Description
Overview
The Type 800 Subminiature Precision Pressure Regulator delivers highly accurate air pressure regulation in applications where installation space is limited. Despite its compact size, the Type 800 provides the same dependable performance found in larger ControlAir precision regulators, making it an ideal solution for portable equipment, control panels, instrumentation, and OEM pneumatic systems.
Designed with an oversized supply valve, the Type 800 offers significantly higher flow capacity than many competitive regulators of similar size. A built-in vibration damping mechanism helps maintain stable output pressure under changing operating conditions, while the self-relieving design ensures responsive pressure control and reliable operation. Corrosion-resistant materials, lightweight construction, and multiple mounting and porting options make the Type 800 an excellent choice for space-constrained applications.

How to Select the Right Configuration
Selecting the correct Type 800 configuration depends on your application requirements:
- Match the output pressure range to system operating requirements
- Select the appropriate port size for available space and connections
- Verify flow requirements against the regulator’s 5 SCFM capacity
- Consider manifold, threaded post, or standard mounting requirements
- Evaluate environmental and certification requirements
- Determine whether a non-relieving configuration is required
