0780-1004 - Victor VTS 703MD-996 Two-Stage High Flow CO2 Manifold Regulator

Heavy-Duty Victor VTS 703MD-996 Manifold Regulator

The Victor VTS 703MD-996 is a professional-grade, two-stage regulator designed specifically for high-capacity manifold applications involving Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas control equipment, this regulator is part of the VTS 703 series, known for its exceptional durability and high flow capabilities. It is constructed with a machined brass body and housing cap, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Unlike standard diaphragm regulators, this model utilizes a brass piston-type actuation mechanism, which provides robust performance and longevity, particularly in high-pressure scenarios.

One of the standout features of this regulator is its two-stage design. In manifold systems where supply pressure can vary, a two-stage regulator is essential for maintaining a constant delivery pressure without the need for frequent manual adjustments. The VTS 703MD-996 takes high inlet pressures up to 3000 PSIG and reduces them to a stable working pressure between 5 and 125 PSIG. This precision is critical for applications requiring consistent flow rates over long periods. The unit is equipped with a CGA 996 inlet connection (1 - 11 1/2 NPS Female), making it compatible with specific CO2 manifold setups rather than standard cylinders.

Safety and maintenance are also key components of the VTS 703 design. The regulator features a cartridge-type seat assembly with a PCTFE seat, which is known for its resistance to chemical degradation and mechanical wear. A sintered bronze inlet filter is integrated to trap particulates before they can damage the internal seating surface, significantly extending the service life of the unit. Additionally, the regulator includes an external adjustable relief valve, providing an extra layer of safety by preventing over-pressurization. Large 2.5-inch brass gauges allow operators to easily monitor both inlet and delivery pressures at a glance.

Ideally suited for pressure vessel testing, dead-end testing, and heavy-duty gas distribution, the Victor 0780-1004 combines high capacity with precision control. Its Delrin cap bushing ensures smooth adjustments, allowing users to fine-tune pressure settings with ease. Whether you are managing a large-scale industrial gas manifold or require a reliable regulator for specialized testing, the VTS 703MD-996 delivers the performance and reliability Victor is famous for.
