mounted on the pressure tank and includes at least two outlet ports. One outlet port is provided with a size and thread configuration proportioned to meet a first industry standard for connection of equipment using the compressed gas within the tank. The other port has a size and thread configuration different from the one port, and proportioned to meet a second different standard for connection of equipment using the compressed gas. An automatic pressure-regulating valve is provided in one of the ports to reduce the pressure delivered to such port to a maximum pressure less than the maximum pressure allowable in the associated outlet port. The valve reduces the inventory requirements by permitting the use of a single valve and tank combination to connect with distribution systems for the compressed gas having different maximum pressure values.
