Description
Overview
The Type 3600 High Pressure Regulator is a stainless steel first-cut pressure regulator designed to reduce inlet pressures up to 6000 psig (413 bar) to stable working pressures ranging from 0 to 225 psig (15.5 bar). Built from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, the Type 3600 provides dependable pressure control in demanding industrial and oil & gas applications.
Designed to meet NACE MR0175 requirements for sour gas service, the Type 3600 is commonly used as a pilot supply regulator where high-pressure operating valves must be controlled by gas regulator pilots. Its non-relieving design, replaceable valve seat, and multiple output port configuration provide flexibility and long service life in challenging operating environments.
With five available pressure ranges, multiple adjustment options, and a compact design, the Type 3600 delivers reliable pressure reduction while maintaining excellent durability and performance.

How to Select the Right Configuration
Selecting the correct Type 3600 configuration depends on your operating pressure requirements and installation needs.
- Select the 0-30 psig range for low-pressure pilot applications
- Select the 0-60 psig range for general instrumentation service
- Select the 0-125 psig range for medium-pressure control systems
- Select the 0-150 psig range for higher pressure pilot supply applications
- Select the 0-225 psig range when maximum outlet pressure capability is required
- Choose socket head adjustment for tamper-resistant installations
- Choose tee handle adjustment for field adjustment convenience
- Use the Type 3600 when sour gas compatibility or NACE compliance is required
- Consider available outlet ports for simplified system plumbing
