0386-0813 - TurboTorch 245-02P Nitrogen Purge Regulator 0-500 PSIG

Master Your HVAC Installations with TurboTorch

For professional welders and HVAC technicians, the TurboTorch 0386-0813 (Model 245-02P) Nitrogen Purging Regulator is the definitive solution for ensuring clean, leak-free copper line sets. When brazing copper pipes, the presence of oxygen causes oxidation and scale buildup inside the tube. This scale can eventually flake off and clog vital system components, leading to equipment failure. The TurboTorch 245-02P allows you to flow a gentle stream of nitrogen through the lines while brazing, displacing oxygen and eliminating scale formation entirely. This results in a cleaner system and a professional-grade finish that meets all manufacturer warranty requirements.

Dual-Purpose Power: Purging and Testing

One of the standout features of the 245-02P is its impressive delivery range of 0 to 500 PSIG. While many standard regulators top out at lower pressures, this unit gives you the power to perform high-pressure leak tests (pressure testing) on new installations to verify system integrity before charging with refrigerant. This eliminates the need to carry multiple regulators for different tasks. You can dial it down for a low-flow purge during brazing, and then crank it up to test the lines for leaks, all with the same reliable piece of equipment.

Built for the Job Site

Field conditions can be tough on equipment, which is why the TurboTorch nitrogen regulator is built with a heavy-duty brass body and protected gauges. The CGA 580 connection ensures a secure, leak-proof fit with standard nitrogen tanks. The large, easy-to-grip adjustment handle provides precise control over outlet pressure, allowing you to fine-tune the flow to exactly what the job requires. The high-pressure gauge (reading up to 4000 PSIG) keeps you informed of your tank level, so you never run out of gas unexpectedly in the middle of a job.

Reliability You Can Trust

TurboTorch has been a leader in air-fuel and oxy-fuel technology for decades. The 0386-0813 regulator is a testament to their commitment to the HVAC trade. It is designed not just to regulate gas, but to improve your workflow and protect the systems you install. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or just starting in the trade, having a reliable nitrogen regulator is non-negotiable. Choose the TurboTorch 245-02P for its versatility, durability, and the peace of mind that comes with using top-tier tools.
