    ISO 12209 - Outlet Connections for Gas Cylinder Valves

    ISO 12209 outlines the characteristics for the connections and components used in compressed air cylinder valves.

    Deliver safety and peace-of-mind for users of breathable compressed air cylinders.

    Protect users by increasing the safety and efficiency of gas cylinders, and reduce the risks associated with inappropriate gas outlet connections.

    ISO 12209 specifies the characteristics of outlet connections for gas cylinder valves for compressed breathable air gas cylinders. It states the fundamental requirements for both the connection and its components, and includes basic dimensions.

    The standard applies across industries and use cases where breathable compressed air is critical – such as firefighting, medical use including anaesthesia, SCUBA diving, and many industrial safety applications.
