Regulators: Pressure regulators are intended to be used to regulate the pressure at which
fluids are administered in an application. Additional regulations that supplement or limit
the intended use may apply depending on the regulator and media or industry-specific
standards. Regulators are not intended for use as a pressure or safety relief valve.
Valves: TESCOM Valves are intended to be used to control gas flow in piped systems. They
are not intended for use as a pressure reducer.
