0781-3594 - Victor VTS261B-510 Two-Stage LP Gas Regulator | 2-40 PSIG | CGA 510

Precision Control with the Victor VTS261B-510 LP Gas Regulator

The Victor 0781-3594 VTS261B-510 is a premium medium-duty, two-stage regulator engineered specifically for LP Gas (Liquid Propane) applications. As part of the renowned VTS 250 Series, this regulator is designed to provide exceptional performance in environments where maintaining a constant delivery pressure is critical. Unlike single-stage regulators that may allow outlet pressure to fluctuate as the gas cylinder empties, this two-stage unit compensates for decreasing inlet pressure, ensuring a steady and reliable flow of gas from start to finish. This feature is particularly valuable in testing, heating, and cutting applications where consistency directly impacts work quality.

Robust Construction and Durability

Built to withstand the rigors of industrial use, the VTS261B-510 features a die-forged brass body and a heavy-duty brass spring housing cap. This construction offers superior resistance to wear and damage compared to lighter-duty alternatives. The internal mechanism includes a precision-machined nozzle for optimum flow control and a stem-type seat mechanism that aids in positive sealing. To further enhance longevity, the regulator is equipped with an electroless nickel-plated bronze sintered inlet filter, which protects the internal components from particulate contamination often found in gas cylinders.

User-Friendly Design and Specifications

This model comes equipped with a standard CGA 510 inlet connection, making it compatible with standard propane cylinders, and a 9/16"-18 LH(M) outlet connection for easy hose attachment. The delivery pressure range is adjustable from 2 to 40 PSIG, monitored via a clear 60 PSIG outlet gauge, while the 400 PSIG inlet gauge allows operators to track remaining cylinder contents. The adjustment mechanism utilizes a Delrin insert bushing and a stainless steel ball in the key, providing a smooth, low-friction feel that makes fine-tuning pressure settings effortless. Safety is also prioritized with an external self-reseating relief valve.

Key Applications

The Victor VTS261B-510 is ideal for a variety of medium-to-high capacity general-purpose applications. It is specifically recommended for scenarios requiring accurate and uniform outlet pressures over a wide range of inlet pressures. Whether used for laboratory testing, industrial heating, or precise flame applications, this regulator delivers the reliability professionals expect from the Victor brand.
