You may need a hose adaptor if:
- Your machine uses a 6mm diameter hose (this regulator is designed for 4mm hoses), or
- Your machine does not come with a hose.
Check your setup before purchase to ensure compatibility.
Insert the pin on the base of the regulator into the disposable cylinder and turn it clockwise. You’ll hear a brief burst of gas - this is normal. Continue turning clockwise until the gas sound stops. Hand tightening is sufficient; do not use tools to overtighten.
Turn the black control knob on top of the regulator clockwise until you feel resistance, which indicates the cylinder valve is open. Then, continue adjusting the knob to set your desired working pressure. It’s normal for the knob to feel slightly loose - avoid overtightening, as this can cause damage.
Rotate the black control knob on top of the regulator anticlockwise until it is fully closed. Unscrew the regulator from the disposable cylinder by turning it anticlockwise. Store the regulator in a clean, dry place to prevent damage or contamination.
Tip: Never leave the regulator pressurised when not in use, as this can reduce its lifespan.
When using our disposable cylinders, a full bottle typically reads around 100 bar on the gauge. Readings may vary slightly due to temperature changes.
The contents gauge shows how much gas is left. When it reaches the lower end, it’s time to replace your cylinder.
- Cylinder Contents Gauge (Left): Indicates how much gas is left in the cylinder.
- Outlet Pressure Gauge (Right): Shows the pressure being delivered to your torch or machine.
The red lines indicate the maximum capacity the regulator is designed to handle.
This is the pressure release valve to safely vent excess pressure. It should not be adjusted or tampered with. Altering this valve will void the warranty.
clean water or leak detector spray to suspected areas and look for bubbles or listen for escaping gas. Do not use soapy water as it may react with the gas. If you suspect a leak and the regulator is still within the 3-month warranty period, contact us for advice.

Hints and Tips for Using OxyTurbo Twin Gauge Regulator for use with Disposable Argon & CO2 Cylinders (225200)
Choosing the Right Hose Connection
If your setup uses a 6mm hose, you may find you need a hose adaptor kit to ensure everything fits comfortably. This regulator is designed for 4mm hoses, so checking the hose size on your machine beforehand can make installation easier.
Making a Smooth Connection to the Cylinder
When attaching the regulator, gently insert the pin of the regulator into the disposable cylinder and turn it clockwise. You may hear a short burst of gas at first – this is a normal part of the connection process. A snug hand-tightening is all that’s needed, as using tools can cause unnecessary strain on the fittings.
Setting the Gas Flow with Ease
After the regulator is connected, turning the black control knob clockwise will begin to open the gas flow. Continue turning until you reach the pressure level you’d like to work with. The knob may feel slightly loose while adjusting, which is normal – there’s no need to force it beyond gentle resistance. Turning the black knob too much can damage the regulator and cause the knob to get stuck, causing irreversible damage.
Safely Closing the Regulator After Use
To finish your session, simply turn the control knob anticlockwise until it is fully closed. You can then remove the regulator from the cylinder by unscrewing it anticlockwise. Storing the regulator somewhere clean and dry will help keep it in good working condition.
A Helpful Tip for Extending Regulator Life
It’s a good idea not to leave the regulator pressurised when it’s not being used. Releasing the pressure each time can support long-term performance and reduce wear.
Reading the Fullness of Your Cylinder
With most disposable cylinders, a full bottle often shows around 100 bar on the gauge. This can shift slightly depending on temperature, so small variations are nothing to worry about.
Knowing When It's Time to Replace Your Cylinder
The contents gauge provides a clear indication of when gas levels are getting low. Once the needle approaches the lower end of the scale, it’s usually a good time to prepare a replacement cylinder.
Understanding the Two Gauges
The left gauge shows how much gas remains inside the disposable cylinder. The right gauge displays the outlet pressure being delivered to your torch or machine, helping you keep control of your setup.
Why the Red Lines Matter
The red lines on the gauges highlight the upper limits of the regulator's intended range. Staying within these limits helps ensure safe and reliable use.
The Purpose of the Black Valve
The small black valve at the back is a built-in pressure relief feature. Its role is to safely release excess pressure if needed. It works automatically, so there’s no need to adjust it manually.
Checking for Possible Leaks
If you’d like to check for leaks, applying clean water or leak-detection spray around the fittings can help. Look for bubbles or listen for any sound of escaping gas. Avoid using soapy water, as it may not be suitable for this type of gas. If you notice anything unusual and the regulator is still within its 3-month warranty, feel free to get in touch for support.
