1424=0290 - Victor 2.5-Inch Acetylene Delivery Gauge, 0-30 PSI, Gold Face

Victor 1424-0290 Replacement Acetylene Gauge

The Victor 1424-0290 is a premium replacement pressure gauge designed specifically for the low-pressure (delivery) side of acetylene regulators. Manufactured by Victor Technologies, a leader in gas control equipment, this gauge ensures that your industrial regulators continue to operate with precision and safety. The unit features a substantial 2-1/2 inch dial diameter, which is standard for heavy-duty industrial regulators, providing a larger viewing area compared to compact 2-inch models. This size is critical for workshops where operators need to glance at pressure settings from a distance.

Technically, the gauge is calibrated for a range of 0 to 30 PSI (pounds per square inch). This range is tailored for acetylene delivery, where working pressures rarely exceed 15 PSI due to the chemical instability of the gas at higher pressures. To address this safety constraint, the gauge face includes a distinct "Red Arc" starting at the 15 PSI mark. This visual indicator serves as a constant passive safety warning to the welder, signaling the danger zone for acetylene usage. The "Gold Tint" face is not merely aesthetic; it provides a high-contrast background against the black markings and needle, improving legibility in dim or harsh shop lighting.

Inventory managers and procurement specialists should note that this SKU (1424-0290) is a direct OEM replacement part for various Victor regulator series. Maintaining the integrity of gas equipment with genuine parts is essential for compliance and longevity. The gauge is built with a robust internal brass movement to withstand the vibrations and minor shocks common in industrial environments. It is supplied as a single unit, ready for installation on compatible regulator bodies.
