Designed for productivity, Praxair’s PortaCYL® cylinder helps deliver convenience, cost savings and sustainability in one optimized cylinder.
When it comes to managing your gas cylinders, simplicity and efficiency is essential. Purchasing, storing, maintaining and transporting not just the cylinders, but the separate components such as the valve and regulator as well, can be costly and cumbersome. In addition, it takes time to assemble the components and safety-check the system on a regular basis. 

With its lightweight cylinder, integrated regulator valve and convenient handle, Praxair’s PortaCYL® cylinder is easy to transport – and even easier to connect – so you can quickly begin delivering regulated gas to your instruments. The combination of mobility and ease-of-use improves the productivity of customers’ operations.
