Subject: Re: Apeks FCD
Hello,
the Apeks Freeflow Control Device has two components: one is the air on-off
control connected between the 2nd stage of the regulator and the low pressure
hose, the other is the excess-pressure valve connected to a free low pressure
port of the 1st stage.

A freeflow may occur for several reasons. The FCD is usefull only when there is
a problem with the 2nd stage (like a foreign body blocking the valve or
freezing of the 2nd stage). If there is a problem with the 1st stage (e.g.
freezing, wrong maintenance, intermediate pressure too high etc.) the FCD does
not help, one must still close the cylinder valve.

Perhaps it can be used for some very specific requirements, but for standard
configurations there are better ways to avoid or deal with freeflow problems.
Yours
Piotr Dudzik
