The model 26-1040 provides preheated instrument gas for applications such as motor valves and pilot operated regulators, where freezing can develop. In the 26-1040, high pressure gas is heated as it passes sequentially through a Kimray 2000 psi drip pot, a Meco high pressure regulator and a Fisher 67 supply gas regulator. The drip pot and the high pressure Meco regulator are enclosed in a stainlesssteel case and are heated by a 1500 btu catalytic heater. The package includes a Fisher 912 regulator to provide fuel gas for the catalytic heater.
The table below shows options included with our most popular configurations, but Catco is always happy to configure a unit to your exact specifications. Just contact us and we will be glad to help.

All of our 5000 series come with optional thermocouples and shutoff valves.
Texas is known for its unpredictable weather patterns, with significant fluctuations in temperature throughout the year. These climate shifts can have substantial implications for both natural gas facilities and the population of Texas as a whole…
There is no consensus on how to manage industrial freeze prevention or protection. But we can agree there are common best practices: a good plan typically consists of heating and insulation. The right system is highly dependent on your equipment…
The oil and gas industry moves huge amounts of fuel around the U.S. in more than 2.6 million miles of pipelines. Disrupting these movements with frozen valves results in costly scenarios for operators. How do these frozen valves occur? There are various situations where a control valve can freeze over, but one of the most common ones is due to…
Is natural gas system reliability a given this winter? Most of us will not have forgotten Storm “Uri” that caused widespread outages in February 2021 – especially if we were among the many millions without power. Crucial natural gas production was widely held up due to…
