Frequently asked questions
Is this compatible with OEM standards?
Yes, this component is a direct replacement for OEM Part #20202900, ensuring it meets the exact original manufacturer specifications and performance requirements for your system.
Why is brass used for this component?
Brass is selected for its superior durability and longevity in demanding dental equipment environments. It provides high resistance to wear and helps ensure the consistent performance of your vacuum unit over time.
Is the flow rate precisely calibrated?
Yes, this regulator is precision-engineered to maintain an exact flow rate of 0.19 GPM (Gallons Per Minute), which is critical for the proper vacuum pressure and performance of your dental equipment.
How easy is it to install this regulator?
Installation is designed to be straightforward and secure using standardized fittings:
- One end features a 1/4” Push-in Fitting for quick tubing connection.
- The other end features a 1/4” Male Pipe Thread (MPT) connection for a secure, threaded attachment.
Can this be used in systems other than Midmark?
This component is specifically designed for integration into Dental Vacuum Units, including the Midmark CV10. Always consult your specific equipment’s service manual or documentation to ensure the 0.19 GPM specification matches your system’s technical requirements before installation.
Is this part refurbished or new?
This is a Factory New component, guaranteeing that you receive a high-quality, unused part that meets original performance and manufacturing standards for your dental equipment.
Does this regulator affect vacuum performance?
It is a vital component for regulating fluid and vacuum lines. By maintaining the correct flow rate, it ensures that your dental vacuum unit operates at the necessary pressure and suction stability required for clinical procedures.
Is this an essential part for routine maintenance?
Yes, this is an essential replacement component often used during the scheduled maintenance or repair of vacuum units. Replacing worn flow regulators helps restore optimal system suction and prevents flow inconsistencies.
Does the system require multiple regulators?
The quantity required can vary based on your specific model configuration and system setup. Please verify your unit’s service manual or accompanying documentation to determine how many flow regulators are needed for your particular installation.
Why is a specific GPM regulator necessary?
Dental vacuum systems rely on highly precise flow control to maintain suction. Using a regulator with the exact 0.19 GPM specification prevents pressure fluctuations, ensures system efficiency, and protects the overall integrity of your dental equipment.
