 BRANDS AND ABBREVIATIONS

Demand regulators that are not designed for cold water use are marked with “> 10°C” on both 

the second stage demand valve and the first stage pressure reducer.
Demand valves intended for use with an OCTOPUS must be marked with EN250 followed by an 

“A”. EN250A.

If a demand valve is marked with EN250A, this demand regulator is suitable, tested and desig-

ned to be used in water temperatures below 10°C (50°F) and configured with an OCTOPUS.
If a demand regulator is marked with EN250A> 10°C, this demand valve is suitable, tested and 

designed for use in water temperatures above 10°C (50°F) and configured with an OCTOPUS.

If a demand valve is only marked with EN250 and is not followed by an ‘A’, then it will not be sui-

table for use with an Octopus and is not intended to be used as an exhaust system by more than 

one user at the same time, also known as an octopus. 

You will also see CE0426. This denotes the identification number of the notified body which has 

independently certified and examined its product.

A serial number, usually consisting of 1 alphabet and 8 digits, can also be found in both the 

first-stage pressure reducer and the second-stage demand valve.

A hose can also be marked with the maximum working pressure of that type of hose, EN250, and 

can also include a specific serial number for that hose.
