When precision matters in your welding or fabrication setup, the Victor 0781-3509 VTS250C-580 Regulator delivers the consistency you need. Designed for inert gases such as Argon and Nitrogen, this medium-duty two-stage regulator is an essential tool for applications requiring stable shielding gas flow or precise back-purging. Unlike single-stage regulators that require frequent adjustment as your gas cylinder drains, the VTS250C-580 maintains your set delivery pressure automatically, allowing you to focus on the weld rather than the equipment.
For welders and fabricators, consistency is key to quality. A two-stage regulator functions like two regulators in one body: the first stage drops the high cylinder pressure to a fixed intermediate pressure, and the second stage reduces it to your desired working pressure. This mechanical advantage means that as the pressure in your tank drops from 3000 PSI down to 500 PSI, your output remains rock-steady at your set point (e.g., 40 PSI). This eliminates the need to constantly tweak the knob to prevent flow drop-off or surges, ensuring a uniform shield and reducing gas waste.
Victor has equipped the VTS 250 series with features that make operation smooth and reliable. The adjusting screw features a Delrin insert bushing and a stainless steel ball, making pressure adjustments effortless and precise. The large 2-inch steel gauges are easy to read, displaying both cylinder contents and delivery pressure clearly. The outlet connection is a standard 5/8"-18 RH(F), making it compatible with most standard inert gas hoses and flowmeters used in the industry. Whether you are TIG welding exotic alloys or performing leak testing with Nitrogen, this regulator provides the control you need.
Safety is paramount in high-pressure gas equipment. The VTS250C-580 includes an external self-reseating relief valve and a die-forged brass body that exceeds industry standards for strength. The adjusting spring is pretested for quality assurance, and the precision-machined nozzle ensures optimum flow control. With a maximum inlet pressure rating of 3000 PSIG and a flow coefficient (Cv) of 0.082, this regulator is a workhorse capable of handling medium to high-capacity general-purpose applications with ease.
