5641-8464 - Victor Meco P-Series High Pressure Regulator, 150 PSI Delivery, 5500 PSI Inlet

Precision Engineering for High-Pressure Gas Control

The Victor 5641-8464 Meco High Pressure "P" Regulator represents a pinnacle in gas control technology for the most demanding industrial sectors. Specifically engineered for the oil and gas industry, this regulator is built to manage inlet pressures that would compromise standard equipment. With a maximum inlet pressure rating of 5500 PSIG, it provides a robust solution for high-pressure manifold systems, cylinder banks, and process lines where safety and reliability are non-negotiable. The unit is designed with a 1/4"-18 NPT inlet connection, offering flexibility for integration into piped infrastructure rather than limiting connection to specific cylinder valves.

Advanced Design Features

At the heart of the Meco "P" series is a positive pressure yoke-type mechanism. This design differs from conventional nozzle-and-stem regulators, offering superior stability and resistance to flutter under varying flow conditions. A critical component of this assembly is the stainless steel diaphragm. Unlike elastomeric diaphragms that can degrade over time or absorb contaminants, the stainless steel construction ensures a non-contaminating gas path and exceptional resistance to corrosion. This makes the regulator suitable not only for standard industrial gases but also for specialty gas applications where purity and material compatibility are essential concerns.

Extended Service Life and Maintenance

One of the most innovative features of the Victor 5641-8464 is its multi-seat 4-way seat block. In high-use environments, the regulator seat is often the first component to fail due to wear or debris. The Meco P regulator addresses this by incorporating a block with four distinct sealing surfaces. When one surface wears, the operator can simply rotate the block to a new position, effectively quadrupling the lifespan of the seat assembly before a replacement part is needed. This design significantly reduces maintenance downtime and operational costs. Combined with a T-screw adjusting mechanism for precise pressure setting up to 150 PSI, this regulator offers a blend of durability, precision, and longevity that is unmatched in its class.
