Harris HP742 CGA 580 Nitrogen, Argon and Helium Regulator
The Harris HP742 is a two-stage stainless steel regulator with a CGA 580 inlet for inert gases: nitrogen, argon and helium. Its 316L stainless steel body and diaphragm suit grade 6.0 gases and applications where either the internal gas or the external environment is harsh or corrosive. See all models in our Stainless Steel Regulators.
Gas service: CGA 580
CGA 580 is the most common laboratory cylinder connection. It fits nitrogen, argon and helium cylinders, as well as the rare gases krypton, neon and xenon, at cylinder pressures up to 3000 psig. Higher-pressure cylinders use different connections (for example CGA 680 or 677), so check the valve before you order.
The Harris HP742 is used for high purity gases including helium at grade 6.0 and above, and its CGA 580 inlet can be used with any inert gas supplied on a CGA 580 valve.
Specifications
- Two-stage design, 316L stainless steel barstock body and fittings
- Bonnet: nickel-plated brass barstock
- 1-11/16″ 316L stainless steel diaphragm
- High purity PTFE seals and valve seats; seat protected by a 10 micron sintered stainless steel inlet filter
- Inboard helium leak rate 1×10-9 cc/sec
- 2″ dual-scale stainless steel gauges (psi/bar)
- Outlet pressure: selectable 0-15, 0-50, 0-125, 0-250 or 0-500 psig (choose above); the 0-125 psig range has a 30″Hg vacuum to 200 psi outlet gauge
- Maximum inlet pressure 3000 psig
- Flow coefficient Cv 0.06; delivery changes only about 0.05 psig per 100 psig drop in cylinder pressure

- Pipe thread outlet port (FNPT) with outlet valve included: 1/4″ FNPT diaphragm valve
- Relief valve is not standard on the HP742 (Harris option 4); ask us if your system needs one
Typical applications
- Corrosive gases, or corrosive and harsh external environments
- Grade 6.0 research gas, process analyzers and gas chromatography
