Economy Latex Regulator (Nozzle/Inflator):
The economy latex regulator is the most common regulator used to inflate balloons. It reduces high pressure of a helium cylinder to a safe working level for balloon inflation.
Compatible Balloons: This regulator can be used for latex balloons, bubble balloons, and Orbz balloons.
Incompatible Balloons: This regulator cannot be used for foil balloons. A regulator specifically designed for foil balloons should be used instead. An example is the Dual Valve Regulator.
Additional Features: The latex regulator may come with additional features, such as a ribbon cutter or pressure gauge (shown in the image below). The gauge helps measure the amount of helium left in the tank.
Instructions for Use:
Please ensure to always follow the manufacture's specific instructions for installation, use, and removal. The steps below apply to most latex regulators:
1- Prepare the Tank:
- Ensure the helium tank is securely closed when not in use.
- To open: turn the valve left (counter-clockwise).
- To close: turn the valve right (clockwise). Tighten by hand only.
2- Inflating the Balloon:
- Place the balloon over the nozzle.
- Tilt the nozzle (or press, depending on the design). Helium will begin to flow in the balloon.
- When the balloon size is full or at the desired size, release the nozzle back and the gas will stop flowing.
3- Tips and Safety Notes:
- Some nozzle may tilt in one direction only while others may tilt in multiple directions.
- If no helium has is released, ensure the tank valve is open.
- Keep the tank tightly close when not in use to prevent leaks and ensure safety.
