OVERVIEW

Victor EDGE ESS4: The Professional's Choice for Inert Gas Regulation

Upgrade your gas equipment with the Victor EDGE ESS4 Series Heavy Capacity Regulator (0781-5144). Known in the industry as the new standard for regulator design, the EDGE series moves away from the vulnerable, protruding gauges of the past and introduces a streamlined, armored profile. This model is specifically configured with a CGA 580 connection, making it compatible with standard inert gas cylinders containing Argon, Nitrogen, or Helium. With a delivery range optimized for heavy-duty applications (up to 125 PSIG), it provides the versatility needed for everything from high-pressure purging to standard welding operations.

Revolutionary Design and Engineering

The Victor EDGE regulator is easily improved by its user-centric engineering. The High Impact ABS Gauge Guard is not just a cover; it is an integral part of the regulator's structure, shielding the gauges from the inevitable knocks and drops of a busy workshop. The internal architecture features a straight-through flow path which improves flow performance and reduces the drop-off typically seen as cylinder pressure decreases. This ensures that your set pressure remains stable from a full cylinder down to the empty mark, providing consistent results without constant readjustment.

Key Technical Specifications

The 0781-5144 model is packed with features that technical users demand:

  • Body Construction: Forged brass for superior strength.
  • Housing Cap: Zinc-Aluminum alloy, twice the yield strength of brass.
  • Filtration: Sintered inlet filter (nickel-plated bronze) to stop debris.
  • Safety: Passes the ASTM G-175 promoted ignition test; includes an external relief valve.
  • Ergonomics: The SLAM knob is easy to grip, even with gloves, and color-coded for quick gas identification.

Why Choose the ESS4 Series?

For welders and fabricators, equipment reliability is paramount. A broken regulator means stopped work and lost revenue. The Victor EDGE ESS4 is built to survive the harshest environments, from offshore rigs to local fab shops. Its heavy capacity classification means it can handle higher flow rates than standard medium-duty regulators, making it suitable for automated welding cells or manifold systems where demand is high. By integrating the gauges into the body profile and reinforcing the adjustment mechanism, Victor has created a regulator that is as tough as the welders who use it.

Invest in the Victor 0781-5144 for a regulator that offers precise control, ultimate safety, and a design that stands up to the real-world abuse of the welding industry.

FAQ

This regulator is equipped with a CGA 580 inlet connection, which is the standard fitting for Inert Gases such as Argon, Nitrogen, and Helium.

The ESS4-125-580 model typically has a delivery pressure range of 5 to 125 PSIG, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications.

The EDGE series features a unique design where the gauges are recessed and protected by a high-impact ABS guard, preventing the common issue of broken gauges. It also features the SLAM safety knob.

SLAM stands for Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism. It is a specially designed adjustment knob that absorbs impact energy if a cylinder falls, protecting the regulator stem and valve.

Yes, the ESS4 series is classified as 'Heavy Capacity,' meaning it is designed to handle higher flow rates and harsher environments compared to medium-duty models.

Yes, it includes a sintered inlet filter made of nickel-plated bronze to prevent dirt and debris from entering the regulator and damaging the seat.

No. This regulator has a CGA 580 connection for inert gases. Oxygen cylinders use a CGA 540 connection. Never use an adapter to force a connection for a different gas service.

The Victor EDGE ESS4 meets or exceeds CGA E-4, UL 252, and the rigorous ASTM G-175 Promoted Ignition Test.
