OVERVIEW

TurboTorch NT-55 Nitrogen Cylinder Overview

The TurboTorch NT-55 Nitrogen Cylinder (SKU: 0916-0326) is a professional-grade gas vessel designed to meet the rigorous demands of the HVAC and plumbing industries. Manufactured by Victor under the TurboTorch brand, this cylinder is engineered for durability, safety, and reliability. With a capacity of 55 cubic feet, it provides a substantial supply of nitrogen gas, making it an essential tool for purging copper lines, pressure testing systems for leaks, and clearing blockages in condensate drains.

Safety and compliance are paramount with the NT-55. The cylinder is fully certified by both the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Transport Canada (TC), ensuring it meets all legal and safety requirements for transport and usage across North America. It features a standard CGA-580 valve connection, which is the industry standard for inert gases like nitrogen, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of pressure regulators and flowmeters.

Please note that due to shipping regulations, this cylinder is delivered empty. It must be filled at a local gas supplier before use. The tank's construction is robust enough to withstand the rigors of daily field use while remaining light enough for technicians to maneuver. Whether you are performing a nitrogen braze to prevent oxidation or pressure testing a new VRF system, the TurboTorch NT-55 provides the storage capacity you need in a form factor that works for you.

Key Technical Specifications

The cylinder is designed for high-pressure nitrogen storage. Its 55 cu ft volume is calculated to offer a significant runtime for standard purging operations, reducing the frequency of refill trips compared to smaller 20 or 40 cu ft tanks. The valve assembly is precision-machined to prevent leaks and ensure smooth operation when opening or closing the gas flow.

FAQ

No, the cylinder ships empty to comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping regulations. You must have it filled at a local gas supplier.

You need a regulator with a CGA-580 inlet connection, which is the standard for nitrogen and other inert gases.

The cylinder has a capacity of 55 cubic feet of nitrogen gas when filled to its rated pressure.

Yes, the NT-55 is both DOT (Department of Transportation) and TC (Transport Canada) certified.

While nitrogen is sometimes used for specific welding applications, this tank is most commonly used for HVAC purging. However, if your welding process requires nitrogen and you have a CGA-580 regulator, it can be used.

The TurboTorch part number is 0916-0326.

Yes, these cylinders typically accept a screw-on safety cap to protect the valve during transport.

Most gas suppliers will either fill your owner-tank or exchange it for a filled one, but policies vary by supplier. It is a standard size and connection.
