OVERVIEW

Victor 1429-0057 Red Gauge Guard for 450 Series

Keep your Victor heavy-duty regulators in prime condition with the Victor 1429-0057 Gauge Guard. Designed for the professional welder who knows that gear takes a beating in the shop and on the truck, this steel guard is the best way to stop replacing broken gauges. It is specifically built to fit Victor SR450 and VTS450 series regulators equipped with 2-1/2 inch gauges. If you are running a heavy-duty Acetylene setup, this red guard is the correct color-coded safety addition to your rig.

Built Tough for the Job Site

Regulators are precision instruments, but they often live in harsh environments. A tipped cylinder or a swinging tool can easily crack a gauge lens or bend the internal mechanism, rendering the regulator unsafe or unusable. This Victor gauge guard is made from tough, heavy-duty steel that absorbs impacts so your gauges don't have to. The high-gloss red finish isn't just for looks; it resists chipping and corrosion while clearly identifying your equipment as Fuel/Acetylene service, helping you maintain a safe and organized workspace.

Easy Installation and Secure Fit

You don't need to take your regulator apart to install this protection. The guard features a simple, single heavy-duty nut and bolt mounting design. It clamps securely around the regulator body, creating a rigid cage that sits proud of the gauge faces. This means if the regulator falls face-forward, the steel guard hits the ground, not the glass. The design is optimized for the 450 Series body style, ensuring it won't rattle or slip during transport.
