Victor 1000-0255 Flowmeter Regulator Argon Helium

Product Description

The VICTOR 1000-0255 is a medium-duty, two-gas calibrated flowmeter regulator designed for argon and helium shielding gas applications in MIG and TIG welding. It delivers a flow range of 4 to 18 SCFH for argon and 10 to 50 SCFH for helium, operating at a 25 psig inlet pressure. The inlet fitting is 1/4 inch NPT male and the outlet fitting is 5/8 inch-18 RH female. The flow tube and outer tube are constructed from impact-resistant Lexan polycarbonate, and the cover tube incorporates built-in overpressure protection. Licensed welding technicians and gas equipment professionals handle installation and setup in shop and field environments.

This flowmeter regulator is suited for industrial and general fabrication, light fabrication, structural steel fabrication, and repair and maintenance operations. Its pressure-compensated design minimizes flow surge, making it well matched for low-surge MIG and TIG welding applications where precise, consistent shielding gas delivery is critical to weld quality. It is appropriate for both production shop environments and mobile repair setups where argon or helium coverage is required.

Key Features

• Dual-gas calibration: 4 to 18 SCFH flow range for argon, 10 to 50 SCFH for helium
• 25 psig inlet pressure rating with 1/4 inch NPT male inlet and 5/8 inch-18 RH female outlet
• Flow tube and outer tube made of impact-resistant Lexan for durability in severe service conditions
• Cover tube includes integrated overpressure protection
• Pressure-compensated design for low-surge, stable flow delivery
• Suitable for MIG and TIG welding in industrial, fabrication, and maintenance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a medium-duty OEM-style flowmeter regulator for use with argon and helium shielding gas systems in MIG and TIG welding equipment setups.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welding equipment technician or gas systems professional. Shut off the shielding gas supply at the cylinder valve and relieve line pressure before connecting or disconnecting the regulator. Verify thread type and hand-of-thread on both inlet and outlet fittings before making connections, and use appropriate thread sealant approved for oxygen-free gas service where required. Do not exceed the rated inlet pressure during operation.
