The Victor EDGE 2.0 Series ESS42-150-540 is a second-generation, heavy-duty single-stage cylinder regulator designed to reset the standard for industrial gas control. Engineered for high-capacity applications, this regulator (SKU: 0781-3601) provides a delivery pressure range of 5 to 150 PSIG, making it ideal for a wide variety of fabrication, construction, and maintenance tasks. It features a CGA 540 inlet connection, compatible with standard industrial oxygen cylinders, and a 9/16"-18 RH male outlet.
At the core of the EDGE 2.0's performance is a robust stainless steel diaphragm. Unlike traditional neoprene diaphragms, this stainless steel component has been tested to 50,000 endurance cycles—five times the industry standard—ensuring exceptional longevity and consistent pressure delivery even under fluctuating inlet pressures. The regulator body is constructed from forged brass, capped with a high-strength Zinc-Aluminum alloy housing that provides superior durability in harsh industrial environments.
Safety is paramount in the design of the ESS42. It incorporates Victor's patented SLAM (Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism) technology. The adjusting knob is designed with a three-stage crumple zone that absorbs the impact energy in the event of a cylinder fall, protecting the regulator's vital internal components and reducing the risk of gas leaks or ejection. Furthermore, the regulator has passed the stringent ASTM G-175 promoted ignition test, demonstrating the highest resistance to oxygen-related fires in the industry. The design also includes an external self-reseating relief valve and a sintered bronze inlet filter to trap contaminants.
Operational efficiency is enhanced through the user-friendly design. The regulator features extra-large 2.5-inch (63.5 mm) delivery gauges with high-contrast colored faces, allowing operators to read settings easily from a distance. The color-coded knob (green for oxygen) and gauge guards provide immediate visual identification of the gas service, reducing the likelihood of setup errors. The outlet is positioned to point downward and towards the rear, routing hoses away from the user for a safer workspace.
