OVERVIEW

Reliable Heavy Duty Acetylene Regulation

The Flametech Heavy Duty Acetylene Regulator (Model FTVHAR-21) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking, fabrication, and construction. Designed as a direct, high-quality replacement for Victor-style regulators, this unit provides exceptional performance and durability at a competitive price point. It is specifically configured with a CGA 300 inlet connection, making it suitable for commercial acetylene cylinders commonly found in heavy industry and manufacturing facilities.

Robust Construction for Industrial Safety

Safety and longevity are paramount in gas regulation equipment. This Flametech regulator features a forged brass body and bonnet, offering superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical impact compared to lighter-duty alternatives. The internal mechanism includes a stainless steel diaphragm that ensures consistent delivery pressure even as the cylinder pressure fluctuates. A sintered bronze inlet filter acts as a first line of defense, trapping particulate matter and preventing it from entering the regulator seat, which significantly extends the service life of the unit and reduces maintenance downtime.

Precision and Compatibility

Operators will appreciate the large, 2.5-inch gauges that provide clear, easy-to-read measurements for both cylinder contents and delivery pressure. The color-coded adjustment knob allows for quick identification and smooth pressure setting, ensuring precise flame control for cutting, heating, and welding processes. With a standard 9/16"-18 Left-Hand outlet, this regulator easily connects to standard Grade R or Grade T twin hoses, integrating seamlessly into your existing oxy-fuel setups. Whether you are outfitting a new shop or replacing aging equipment, the Flametech VHAR-21 delivers the reliability Josef Gas customers expect.

FAQ

CGA 300 and CGA 510 are different valve connection standards for acetylene cylinders. CGA 300 is typically found on commercial acetylene cylinders and uses a cone-shaped connection. CGA 510 (often called POL) is common on smaller tanks or different supplier cylinders. You must match the regulator CGA number to your specific cylinder valve.

Yes, this Flametech regulator is a 'Victor Style' unit. It functions similarly to Victor heavy-duty regulators and uses standard 9/16"-18 Left-Hand hose connections, making it fully compatible with Victor torches and hoses.

The maximum delivery pressure is 15 PSIG. This is the industry safety standard for acetylene gas, as it becomes unstable at pressures above 15 PSI.

No. This regulator is specifically designed and calibrated for Acetylene (CGA 300). Propane requires a different regulator with a CGA 510 connection and internal components compatible with LPG.

No, this regulator is sold as a standalone unit. Flashback arrestors are highly recommended for safety and should be purchased separately and installed at the regulator outlet or torch inlet.

Heavy Duty regulators are recommended if you are using large heating tips, cutting thick steel (over 1 inch), or using the equipment daily in rough environments. They provide higher flow rates and are more durable than medium or light-duty models.

The diaphragm is typically made of stainless steel or a durable neoprene composite, designed to withstand the rigors of high-pressure regulation and provide a long service life.

As with all fuel gas regulators, the outlet thread is Left-Hand (LH) to prevent accidental connection to oxygen hoses. The size is the standard 'B' size 9/16"-18.
