0386-0875 - TurboTorch GP250 Nitrogen Purge and Pressure Test Regulator 0-500 PSI

Essential Nitrogen Control for HVAC Professionals

The TurboTorch 0386-0875 GP250-500-580 High Pressure Nitrogen Purge Regulator is a critical tool for HVAC/R technicians and pipefitters who demand precision and reliability. Nitrogen purging is a mandatory step in the installation and repair of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. By displacing oxygen inside the copper lines during brazing, this regulator helps prevent the formation of cupric oxide scale, which can otherwise contaminate the system and lead to premature compressor failure or clogged metering devices.

This regulator is not just for purging; its high-pressure delivery capability of up to 500 PSIG makes it an excellent choice for pressure testing systems to identify leaks before charging with refrigerant. The unit features a standard CGA 580 inlet connection, ensuring compatibility with standard nitrogen cylinders found in the industry. The robust design includes large, easy-to-read gauges that allow technicians to monitor both the tank pressure and the delivery pressure at a glance, ensuring safety and accuracy on the job site.

Built by TurboTorch, a leader in brazing and soldering equipment, the GP250 series is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily field use. The adjustment knob is designed for smooth operation, allowing for fine-tuning of pressure whether you are flowing a gentle stream for purging or ramping up pressure for a standing test. Investing in a quality nitrogen regulator like the GP250-500-580 ensures that your system installations meet industry standards for cleanliness and integrity.

Key Applications

• Nitrogen Purging: Displacing oxygen during brazing to prevent oxidation scale.
• Pressure Testing: Pressurizing lines up to 500 PSI to check for leaks in HVAC systems.
• System Flushing: Blowing out debris or contaminants from line sets.
• Calibration: Providing stable pressure for pneumatic testing applications.
