PWORMD - Economy Oxygen Regulator CGA-540 for Oxy-Fuel Welding

Reliable Oxygen Control for Industrial Applications

The Economy Oxygen Regulator CGA-540 is engineered to provide consistent and safe gas flow control for a variety of oxy-fuel applications. Designed with the cost-conscious professional in mind, this regulator balances affordability with the essential performance metrics required for industrial environments. It features a standard CGA-540 inlet connection, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of industrial oxygen cylinders found in fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and construction sites across North America.

Constructed from durable brass, the body of the regulator is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. Brass is the material of choice for gas regulation due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and its non-sparking properties, which are critical when handling high-pressure oxygen. The unit is equipped with a sintered bronze inlet filter, a crucial component that traps particulate matter and debris from the cylinder, preventing them from entering the regulator seat and causing leaks or creep. This feature significantly extends the service life of the regulator and maintains accuracy over time.

Operational safety and precision are paramount. This model includes dual gauges: one to monitor the remaining pressure in the cylinder and another to display the delivery pressure to the torch. The gauges are designed with high-contrast faces for easy readability, even in dimly lit workshop environments. The pressure adjustment knob is ergonomically designed to allow for smooth, granular changes to the outlet pressure, enabling the operator to fine-tune the flame for cutting, welding, or brazing tasks. Furthermore, an internal safety relief valve is integrated into the design to automatically vent excess pressure should a malfunction occur, protecting both the equipment and the operator.

This economy regulator is an ideal choice for light-to-medium duty applications. While it is priced aggressively, it does not compromise on the fundamental safety standards required for compressed gas equipment. It serves as an excellent primary regulator for general fabrication or as a reliable backup unit for mobile repair trucks and maintenance crews.
