Abstract
A regulator valve assembly may comprise: a housing defining an actuator cavity and a piston head cavity; a piston rod comprising a piston head disposed within the piston head cavity and a rod end disposed within the actuator cavity; and a disc retainer within the housing. The actuator cavity can have a top region of the actuator cavity and a bottom region of the actuator cavity. The piston head cavity can comprise a regulator inlet and an inlet port. The disc retainer can be coupled to a proximate seating surface of the inlet port, wherein a first face of a membrane disc is coupled to a lateral seating surface of the inlet port disposed between the piston head cavity and the disc retainer. Also disclosed are methods of using and manufacturing regulator valve assemblies.
