a body enclosing a cavity, and an inlet passage configured to attach to an associated gas cylinder and an outlet passage configured to attach to an associated cylinder valve, the inlet and outlet passages in selective fluid communication with one another;
a flexible diaphragm or bellows interposed between the inlet and outlet passages;
a poppet assembly located between the inlet and outlet passages that selectively seals with a poppet seat to regulate fluid flow between the inlet and outlet passages;
an excess flow valve received in the body between the inlet passage and the outlet passage, the excess flow valve including a shut off poppet that selectively engages an excess flow valve seat;
a reset mechanism that selectively engages the excess flow valve and moves the excess flow valve shut off poppet from an engaged position with the excess flow valve seat, wherein the reset mechanism includes a hard member mounted on the excess flow valve shut off poppet, and the reset mechanism includes a piston that selectively engages the hard member to move the excess flow valve shut off poppet from the engaged position with the excess flow valve seat, and wherein the reset mechanism includes a tube that slidingly receives the piston therein, and the piston includes a first magnet therein and the reset mechanism includes a second magnet located externally of the regulator body.
