66 Series Direct-Operated Regulators and Vacuum Service Equipment
Fisher® 66 Series direct-operated pressure-reducing regulators are widely used in burner control, tank blanketing systems, and other applications where precise control of low-pressure industrial gases is needed, while 66 Series direct-operated vacuum service equipment comes in both vacuum regulator and vacuum breaker constructions. These products differ in pressure capabilities and construction.
