1. An in-line pressure regulator, comprising:
- a body having threads to threadingly engage a port of another pressure regulator, wherein the body defines an inlet, an aperture, and a seating surface;
a piston assembly operatively coupled to a valve plug, wherein the piston assembly is slidably movable relative to the body to move the valve plug relative to the aperture and the seating surface to control a flow of fluid between the inlet and the other regulator, and wherein the piston assembly is to slidably and sealingly engage a surface of the port of the other pressure regulator.

Abstract
In-line pressure regulators are described. An example in-line pressure regulator includes a body having threads to threadingly engage a port of another pressure regulator. The body defines an inlet, an aperture, and a seating surface. Additionally, the example in-line pressure regulator includes a piston assembly operatively coupled to a valve plug. The piston assembly is slidably movable relative to the body to move the valve plug relative to the aperture and the seating surface to control a flow of fluid between the inlet and the other regulator. Additionally, the piston assembly is to slidably and sealingly engage a surface of the port of the other pressure regulator.
