Victor EDGE 2.0 ESS42 Industrial Air Regulator: Precision and Durability

The Victor EDGE 2.0 ESS42 Industrial Air Regulator (0781-3614) represents the pinnacle of gas control technology for heavy-duty industrial applications. Designed to replace the legacy ESS4 series, this second-generation regulator incorporates advanced engineering to deliver consistent flow and pressure control for industrial air cylinders equipped with CGA 590 connections. With a delivery range of 5-150 PSIG, it is perfectly suited for powering pneumatic tools, shop air systems, and other high-demand air applications.

At the core of the EDGE 2.0 is a robust stainless steel diaphragm, rigorously tested to withstand over 50,000 endurance cycles—five times the industry standard. This ensures exceptional longevity and stable pressure regulation, even under fluctuating inlet conditions. The regulator features a single-stage, heavy-duty forged brass body that provides the durability required for harsh shop environments. The internal architecture includes a dual-filtration system, utilizing a primary sintered filter and a secondary diffuser to trap contaminants before they reach the seat, significantly reducing the risk of failure or fire.

Safety is paramount in the design of the ESS42. The patented SLAM (Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism) knob utilizes a multi-stage crumple zone to absorb impact energy in the event of a cylinder fall, protecting the regulator's vital components. Furthermore, the outlet is positioned at the rear of the body, directing the hose downward and away from the operator. This configuration minimizes the risk of hose entanglement and potential injury. The large, 2.5-inch delivery gauge features a high-contrast face, making it easy to monitor pressure levels at a glance. Backed by Victor's lifetime warranty, this regulator is the definitive choice for professionals seeking reliability and performance.
