22-80-580 - Miller 20 Series Argon/CO2 Flowmeter Regulator, 10-80 SCFH, CGA 580

Rugged Reliability for Professional Welders

Every welder knows that consistent shielding gas flow is the invisible hand behind a perfect bead. The Miller Electric Argon/CO2 Flowmeter Regulator (22-80-580) is built to ensure that your gas delivery is as steady as your hand. Whether you are TIG welding delicate aluminum or MIG welding heavy steel, this regulator takes the guesswork out of your setup. One of the most frustrating issues with standard flowmeters is trying to read the ball when the lighting in the shop is poor or when you are working a few feet away from the tank. Miller has solved this with a high-visibility green scale background and an extra-long flow tube, making it incredibly easy to check your flow rate at a glance without stopping your work.

We all know that shop environments are tough on gear. Cylinders get knocked, carts get bumped, and equipment falls. That is why the 20 Series features a rugged aluminum housing that wraps around the flow tube, protecting it from accidental damage. The tube itself isn't glass—it's a shatter-resistant polycarbonate that can take a hit without cracking. But the real game-changer is the self-centering ball. On cheaper regulators, if your cart is on an uneven floor or the tank is slightly tipped, the ball floats against the glass, giving you a false reading. You might think you are flowing 20 CFH when you are actually flowing 40, wasting money every minute the arc is lit. Miller’s design keeps the ball centered, so the reading you see is the gas you get, saving you money on refills.

This regulator handles both Argon and CO2 mixes with a flow range of 10-80 SCFH, covering almost every standard welding application. It comes with a standard CGA 580 connection, fitting your typical inert gas cylinders perfectly. Inside, the Sure Seat™ technology filters out dirt and metal shavings that often come from changing tanks, preventing the regulator from leaking or "creeping" over time. Backed by Miller's famous True Blue® 3-Year Warranty, this isn't just a disposable part; it's a long-term investment in your weld quality. Stop guessing your flow rate and start welding with confidence.
