0781-3594 - Victor VTS261B-510 Two-Stage LP Gas Regulator | 2-40 PSIG | CGA 510

Victor VTS261B-510: Reliable Two-Stage LP Gas Regulation

For welders and fabricators who demand consistency in their flame applications, the Victor VTS261B-510 (0781-3594) offers a superior solution for managing Liquid Propane (LP) gas. This medium-duty regulator utilizes a sophisticated two-stage design that effectively eliminates the "drift" often experienced with single-stage regulators. As your propane tank pressure drops during use, a standard regulator might allow the output pressure to creep up or fluctuate, requiring constant readjustment at the torch. The VTS261B-510 automatically compensates for these changes, delivering a rock-steady flow of fuel gas so you can focus on your work, not your equipment.

Built for the Shop Environment

Victor has constructed this regulator with the durability needed for busy workshops and job sites. The body and housing cap are forged from high-quality brass, providing excellent strength and resistance to impact. Inside, a fabric-reinforced neoprene diaphragm (available in 1.3" and 1.75" sizes depending on the specific stage) ensures accurate response to pressure changes and long service life. The regulator also features 2-inch steel gauges that are easy to read, allowing you to quickly verify your settings and tank levels at a glance.

Smooth Operation and Safety

Adjusting your gas flow is smoother than ever thanks to the Delrin insert bushing and stainless ball key mechanism. This design reduces friction, allowing for precise preset adjustments within the 2 - 40 PSIG delivery range. The unit connects via a standard CGA 510 fitting, the industry standard for propane and acetylene tanks (note: this model is specifically calibrated for LP gas). It also includes an external self-reseating relief valve, adding an extra layer of safety to your setup. With a maximum inlet pressure rating of 350 PSIG, it is perfectly matched for standard LP cylinders.

Why Choose Two-Stage?

While single-stage regulators are sufficient for short-term use, two-stage regulators like the VTS261B-510 are the professional choice for extended operation. By stepping down the pressure in two distinct stages, the regulator isolates the final delivery pressure from the high-pressure fluctuations of the tank. This results in a consistent flame characteristic that improves cut quality, brazing consistency, and overall process control. Invest in the Victor VTS261B-510 for a hassle-free, high-performance gas delivery system.
