TurboTorch 245-03P Nitrogen Regulator

The TurboTorch 245-03P Nitrogen Regulator is a critical tool for HVACR contractors performing high-capacity system purging and pressure testing. Built with forged brass construction, this single-stage regulator is engineered to deliver a precise 0-500 PSIG pressure range, allowing for both the low-volume flow required to prevent oxidation during copper brazing and the higher pressures needed for leak testing R-410A line sets. By maintaining a steady sweep of dry nitrogen, technicians can effectively eliminate internal scaling and moisture contamination, ensuring clean joints and preventing filter-drier fouling or compressor failure.

Equipped with a standard CGA-580 tank connection and a 1/4" flare male outlet fitting, the 245-03P integrates seamlessly with existing charging hoses and manifolds. The unit features dual 2-inch high-visibility gauges: a high-pressure gauge rated for 4,000 PSIG and a low-pressure delivery gauge reading up to 600 PSIG. The easy-to-operate T-handle adjustment provides tactile control even when wearing work gloves, making it indispensable for field service and large-scale industrial maintenance applications.

Key Benefits

• Internal Oxidation Control: Supplies the low-pressure nitrogen sweep necessary to prevent carbon scale buildup inside copper tubing during the brazing process.
• Dual-Purpose Performance: Delivers high-capacity flow suitable for both initial system purging and final pressure testing up to 500 PSIG.
• Heavy-Duty Reliability: Forged brass body and durable internal components designed to withstand the daily rigors of a contractor's service truck.
• Moisture Displacement: Utilizing dry nitrogen gas minimizes the need for prolonged evacuation cycles by displacing atmospheric moisture before charging.
• Standardized Compatibility: Features a CGA-580 inlet for nitrogen, argon, or helium cylinders and a universal 1/4" SAE flare outlet.

Common Questions

Is this regulator suitable for pressure testing R-410A systems?
Yes, with a delivery range reaching 500 PSIG, this regulator provides the necessary pressure to safely leak-test high-pressure refrigerant lines.

What tank connection does the 245-03P use?
It utilizes a standard CGA-580 connection, making it compatible with all standard nitrogen, argon, and helium cylinders in the HVACR industry.

Does this regulator help in removing moisture from the system?
By purging the lines with dry nitrogen, the regulator helps sweep out moisture and non-condensables, which significantly improves the efficiency of the final vacuum evacuation.
