OVERVIEW

Technical Overview: Victor Medalist 250 (CGA-300)

The Victor Medalist 250 Acetylene Outfit (SKU: 0384-2581) is a robust medium-duty system designed for industrial fabrication, structural steel work, and general maintenance applications. This specific configuration is distinguished by its CGA-300 acetylene regulator connection, which is designed for acetylene cylinders with male valve threads (commercial acetylene). It is not compatible with CGA-510 or CGA-520 valves without an adapter.

System Components and Capabilities

At the core of this outfit is the WH411C Torch Handle and CA411-3 Cutting Attachment. The WH411C is engineered from a specialized high-strength alloy that offers superior durability compared to standard brass handles, while also featuring an ergonomic grip to minimize operator fatigue. Safety is enhanced through built-in check valves within the handle. The system includes the G250 series regulators (G250-150-540 for Oxygen and G250-15-300 for Acetylene), which utilize high-contrast gauges and color-coded knobs for immediate gas identification and precise pressure adjustment.

Performance Specifications

Out of the box, the Medalist 250 is configured to cut 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) steel using the included 0-3-101 cutting tip and weld 5/64-inch (2.0 mm) material with the 0-UM-250 welding nozzle. With the purchase of optional tips and nozzles, the system's capacity expands significantly to cut up to 5 inches (127 mm) and weld up to 1.25 inches (31.8 mm). The included 20-foot twin hose is RM-grade, specifically rated for acetylene gas, ensuring compliance and safety.

Compatibility Note

Operators must verify their acetylene cylinder valve type before purchasing. This unit comes with a CGA-300 regulator nipple and nut. If your cylinder requires a CGA-510 (standard POL) or CGA-200 (MC) connection, this regulator will not fit directly. This attention to fitting detail ensures a secure, leak-free connection for safe operation in professional environments.

FAQ

CGA-300 is designed for acetylene cylinders with male valve threads (cone shaped). CGA-510 is for cylinders with female valve threads. This kit (0384-2581) comes with a CGA-300 regulator. You must check your tank valve to ensure compatibility.

No, not as supplied. The included hose is RM-grade, which is rated for Acetylene only. Propane requires T-grade hose to prevent degradation. Additionally, you would need propane-specific cutting tips (GPN series) and potentially a different regulator setting.

The outfit includes a tip for cutting up to 1/2 inch. However, with optional larger tips (Series 3-101), the torch handle and attachment are capable of cutting steel up to 5 inches thick.

Yes, the WH411C torch handle included in this outfit features built-in check valves to prevent reverse flow. While it does not have external flashback arrestors in the box, the check valves provide a primary layer of safety.

Victor offers a 5-Year Warranty on the G250 regulators, torch handle, and cutting attachment included in this outfit.

Yes, this outfit uses the standard Victor 3-101 series cutting tips and W-series welding nozzles, which are widely available and compatible with other Victor medium-duty torches.

Absolutely. The Medalist 250 is an excellent choice for serious hobbyists. It offers professional-grade quality and safety features without the price tag of the heavy-duty Vanguard series.

No, this is a torch and regulator outfit only. Oxygen and Acetylene cylinders must be purchased or rented separately from your local gas distributor.
