Review on πŸ”ͺ Victor Technologies 0384-2691 Medalist 350 System: Heavy Duty Cutting System with Acetylene Gas Service and G350-15-300 Fuel Gas Regulator by Jimmy Hargrove

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good flashlight. Decent regulators. Still doesn't fit.

Purchased August 2020. Read reviews before purchasing I have seen others say the acetylene fitting is not as advertised. I decided to purchase because my local gas supplier has a range of "western" adapters. thought they could easily adapt to the acetylene regulator when I change cylinders. It's arrived, and it's right about the acetylene regulator. It is not the same as stated on the packaging. You will need the CGA300 end (right hand male) on the adapter on the side of the acetylene regulator to what you need for your cylinder (e.g. MC, B). Well apparently the required adapter is not typical so no one in my region had it. I called five welding supply stores but to no avail. CGA 300 fittings are not typical and are therefore not available. You probably just want to add it to your cart now, or get a different set. I upgraded a portable burner kit so I needed a CGA300reg-CGA200tank (MC tank). When making this set, you only need to pre-order Western #322, otherwise it's a good flashlight. The hoses are a bit stiff. The controls feel solid, except that the display faces are made of wobbly plastic.

Pros
  • Sectors-Industrial & General Manufacturing, Light Industrial, Repair & Maintenance, Metal Fabrication
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
