0386-0726 - Victor TurboTorch AR-MC Acetylene Regulator CGA-200

Precision Medium Duty Regulator for MC Tanks

The Victor TurboTorch AR-MC (0386-0726) is a high-performance medium-duty acetylene regulator designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional welders, plumbers, and HVAC specialists. As part of the renowned TurboTorch line, this regulator is synonymous with quality and reliability in air-fuel applications. It is specifically engineered to mount directly onto MC-style acetylene cylinders, utilizing a CGA-200 inlet connection that ensures a safe and proper seal every time.

This single-stage regulator features a machined brass body that offers superior durability compared to lighter-weight alternatives. The internal mechanism provides a steady delivery pressure ranging from 0 to 15 psig, which is the safe operating limit for acetylene gas. This range is ideal for the majority of soldering, brazing, and light heating applications encountered in the field. The regulator does not include a delivery pressure gauge, as the low-pressure range is typically managed via the torch valve and the regulator's adjusting knob, but it does include a high-visibility contents gauge. This allows the operator to monitor fuel levels at a glance, improving workflow efficiency and planning.

The outlet connection is a 3/8"-24 Left Hand male thread, which is the industry standard for smaller diameter acetylene hoses (often referred to as "A" fittings). This ensures compatibility with a wide range of existing torch handles and hose sets. The pressure adjustment knob is designed for tactile feedback, allowing for fine-tuning of the flame even while wearing work gloves. The regulator's compact profile (measuring approximately 2.9 x 6.3 x 6.4 inches) makes it an excellent choice for "tote" style kits where space is at a premium.

Professionals choose the AR-MC for its blend of portability and performance. Unlike adaptors or generic regulators, this unit is purpose-built for the specific flow characteristics and safety requirements of acetylene. By maintaining a stable arc of gas flow, it ensures a consistent flame structure, which is critical for achieving leak-proof braze joints and clean solder lines. Upgrade your portable rig with the Victor TurboTorch AR-MC and experience the difference in control and durability.
