Turbo Torch 0386-0813 Nitrogen Purging Regulator

Product Description

The TURBO TORCH 0386-0813 is a single-stage nitrogen purging regulator designed for high-capacity HVAC and brazing applications. It delivers a 0 to 250 psig output pressure range and accepts inlet pressures up to 4,000 psig on both high-pressure and low-pressure gauges. The CGA-580 inlet connection mates directly to standard nitrogen cylinders. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics use this regulator when purging copper lines during brazing to prevent oxidation scale inside the tubing. It is TC Certified and sold as a single unit.

This regulator is built for high-capacity nitrogen purging in residential and commercial HVAC installation and service work. During brazing operations, flowing dry nitrogen through the copper refrigerant lines displaces oxygen and prevents the formation of copper oxide scale that can contaminate compressors, TXV valves, and metering devices. The 0386-0813 handles the flow demands of larger line sets and multi-circuit jobs where a low-capacity regulator would be inadequate.

Key Features

• 0 to 250 psig delivery pressure range for controlled nitrogen flow during purging
• 4,000 psig rated inlet gauges for direct use with full nitrogen cylinders
• CGA-580 inlet connection matches standard nitrogen cylinder valves
• Single-stage regulation provides consistent outlet pressure
• TC Certified for use in Canada and compliant trade environments
• Model 245-02P configuration for high-capacity service work

Compatibility

Designed for use with nitrogen gas service via CGA-580 cylinder connections in HVAC brazing and purging applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified refrigeration mechanic. Always verify the cylinder valve is fully closed before attaching or removing the regulator. Hand-tighten the CGA-580 connection first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten. Keep the regulator outlet capped when not in service to prevent contamination of the seat and diaphragm.
