🔪 Victor Technologies 0384-2691 Medalist 350 System: Heavy Duty Cutting System with Acetylene Gas Service and G350-15-300 Fuel Gas Regulator Review

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! They must have been sold defective as the acetylene regulator came with a female end. LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE PHOTO! The acetylene regulator on the box has a male connector, but the IST acetylene regulator has a female connector. A MALE connector is required to connect to the bottle. I had to remove the FEMALE and replace it with my old connector because I needed to use it for work immediately. This means there is a chance it could leak.

I ordered this torch and when it arrived it had the wrong connection on the acetylene regulator. I sent it back for a replacement thinking it might be a quality control issue. When I got the replacement, it also had the wrong installation. Clearly different fittings can be seen on the box: one male and one female. did not choose to return the weather for a refund. I hate the idea of buying more parts to make it work. I forgot to mention that I first ordered a Performer 250 and when I received…

Incorrect assembly on acetylene sensor. There must be a screw connection with an external left-hand thread. You will receive a fitting with an internal right-hand thread. Air gas and an additional 48.00 for check valves. An oxygen valve was installed on the fuel outlet and vice versa on the fuel valve. They say built-in check valves are a lie. No built-in check valves. China, Taiwan and Mexico. These are not American Victor lights. If you buy them, make sure your life insurance covers them…

. Bought August 2020. Read reviews before buying. I have seen others say that 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…

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…

Incorrect assembly on acetylene sensor. There must be a screw connection with an external left-hand thread. the correct fitting fitted by Airgas and an additional 48.00 for check valves. The oxygen valve was mounted on the fuel outlet and vice versa on the fuel valve. Says built in check valves are a lie. No built-in check valves. They are made in China, Tiawan and Mexico. These are not American Victor lights. If you buy them, make sure your life insurance covers them. Dangerous at best.

The acetylene regulator does indeed come with the correct fit as stated in the product description. I didn't realize it myself at first and am a welding instructor. Yes, the box shows a CGA 510 Acetylene Regulator. BUT the actual product image taken before the box and the product description specifically states that the fuel gas regulator is G350-15-300, which means CGA 300 Acetylene Regulators are roughly there 4 different types: 520, 510, 300 and 200.
