Based on the Victor FM 157 platform, this unit delivers a flow range of 15 to 65 SCFH for argon and 40 to 200 SCFH for helium, making it suitable for a wide range of welding procedures. The inlet is rated at 25 psig and accepts a 1\/4 inch NPT male fitting. The outlet uses a 5\/8 inch-18 RH female fitting. The flow tube and outer tube are constructed from impact-resistant Lexan polycarbonate, and the cover tube incorporates built-in overpressure protection. Licensed welders and fabricators install this unit directly at the cylinder or manifold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flowmeter regulator is suited for industrial fabrication, light fabrication, structural steel fabrication, and repair and maintenance environments. Its pressure-compensated design supports low-surge flow requirements, making it a reliable choice for shops running argon or helium shielding gas for GMAW and GTAW processes. The dual-range calibration allows technicians to switch between gas types without swapping equipment, reducing downtime at the weld station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlow range of 15 to 65 SCFH for argon and 40 to 200 SCFH for helium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImpact-resistant Lexan flow tube and outer tube for demanding shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure-compensated design for stable, low-surge flow output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCover tube includes built-in overpressure protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with MIG and TIG welding processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPT male inlet and 5\/8 inch-18 RH female outlet fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with argon and helium shielding gases in medium-duty MIG and TIG welding setups across industrial fabrication, light fabrication, structural steel fabrication, and repair and maintenance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified welding professional or pipefitter familiar with compressed gas equipment. Shut off the cylinder valve and relieve all line pressure before connecting or disconnecting the regulator. Ensure fittings are hand-tightened first, then secured with an appropriate wrench — do not overtighten Lexan components. Verify all connections for leaks using an approved leak-detection solution before initiating gas flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Range (Argon)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 to 65 SCFH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Range (Helium)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 to 200 SCFH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 psig\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch-18 RH female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Impact-Resistant Lexan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VICTOR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000-0263\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VICTOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342795866418,"sku":"1000-0263","price":294.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310546354.jpg?v=1782006882","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/victor-1000-0263-flowmeter-regulator-argon-helium","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
