Parker Watts Pressure Regulator 1/4 in. with Pressure Gauge and Wall Mount

Parker Watts R24-02BK Pressure Regulator – 1/4 in. with Gauge and Mount

The Parker Watts R24-02BK is a high-precision pneumatic pressure regulator designed to provide reliable point-of-use control for compressed air systems in laboratory and industrial environments. This 1/4-inch NPT model is engineered to reduce fluctuating supply pressures to a consistent, functional level, protecting sensitive downstream equipment such as bioreactor controllers, HPLC systems, and pneumatic actuators. Featuring a balanced valve design and an integrated pressure gauge, it ensures rapid response to flow changes while maintaining high stability.

Technical Performance & Design

• Balanced Valve Geometry: Engineered to minimize the effects of inlet pressure variations, ensuring a constant output pressure even when the primary supply fluctuates.
• High-Flow Capacity: Despite its compact 1/4" footprint, the internal aspirated design allows for superior flow rates with minimal pressure drop (droop) during demand spikes.
• Non-Rising Adjustment Knob: Features a push-to-lock adjustment style that prevents accidental setting changes due to vibration or unintentional contact in busy workspaces.
• Integrated Filtration Support: Built to operate seamlessly within FRL (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator) stacks, featuring a modular body that facilitates easy maintenance and part replacement.

Product Specifications

Key Benefits & Applications

• Sensitive Instrumentation Protection: Essential for regulating gas lines to Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs) and analytical instruments where over-pressurization can cause sensor failure.
• Ready-to-Install Kit: The inclusion of a pre-calibrated gauge and wall bracket allows for immediate "out-of-the-box" installation on laboratory headwalls or equipment skids.
• Bioprocessing Gas Sparge Control: Frequently used to manage the delivery of O2, CO2, and N2 to bioreactor vessels, ensuring stable headspace and sparging pressures.
• Industrial Pneumatics: Highly effective in OEM machinery and automated assembly lines where precise force control of air cylinders is required for repeatable tasks.
