Two-Stage High Purity Regulator
The Harris KH1098 is a two-stage high purity gas regulator designed for cylinder-mounted use with argon, helium or nitrogen. It delivers a maximum outlet pressure of 50 psig from an inlet rated at 3,000 psig. The unit is intended for welding and specialty gas applications that require stable, contamination-free flow control.
Upgrade From Single-Stage Units
This regulator replaces single-stage models when outlet pressure must remain constant as cylinder pressure drops. The two-stage design reduces the need for frequent readjustment during long welding runs or precision gas shielding tasks. It is not suited for gases outside the listed argon, helium and nitrogen compatibility or for systems requiring outlet pressures above 50 psig.
Cylinder Mount Installation
The regulator mounts directly to a cylinder using a male 0.965 in.-14 NGO right-hand inlet thread and provides a female 1/4 in tube-fitting outlet with right-hand threads. Installation requires matching the inlet connection to the cylinder valve and securing the outlet fitting to the downstream hose or manifold. Common issues include cross-threading the inlet nut, using incompatible thread sealants on the tube fitting, and exceeding the 3,000 psig inlet rating.

Questions about this item
What cylinder thread does the 0.965 in.-14 NGO inlet on this KH1098 regulator require?
The regulator mounts directly to a cylinder with a right-hand 0.965 in.-14 NGO male thread; no adapter is needed if the tank outlet matches that specification.
Which step is most often missed when installing this two-stage regulator on an argon, helium or nitrogen cylinder?
After threading the 0.965 in.-14 NGO inlet onto the cylinder valve, the outlet pressure must be set with the control knob while the downstream valve is closed; opening the cylinder before adjusting the knob can over-pressurise the 1/4 in. tube fitting outlet.
How often should the internal seat and filter of this high-purity regulator be inspected or replaced?
Inspect the seat and inlet filter at least once a year or whenever outlet pressure drifts above the 50 psig maximum; replace them if contamination or wear is found to maintain gas purity for argon, helium or nitrogen service.
