OVERVIEW

Consistent Shielding for Superior Welds

For professional welders, the consistency of shielding gas flow is the difference between a perfect bead and a porous failure. The Harris Flow Regulator for Argon Mix (SKU: 3000244) is built to deliver that consistency, specifically for setups utilizing high-pressure cylinders. If your shop runs on high-pressure Argon tanks requiring a CGA 680 connection, this is the regulator you need. It eliminates the guesswork and adapter hassles, connecting directly to your high-pressure supply to provide smooth, surge-free gas flow.

Built Harris Tough

Harris is a name synonymous with durability in the welding industry, and this regulator lives up to the brand's reputation. It features a rugged forged brass body that can take the knocks and bumps of a busy shop floor. Inside, the one-piece encapsulated seat with a PTFE Teflon seal ensures that the regulator doesn't just work when it's new, but continues to perform reliably for years. The internal filter adds an extra layer of protection, stopping dirt and metal shavings from damaging the seat, which is a common issue with lesser regulators.

Optimized for MIG and TIG

With a flow capacity of up to 60 SCFH, this regulator handles everything from delicate TIG work on thin stainless steel to heavy-duty MIG welding on thick structural aluminum. The easy-to-read gauge allows you to monitor your flow rate at a glance, ensuring you aren't wasting expensive gas or starving your weld pool. By maintaining a constant flow rate, even as your cylinder pressure drops, the Harris 3000244 helps you maintain arc stability and weld quality from the start of the shift to the end.

FAQ

CGA 580 is the standard connection for inert gases like Argon and Nitrogen at pressures up to 3,000 PSIG. CGA 680 is designed for high-pressure inert gas cylinders ranging from 3,001 to 5,500 PSIG. This regulator is specifically for the latter.

No, standard Argon tanks typically use a CGA 580 valve. This regulator has a CGA 680 nut and nipple and will not fit a standard tank without a dangerous and non-recommended adapter. Always match the CGA number to your cylinder valve.

This model is calibrated for a maximum flow rate of 60 SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour).

This is a flow regulator, which typically uses a gauge calibrated in SCFH to indicate flow, rather than a vertical flowmeter tube with a floating ball. It is designed for durability and compactness.

While the CGA 680 fitting fits high-pressure Helium cylinders, the flow gauge is likely calibrated specifically for Argon/CO2 mixes. Using it with Helium would require a conversion factor for accurate flow readings.

Check the label on your gas cylinder. If the fill pressure exceeds 3,000 PSI, it will likely have a CGA 680 valve, requiring a high-pressure regulator like this one.

Harris Products Group typically offers a 7-year warranty on their industrial regulators, covering defects in material and workmanship.

The encapsulated seat integrates the filter and seat into one unit. This design prevents contaminants from entering the high-pressure seat area, which is the most common cause of regulator failure and creep.
