1424=0516 - Victor 1-1/2 Inch 50 CFM Replacement Flow Gauge Back Mount

Technical Overview of the Victor 1424-0516 Flow Gauge

The Victor 1424-0516 is a precision replacement flow gauge designed for industrial gas regulators and flowmeters. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of welding and cutting environments, this gauge provides accurate readings of gas flow rates, specifically calibrated in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM). The unit features a compact 1-1/2 inch dial diameter, making it suitable for standard regulator bodies where space is often at a premium. The scale typically reads up to 50 CFM, providing a broad range of measurement suitable for various shielding gas applications including MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding processes.

Constructed with a durable black case, the gauge is designed to withstand the vibration and minor impacts common in industrial settings. The connection is a standard 1/8 inch NPT back mount, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of Victor regulator housings and manifolds. The rear-entry design allows the gauge to sit flush against the regulator body, minimizing the profile and reducing the risk of snagging or damage. The internal mechanism is built to maintain calibration over time, ensuring that operators can rely on the displayed flow rate for critical process control.

Proper gas flow is essential for weld quality; insufficient flow leads to porosity and oxidation, while excessive flow causes turbulence and gas waste. This gauge provides the visual feedback necessary for technicians to dial in the exact flow requirements specified by welding procedures. As a genuine Victor replacement part, it ensures seamless integration with existing equipment, maintaining the safety and performance standards expected of the Victor brand. Whether used for maintenance repair and operations (MRO) or as a stock replacement part, the 1424-0516 offers reliability and clarity in gas flow monitoring.
