The Victor EST4-40-024R EDGE 2.0 Station Regulator (SKU: 0781-5204) is a premium heavy-duty gas control device engineered specifically for industrial facilities utilizing bulk gas piping systems. Unlike cylinder regulators that mount directly to high-pressure tanks, this station regulator is designed to attach to station drops (outlets) on a low-pressure pipeline network. It provides precise reduction and control of acetylene pressure at the point of use, ensuring safe and consistent flow for oxy-fuel cutting, welding, and heating applications.
Part of the renowned EDGE 2.0 Series, the EST4 incorporates advanced safety and durability features that set the standard in the industry. The most notable innovation is the SLAM (Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism) technology built into the adjusting knob. This multi-stage crumple zone is engineered to absorb impact energy in the event of a fall or collision, protecting the regulator's internal components and the pipeline connection from damage. Additionally, the regulator features a high-strength alloy gauge guard that shields the delivery pressure gauge, significantly reducing the frequency of gauge replacement due to accidental breakage.
Technical specifications for the EST4-40-024R include a delivery pressure range of 2-40 PSIG, making it suitable for a wide variety of fuel gas applications. The inlet connection is a standard 7/8"-14 M nut and nipple configuration, compatible with most industrial station drops, while the outlet is a CGA-standard 9/16"-18 LH (Left Hand) connection for acetylene hoses. The unit is color-coded with a red knob and labeling to ensure immediate visual identification as a fuel gas device, enhancing shop safety. Internal components are protected by a sintered inlet filter that traps particulates often found in older piping systems, preventing seat contamination and creep.
This regulator is an essential component for shipyards, fabrication plants, and training centers where safety, reliability, and low maintenance costs are critical. By utilizing the EST4, facility managers ensure that their gas distribution system delivers optimal performance while minimizing the risks associated with equipment damage in harsh working environments.
