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 Chris Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Make sure it is a CGA 300 and not a CGA 510. Acetylene Regulator

Acetylene Regulator actually comes with the correct fit as stated in the product description. At first I didn't catch it myself and I'm a welding instructor. Yes the box shows a CGA 510 acetylene regulator BUT the actual product picture taken in front of the box and the product description specifically states that the fuel gas regulator is G350-15-300 which means CGA 300, there are about 4 different types : 520, 510, 300 and 200. The 510 regulator is also suitable for propane cylinders. So if you ordered this product and were disappointed at first like I was, you did indeed get what you ordered and I suggest 1) return it and get a CGA 510 kit if you need that. 2) Buy a separate regulator for the bottle you have. 3) If you rent an acetylene cylinder from a welding supply store, ask to exchange the cylinder for one that fits this regulator. 4) Order an adapter like the Forney 87809 CGA 510 to 300 which costs about $30 or the Western CGA 510 Male to CGA 300 Male which costs about $10.
