Inflators

For latex balloons, there is a black, rubber tilt valve. However, this valve DOES NOT automatically shut off for latex balloons. Please see the latex section of this guide for proper inflation techniques. The tilt valve should NOT be used to inflate foil balloons, as it could damage the self-sealing valve.

Other features of the RPB62HG are a gauge that indicates the amount of helium in the cylinder, a ribbon cutter, and a disc tyer post, which is used with sealing discs for latex.

Inflating with the Deluxe Tilt Valve Regulator

The Deluxe Tilt Valve Regulator is a basic rubber tilt valve inflator, which does not provide an automatic shut-off. The tilt valve is designed to inflate latex balloons. To inflate foil balloons with this inflator, the brass foil tip that is included with the regulator must be placed in the black rubber tilt valve. Both inflators are ideal for rentals and feature hand-tight connections, ribbon cutters, and disc tyer posts. 101GS also includes a gauge.

Additional Accessories

Additional accessories such as balloon nets for balloon drops and Hi-Float, both of which are available, are frequently used in conjunction with an inflator and offer even more conveniences for professional jobs.

The portable helium transfiller TR1 is used to transfer helium from a large cylinder to small cylinders. Renting small helium cylinders and regulators to your customers is another way to expand your business.

Helpful Hint

Never use a black rubber tilt valve to inflate foil balloons without a brass foil tip. The tilt valve can damage the self-sealing valve of foil balloons and cause a slow leak. Of course, if you have any questions you can always ask an expert.
