pressure regulator
Force-limiting valve device
A pressure regulator is a valve that maintains a constant output pressure regardless of fluctuations in input pressure or flow rate.
Found in gas grills, scuba equipment, welding systems, and industrial machinery, it reduces high-pressure sources to safe, usable levels: The propane tank connects to the grill through a pressure regulator.
Without one, pressure surges could damage equipment or create hazards.
