Parker R230-02C Air Regulator 1/4 Inch Npt 250 Psi 80 Cfm

Product Description

The PARKER R230-02C is a diaphragm-operated compressed air regulator designed to control downstream pressure in pneumatic systems. It accepts a maximum supply pressure of 250 psi and delivers a regulated output across a 0 to 60 psi range, with a maximum airflow capacity of 80 CFM. The regulator features a 1/4 inch NPT port with a 1/4 inch gauge port thread, and includes a built-in relief function to vent excess downstream pressure automatically. Constructed with an aluminum body, this unit is well suited for industrial and commercial compressed air applications. It is typically installed by pipefitters, industrial mechanics, or HVAC technicians maintaining pneumatic control systems.

The R230-02C is part of the Parker R230 series and is used in compressed air distribution systems where precise downstream pressure control is required. It performs reliably across a wide temperature range, down to -40 degrees F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor pneumatic installations. Common applications include air tools, pneumatic actuators, and general-purpose compressed air lines in commercial and light industrial environments. No pressure gauge is included, but the 1/4 inch gauge port allows for field installation of a gauge when monitoring is needed on site.

Key Features

• Diaphragm-operated design provides stable, repeatable pressure regulation
• Maximum supply pressure of 250 psi with an adjustable output range of 0 to 60 psi
• Maximum airflow of 80 CFM supports high-demand pneumatic circuits
• Built-in relief function automatically vents excess downstream pressure
• Aluminum construction offers a good strength-to-weight ratio for compressed air service
• Rated to -40 degrees F minimum temperature for cold-environment installations
• 1/4 inch gauge port allows field installation of an optional pressure gauge

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation regulator within the Parker R230 series, suited for compressed air systems utilizing 1/4 inch NPT connections and requiring pressure regulation up to 250 psi supply.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before installing or servicing this regulator. Apply thread sealant appropriate for compressed air service to NPT threads per the fitting manufacturer guidelines. Ensure airflow direction matches the marked inlet and outlet ports on the regulator body.
