1429-0068 - Victor SR-250 Series Oxygen Regulator Gauge Guard - Green Steel

Heavy-Duty Protection for Industrial Regulators

In the rugged environment of industrial welding and cutting, gas regulators are often the most vulnerable equipment on a cylinder cart. The Victor 250 Series Gauge Guard (1429-0068) is an essential safety accessory designed to shield your precision instruments from the inevitable knocks, drops, and impacts of the job site. Manufactured by Victor, a leader in gas control equipment, this guard is engineered specifically for the popular SR-250 Series Oxygen Regulators.

Robust Steel Construction

Unlike plastic alternatives that may crack under pressure, this gauge guard is fabricated from heavy gauge steel. This durable construction acts as a roll cage for your regulator's gauges, absorbing impact energy that would otherwise shatter the glass lens or damage the internal bourdon tube mechanism. By installing this guard, you are effectively extending the lifespan of your regulator and ensuring consistent, accurate pressure readings over time.

Safety and Identification

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel operations. This guard is finished in a high-visibility green coating, adhering to the standard color-coding system for Oxygen gas service. This visual cue helps operators quickly identify the correct regulator setup, reducing the risk of cross-connection or incorrect usage. The guard's design does not obstruct the view of the pressure dials, ensuring that operators can easily monitor cylinder and working pressures while the equipment remains protected.

Cost-Effective Maintenance

Replacing a damaged regulator gauge involves not just the cost of the part, but also the labor time to replace it and the potential downtime of the welding station. The Victor 1429-0068 Gauge Guard is a proactive investment that pays for itself by preventing these costly repairs. It is an ideal addition for mobile welding rigs, construction sites, and busy fabrication shops where equipment is frequently moved and handled.
