FAQ
Not required — both flamethrowers operate fine with the standard single-gauge stock configuration. The regulator is for consistent, repeatable performance. Without it, your operating pressure floats with ambient temperature (CO2 expands when warm, contracts when cold). With the regulator dialed in, you get the same range and flame profile from shot to shot regardless of conditions — useful for pyrotechnic work, training environments, and anyone chasing maximum range.
This regulator allows the user to reduce and set system pressure to adjust flamethrower performance (range, flame width, fuel use rate, CO2 use rate and recoil). Without a regulator, the flamethrower’s operating pressure is equalized with the 20oz CO2 tank. CO2 pressure largely depends on outside temperature (see above chart).
Maximum range pressure setting:
X15: 400 – 700 psi (depending on fuel mix / viscosity)
XL18: 300 – 400 psi (depending on fuel mix / viscosity)
Regulator Specs
- Material: Stainless Steel 316
- Max Inlet Pressure: 1,500 psi
- Outlet Pressure: 0 – 800 psi
Increase the range and consistency of your flamethrower using this device. The regulator controls the flow inline with the CO2 pressurization system. Ambient temperature may still have a slight impact on final pressure.

Excellent quality, solid heavy product, recommended.
Robson H –
CO2 seems to be better than R2D2 and C3PO Combined

Although kind of expensive, worth having the control
Seth F –
Very easy to set up and use
Harold T –
Works good quality hose
Travis C. –
Makes it very easy to control the pressure to the tank, excellent liquid filled gage set.
Scott T –
Keeps tight pressure regulation and stays pretty accurate during use.

It works great but for the X15 I don’t think it was worth ordering. That said, it is VERY well made!
John C –
Top quality.
Mike S –
Easy to use

100% get this. being able to limit the flamethrower is great when you are not using napalm so it does not just become a massive fire ball.

Works as intended
