Laboratory Gas Fixtures – Precision Supplying with Safety at the Core
The Heart of Lab Gas Delivery
Laboratory gas fixtures—such as turrets, valves, and wall outlets—serve as critical terminals for delivering gases like air, oxygen, nitrogen, and specialty gases to bench-level applications. They ensure safe and precise control directly at the point of use.
Built-In Safety and Compliance
- Fixtures come equipped with color-coded index buttons, compliant with industry norms, that clearly identify gas type—oxygen (green), nitrogen (brown), vacuum (yellow), etc.—minimizing misconnection risk.
- Crafted with chrome-plated brass or corrosion-resistant finishes, designed under SEFA 7 standards for lab-grade durability and chemical resistance.
- Outlets are designed with CGA or DISS connections, authoritative by the Compressed Gas Association, to ensure only the correct gas flows through the correct valve—mitigating potential hazards.
Purposeful Valve Design & Function
- Ball valves—often deck-mounted and turret-configured—feature ergonomic handles for smooth gas flow control.
- Barrier-free or panel-mount versions offer flexible lab layout options, while swivel or multi-port turrets support multiple gas lines from a single fixture.
- Valves are typically CSA- or AGA-certified to guarantee safe handling of flammable, compressed, or specialty gases.
Regulated Performance & Integration
- Regulators downstream from fixtures must match the gas type and maintain safe pressure ranges—often utilizing CGA connections to prevent mismatches.
- Piping systems, valves, and gas lines should conform to codes like ASME B16, NFPA, and relevant lab piping standards to ensure operational safety.
Laboratory Gas Fixtures are more than simple interfaces—they define how safely and efficiently gases are delivered within a lab. From weld-in turrets to swivel valves, they ensure precision, regulation compliance, and flexibility in gas-dependent environments.
