OVERVIEW

Reliable Shielding Gas Control for Precision Welding

The Generic 190AR-50 Flow Regulator is designed to provide welders with accurate control over their shielding gas coverage, a critical component in producing high-quality MIG and TIG welds. Engineered for use with Argon and Argon-based mixtures, this regulator features a standard CGA 580 inlet connection, making it compatible with the vast majority of high-pressure Argon cylinders found in industrial and workshop settings.

Maintaining the correct flow rate is essential for preventing porosity and ensuring a stable arc. This unit offers an adjustable flow range of 0 to 50 Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH), allowing operators to fine-tune the gas output based on the specific requirements of their welding joint, cup size, and draft conditions. The clear, easy-to-read gauge face eliminates guesswork, enabling quick verification of settings at a glance.

Constructed from durable brass, the body of the regulator is built to withstand the rigors of daily shop use. It resists corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life even in demanding environments. The outlet connection is a standard 5/8"-18 RH female fitting, ensuring seamless compatibility with standard inert gas welding hoses. Whether you are setting up a new welding station or replacing an aging regulator, this generic model offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on the essential performance needed for professional results.

Key Benefits:

  • Versatility: Suitable for both MIG and TIG applications using Argon or Argon/CO2 blends.
  • Precision: Smooth adjustment mechanism for dialing in exact flow rates up to 50 CFH.
  • Compatibility: Fits standard CGA 580 cylinder valves and standard gas hoses.
  • Value: Provides professional-grade functionality at a budget-friendly price point.

FAQ

A flow regulator typically uses a gauge to indicate flow rate based on pressure through a calibrated orifice, while a flowmeter uses a vertical tube with a floating ball to measure actual flow. This unit is a flow regulator with a gauge.

No, this regulator has a CGA 580 connection designed for Argon, Nitrogen, and Helium. CO2 cylinders typically require a CGA 320 connection.

The ideal flow rate depends on your welding process, cup size, and environment. A common starting point for MIG/TIG is between 15-25 CFH. This regulator allows adjustment up to 50 CFH.

It fits all standard high-pressure Argon cylinders that are equipped with a CGA 580 valve, which is the industry standard in North America.

The regulator comes with a standard 5/8"-18 RH female fitting, which is the standard connection for inert gas hoses used in the welding industry.

Yes, as long as the required flow rate is within the 0-50 CFH range and the gas used is compatible with the CGA 580 connection (like Argon or Nitrogen).

The body is constructed from brass, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
