0781-3660 - Victor HRF2480P-320 Pro Series CO2 Flowmeter Regulator, CGA 320, 0-70 CFH

Victor HRF2480P-320 Pro Series Flowmeter Regulator Overview

The Victor 0781-3660 HRF2480P-320 is a high-performance flowmeter regulator engineered for precision control of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in industrial welding applications. Part of the HRF 2400 Pro Series, this unit is designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty fabrication, offering a flow capacity of up to 70 CFH. This high flow rate makes it suitable for a wide range of MIG (GMAW) and Flux-Cored (FCAW) welding processes where CO2 is utilized as the shielding gas. The regulator features a CGA 320 inlet connection, ensuring direct compatibility with standard CO2 cylinders without the need for adapters.

Technically, the HRF2480P-320 is built to handle a maximum inlet pressure of 3000 PSIG. The core advantage of this Pro Series model lies in its redesigned flow tube and housing. The scale is rotatable and features enlarged, bold print, significantly improving readability in diverse lighting conditions typical of shop floors. By providing a clear visual indication of flow, operators can maintain precise gas settings, ensuring weld quality while minimizing the consumption of shielding gas. The internal mechanism is optimized for CO2 service, addressing the specific density and flow characteristics of the gas to prevent freezing and fluctuation often seen in lesser quality regulators.

Durability is a key focus of the Victor HRF 2400 Pro Series. The body is constructed from machined brass, offering resistance to corrosion and mechanical impact. The flow tube is protected by a robust outer housing to prevent damage during cylinder changeouts or accidental knocks. This package includes a 10-foot gas hose, providing immediate utility and flexibility in positioning the welding power source relative to the gas supply. For facility managers and welding engineers, the HRF2480P-320 represents a reliable solution for standardizing gas delivery equipment across CO2-based welding stations.
