You can use any pressure regulator, provided it meets the R71 and R66G specs. FIRST has helpfully recommended a couple of regulators, but does not require their use.

I would also point out that AndyMark does have the Norgren pressure regulator. http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2020.htm


Also, a secondary pressure regulator is generally used after the primary regulator to further restrict pressure if one or more components cannot handle the pressure coming off of the primary regulator.
