Standard Valve Outlets

A number of countries stipulate their own valve standards. The table below details the most common ones. If you
are unsure you should refer to your cylinder for further information or consult the gas supplier for advice. Bear in
mind that if you are using the equipment in another country, then the standard of the equipment you are
connecting to may not be the same as you are used to.
