0780-1006 - Victor VTS 710MA-997 Two-Stage Acetylene Manifold Regulator, CGA 997

Heavy-Duty Acetylene Manifold Regulation

The Victor 0780-1006 VTS 710MA-997 is a premium two-stage regulator designed specifically for high-flow acetylene manifold systems. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas control technology, this regulator is part of the VTS 710 series, known for its exceptional durability and precise performance in heavy-duty industrial applications. The two-stage design is critical for manifold operations, as it reduces the source pressure in two steps, ensuring that the delivery pressure remains constant even as the inlet pressure from the bank of cylinders fluctuates or decays. This feature is essential for maintaining process consistency in large-scale welding, cutting, or heating operations.

Constructed with a machined brass body and housing cap, the VTS 710MA-997 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Unlike standard diaphragm regulators, this model utilizes a piston-type actuation mechanism (brass piston), which offers superior resistance to wear and damage, making it ideally suited for pressure vessel testing and dead-end testing applications. The regulator features a specialized CGA 997 inlet connection (1"-11 1/2 NPS M) and a matching 1"-11 1/2 NPS F outlet, facilitating high-volume gas flow required by extensive manifold distribution networks.

Safety and ease of use are paramount in the design. The regulator is equipped with large, easy-to-read 2.5-inch brass gauges that allow operators to monitor system status at a glance. The delivery range is strictly calibrated to 2-15 PSIG, adhering to safety standards for acetylene usage. With a maximum inlet pressure rating of 3000 PSIG, this regulator provides a robust and reliable solution for facility managers and industrial gas engineers seeking to optimize their acetylene distribution systems.
