Grade E or EN 12021 breathing air may contain a certain level of hydrocarbons, including traces of compressor oils that while not considered harmful to breathe, can pose a risk in the presence of elevated oxygen content. - Page 9 Regulator Owner’s Manual .................... WARNING : These regulators fitted with special connections should be used only with complementary equipment (tank valves, tanks, pressure gauges, etc.) designed and prepared for use with an oxygen-enriched mixture. These items are marked Nitrox/O2.
