Code: FDMACGAS
Related products
Product detailed description
The FDMACGAS cylinder pressure regulator is screwed directly onto the valve of a cylinder containing acetylene and reduces its pressure – up to 25 bar – to an adjustable working pressure of 0–1.5 bar. It is designed only for acetylene.
It belongs to the GCE ProControl series of cylinder pressure regulators. It is equipped with pressure gauges with a robust rubber guard, a shut-off valve at the outlet and a relief valve; the regulator has been type-tested according to ISO 2503.

GCE (Gas Control Equipment) manufactures valves and fittings for industrial gases. The ProControl cylinder pressure regulators are designed for all common industrial gases up to a cylinder pressure of 300 bar and have been type-tested according to ISO 2503.
From the GCE brand, we offer ProControl cylinder pressure regulators for oxygen, nitrogen, air, argon and CO₂, helium, acetylene, hydrogen and forming gas – with pressure gauges in a rubber guard, a shut-off valve at the outlet and a relief valve – plus a spare gauge guard for them.

How to choose a GCE cylinder pressure regulator
1. Gas
A regulator is always designed for just one gas or group of gases. Flammable gases have a left-hand thread (LH).
2. Cylinder pressure
300 bar cylinders have a different connection (W 30 × 2) from 200 bar cylinders.
3. Pressure or flow rate
For gas-shielded welding and forming, you set the flow rate in l/min; otherwise, the outlet pressure.
4. Instructions
Open the manufacturer’s operating instructions via the QR code on the regulator label.
Frequently asked questions
- Do GCE regulators have a relief valve?
- Yes, according to the manufacturer, all ProControl versions have a relief valve.
- Why do the pressure gauges have a rubber guard?
- The pressure gauges are the most sensitive part of the regulator. The guard protects them against impact during transport, cylinder changes or handling, and the rear cap keeps out dust.
- Do the regulators comply with a standard?
- Yes, ProControl regulators have been type-tested according to ISO 2503, and the pressure gauges comply with ISO 5171.
