Western Enterprises opa-850 Oxygen Regulator Cga 870

Product Description

The WESTERN ENTERPRISES opa-850 is a packaged oxygen regulator designed for medical and clinical oxygen delivery applications. It connects via a CGA 870 post valve fitting, which is the standard connection for small medical oxygen cylinders. The regulator provides a flow range of 0 to 25 liters per minute (LPM), making it suitable for a broad range of therapeutic oxygen flow settings. A gold-finish indicator on the package denotes the product tier. Licensed respiratory therapists, biomedical technicians, and medical gas installers are the typical professionals working with this equipment.

The opa-850 is used in medical oxygen delivery systems where a CGA 870 cylinder connection is required. Typical installation scenarios include portable oxygen setups, bedside oxygen therapy stations, and clinical supply rooms using small-format oxygen cylinders. The 0-25 LPM output range accommodates both low-flow nasal cannula applications and higher-flow mask delivery setups common in clinical environments.

Installation Notes

Medical gas regulators must be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with NFPA 99 and applicable local medical gas codes. Always confirm the cylinder valve is fully closed before attaching or removing the regulator. Do not use oil, grease, or pipe thread sealant on oxygen fittings, as these substances present a serious fire and explosion hazard in oxygen-enriched environments. Inspect the CGA 870 connection and regulator inlet for debris or damage before each use.
