Victor 1000-0262 Flowmeter Regulator Helium Argon

Product Description

The VICTOR 1000-0262 is a medium-duty, two-gas calibration flowmeter regulator designed for helium and argon shielding gas applications. It delivers a flow range of 15 to 70 SCFH for argon and 40 to 200 SCFH for helium, with a 25 psig inlet pressure. The flow tube and outer tube are constructed from impact-resistant Lexan, providing durability in demanding shop environments. The cover tube includes built-in overpressure protection. Licensed welding professionals and gas technicians install this unit on MIG and TIG welding setups where precise shielding gas flow control is required.

This flowmeter regulator is suited for industrial fabrication, light fabrication, structural steel fabrication, and repair and maintenance operations. It is pressure compensated to minimize surge, making it appropriate for both steady production welding and intermittent repair work. The inlet fitting is 5/8 inches-18 RH male and the outlet fitting is 5/8 inches-18 RH female, conforming to standard inert gas regulator connections used across MIG and TIG applications.

Key Features

• Dual-gas calibration: 15 to 70 SCFH for argon, 40 to 200 SCFH for helium
• Impact-resistant Lexan flow tube and outer tube for severe-duty use
• Cover tube with built-in overpressure protection
• Pressure compensated design reduces low-surge flow issues
• Standard 5/8 inches-18 RH inlet and outlet fittings
• Compatible with MIG and TIG welding processes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flowmeter regulator for use with helium and argon shielding gas systems in MIG and TIG welding applications across industrial and light fabrication environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welding technician or gas equipment professional. Shut off the gas supply and relieve all pressure from the line before connecting or disconnecting the regulator. Inspect all fittings for damage or debris before use, and ensure thread connections are hand-tight before applying a final snug turn with a wrench — do not overtighten Lexan-bodied components. Verify the inlet gas type matches the regulator calibration before placing the unit in service.
