Abstract: A compressed gas regulator for use in the medical, emergency and home health care fields is disclosed. The regulator includes a body having a rectangular aperture for receiving an industry standard post valve typically found on a high pressure gas tank. The regulator includes a mechanical attachment device for securing the regulator to the post valve. The mechanical attachment device, or knob, is cylindrical in cross-section and is hollow so that it may receive a portion of the regulator therein. The outer periphery of the knob includes a knurl pattern to aid in gripping the knob. The knob includes a threaded rod extending axially along the hollow interior of the knob. The threaded rod engages mating threads in a threaded aperture of the regulator body. Rotating the fastener urges the regulator into contact with the post valve, and a valve seat on the regulator provide a gas seal between the regulator and the post valve. The knob includes a torque limiting device that prevents over-tightening of the regulator on the tank, thereby preventing unintentional damage to the regulator.
