By installing the Victor 1429-0056, facilities can drastically reduce the frequency of these repairs. The guard is designed to accommodate regulators equipped with 2-1/2 inch gauges, offering ample clearance while maintaining a compact profile. Installation is straightforward, utilizing a single heavy-duty nut and bolt mounting system that secures the guard firmly to the regulator body without interfering with pressure adjustment or hose connections.
