A regulator comprises a regulator valve and an actuator. The regulator valve comprises a valve body equipped with a customized valve port. That is, the valve seat is designed to have a customized seat height depending on a diameter of an orifice through the valve port, a longitudinal dimension of an orifice through the valve port, and/or a flow capacity of the valve port. Such a design advantageously maximizes the efficiency at which gas flows through the regulator. The actuator is coupled to the valve body and comprises a valve disc disposed within the valve body and adapted for displacement between a closed position engaging the valve seat and an open position spaced from the valve seat.

1. A fluid regulating device, comprising: a valve body defining an inlet, an outlet, and a throat disposed between the inlet and the outlet;an actuator coupled to the valve body and comprising a valve disc and a diaphragm operably coupled to the valve disc, the valve disc disposed in the valve body
1. A fluid regulating device, comprising: a valve body defining an inlet, an outlet, and a throat disposed between the inlet and the outlet;an actuator coupled to the valve body and comprising a valve disc and a diaphragm operably coupled to the valve disc, the valve disc disposed in the valve body and adapted for displacement between an open position and a closed position relative to the throat of the valve body in response to changes in pressure at the outlet of the valve body sensed by the diaphragm;a selected valve port disposed within the throat of the valve body, the selected valve port comprising a generally cylindrical member including a valve seat that is sealingly engaged by the valve disc when the valve disc is in the closed position, and an elongated orifice providing a flow path for fluid to pass through the selected valve port;a seat height that comprises a distance that the valve seat extends along the elongated orifice; andan orifice diameter that comprises an internal diameter of the elongated orifice,the selected valve port being pre-selected from a plurality of valve ports, each of the plurality of valve ports comprising an elongated orifice having an orifice diameter, and a valve seat having a seat height, the seat heights of the plurality of valve ports varying in inverse proportion to the orifice diameters of the plurality of valve ports. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated orifices of the plurality of valve ports further comprise longitudinal dimensions, the longitudinal dimensions of the elongated orifices of the plurality of valve ports varying in inverse proportion to the orifice diameters of the plurality of valve ports. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of valve ports further comprise flow capacities, the flow capacities of the plurality of valve ports varying in inverse proportion to the seat heights of the plurality of valve ports. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated orifice of each of the plurality of valve ports has a constant orifice diameter. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of valve ports each further comprises a body portion and a hexagonal nut portion disposed between the body portion and the valve seat, the body portion of the selected valve port in threaded engagement with the throat of the valve body. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the valve seats of each of the plurality of valve ports comprises a ring-shaped valve seat having a generally tapered cross-section converging from the hexagonal nut portion to a seating edge, the seating edge of the selected valve port sealingly engaged by the valve disc when the valve disc is in the closed position. 7. The device of claim 5, wherein the body portions and the hexagonal nut portions of the plurality of valve ports are identical. 8. A method of installing a fluid regulation device, the method comprising: coupling a fluid input line to an inlet of a valve body;coupling a fluid output line to an outlet of the valve body;selecting a valve port from a plurality of valve ports, each of the plurality of valve ports comprising a valve seat, an elongated orifice, and a set of parameters including an orifice diameter, which comprises a diameter of the elongated orifice, and a seat height, which comprises a distance at which the valve seat extends along the orifice, the seat heights of the plurality of valve ports varying in inverse proportion to the orifice diameters of the plurality of valve ports; andinstalling the selected valve port into the throat of the valve body.
