When using nitrogen to pressure leak test a system, the nitrogen cylinder should always be equipped with what device or feature?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — pressure regulator
High-pressure nitrogen gas cylinders must always be fitted with a dual-stage pressure regulator during pressure leak testing. This controls the high bottle pressure down to safe test levels, preventing catastrophic over-pressurization of low-side refrigeration components.
