Kofloc 6800 Series Back Pressure Regulator maintains a constant upstream or primary-side gas pressure by releasing excess gas when the pressure exceeds its set value.
Its compact, greaseless design is suitable for panel-mounted gas systems, tank-pressure regulation and constant discharge-flow applications.
The Kofloc Model 6800 Series is a compact back pressure regulator designed to maintain constant pressure on the upstream or primary side of a gas system.
When upstream pressure rises above the selected setting, the valve opens to release gas. As the pressure returns to the set value, the valve reduces the discharge flow. This makes the 6800 suitable for tank-pressure control, gas-mixing equipment and low-flow process systems.
A back pressure regulator controls the pressure before the valve. It is normally installed downstream of the vessel, tank or process whose pressure must be maintained.
| Operating condition | Regulator response |
|---|---|
| Upstream pressure is below the set value | The valve remains closed or restricts the gas discharge. |
| Upstream pressure reaches the set value | The valve begins regulating the discharge flow. |
| Upstream pressure exceeds the set value | The valve opens further to release gas and restore the selected pressure. |
| Regulator type | Controlled pressure | Installation position |
|---|---|---|
| Back pressure regulator | Upstream or primary-side pressure | Installed after the vessel or process being controlled |
| Pressure-reducing regulator | Downstream or secondary-side pressure | Installed before the equipment receiving the regulated gas |
The Kofloc 6800 is a back pressure regulator. It is not intended to operate as a conventional downstream pressure-reducing regulator.
| Model | Primary-side pressure setting | Maximum gas flow |
|---|---|---|
| 6800A | 0.01 to 0.3 MPa(G) | 1 L/min |
| 6800B | 0.01 to 0.6 MPa(G) | 0.8 L/min |
| 6800AL | 0.01 to 0.3 MPa(G) | 10 L/min |
| 6800BL | 0.01 to 0.6 MPa(G) | 10 L/min |
Select the model according to the required upstream pressure, discharge-flow capacity, gas compatibility and wetted materials.

Confirm compatibility between the process gas and all wetted materials before ordering. Gas composition, concentration, temperature and operating pressure can affect material suitability.
The Kofloc 6800 is intended for process back-pressure regulation. It must not be used as a certified emergency pressure-relief or safety valve unless its suitability and required approvals have been confirmed for the specific installation.
