Abstract
A gas cylinder () in the neck () of which is installed a balanced valve (). The valve is fitted in the outlet of the cylinder and its output emerges into a recess () which opens to the top surface () of the cylinder. Thus the valve is protected from physical damage. A thread () in the bore enables the attachment of fittings such as a regulator or a filling device (not shown) which cooperate with the valve () to control passage of gas from or into the cylinder.
