OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Nitrogen Regulator for the Job Site

When you are out on a rooftop or in a mechanical room, you need gear that works as hard as you do. The TurboTorch SKRP-425 Nitrogen Purging Regulator (0426-2001) is built for the tradesman who needs reliable performance for HVAC and refrigeration applications. Nitrogen is the industry standard for pressure testing and purging, and this regulator is designed to handle the high pressures required to verify system integrity before you charge it with refrigerant. With a delivery capacity of up to 425 PSIG, it gives you the power to locate leaks quickly and confidently.

The SKRP-425 isn't just about pressure; it's about protecting your work. Using this regulator to flow nitrogen while brazing is the best way to ensure a clean system. It effectively pushes out air and moisture, preventing the black soot and scale that kills AC units prematurely. The regulator features a rugged design typical of the TurboTorch and Victor brands, known for their durability in industrial environments. It connects easily to standard nitrogen tanks via a CGA 580 fitting and provides clear readouts on its dual gauges, so you always know exactly how much pressure is in the tank and in the line.

This unit is part of the TurboSkill series, optimized for high-capacity applications where consistency matters. The large adjustment knob is easy to turn, allowing you to dial in the exact pressure needed—whether it's a gentle 2-3 PSI for purging or 400 PSI for a standing pressure test. Don't risk callbacks or equipment failure due to dirty lines or undetected leaks. Equip your truck with the SKRP-425 and ensure every install meets the highest professional standards.

Field-Ready Features

  • Rugged Construction: Brass body and heavy-duty internal components resist wear and tear.
  • Dual Gauge System: clearly displays tank pressure (up to 4000 PSIG) and line pressure (up to 600 PSIG).
  • Standard Fit: CGA 580 connection fits all standard nitrogen cylinders used in the trade.

FAQ

The TurboTorch SKRP-425 has a maximum delivery pressure of 425 PSIG, making it suitable for both purging and pressure testing HVAC systems.

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

No, this regulator is designed for inert gases like Nitrogen. It has a CGA 580 fitting, which will not connect to an Oxygen cylinder (CGA 540), and it is not cleaned for oxygen service.

Nitrogen purging displaces oxygen inside the copper tubing. If oxygen is present during brazing, it reacts with the copper to form scale (oxidation), which can flake off and clog the system's metering devices and filters.

The regulator features a High Pressure (HP) gauge that reads up to 4000 PSIG (for the tank) and a Low Pressure (LP) gauge that reads up to 600 PSIG (for the delivery line).

Yes, the SKRP-425 is part of the TurboSkill series and is designed for HVAC and high-capacity applications requiring reliable flow and pressure control.

No, the TurboTorch 0426-2001 is sold as the regulator only. Hoses and other accessories must be purchased separately.

The SKRP-425 is specifically optimized for higher delivery pressures (up to 425 PSIG) required for pressure testing refrigeration lines, whereas standard welding regulators often have lower delivery pressure limits tailored for shielding gas flow.
