Turbo Torch 0426-2000 Nitrogen Purge Regulator

Product Description

The TURBO TORCH 0426-2000 is a nitrogen purging regulator designed for use during copper pipe brazing in HVAC and light fabrication applications. When copper is heated during brazing, oxygen in the line causes oxidation. Those oxidized flakes break free and circulate through the system, damaging bearings and fouling filters. A continuous low-pressure, low-volume nitrogen flow through the pipe during brazing prevents that oxidation from forming. This regulator delivers that controlled nitrogen flow and also helps reduce residual moisture in the system, lowering the time required for evacuation after the work is complete. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers.

This regulator is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC work as well as light fabrication tasks where copper tubing is brazed and nitrogen purging is required. It connects to a nitrogen cylinder and introduces dry nitrogen gas into the pipe being brazed to displace oxygen at the joint. Keeping oxidation out of the refrigerant circuit at the time of installation is a standard practice per industry brazing guidelines and is required by many equipment manufacturers to maintain warranty compliance.

Key Features

• Controls low-pressure, low-volume nitrogen flow for effective purging during copper brazing
• Minimizes oxidation scale inside copper refrigerant and plumbing lines
• Helps reduce system moisture, lowering evacuation time after brazing
• Protects bearings and system filters from circulating oxidized debris
• Suited for HVAC service and light fabrication applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with nitrogen gas cylinders in HVAC copper pipe brazing and light fabrication applications where nitrogen purging is required.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this regulator should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic familiar with nitrogen purging procedures. Always confirm the nitrogen cylinder valve is fully closed before attaching or removing the regulator. Use only dry nitrogen gas rated for HVAC purging — never substitute compressed air or oxygen. Follow applicable local codes and equipment manufacturer brazing requirements when purging refrigerant line sets.
