RX WELD Nitrogen Regulator With 0-800 PSI
This regulator features a CGA580 inlet, a 1/4″ SAE flare outlet, and easy-to-read 2-inch gauges with protective boots. Input pressure reaches 0-4000 PSI, while the adjustable output targets 0-600 PSI, with the display capable of noting up to 800 PSI. A 60-inch refrigeration hose provides reach for safe purging and testing. Ideal for inertization, leakage tests, brazing, and soldering in HVAC work.
RX WELD Nitrogen Regulator 0-600 PSI
This regulator uses a CGA580 inlet and a 1/4″ SAE male flare outlet with sturdy 2-inch gauges and rubber boots. It supports 0-4000 PSI input and provides an adjustable 0-450 PSI output (often read as 600 PSI maximum on the gauge). Suitable for HVAC purging, inertization, leak testing, and soldering tasks, with a five-foot refrigeration hose included for flexibility.
New 40 Cu Ft Steel Nitrogen Cylinder With CGA580 Valve
This DOT-approved steel cylinder is hydro-tested within 12 months and ships with a CGA580 valve installed. Built for durability, it provides a robust supply of nitrogen for large HVAC purge and leak-testing tasks, especially in commercial settings where longer purging operations are common.
BETOOLL Nitrogen Regulator Kit
BETOOLL offers a regulator with a long 78.7″ hose for safer distancing from the work area. It features 0-600 PSI low-pressure output and 0-4000 PSI input, with CGA580 inlet and 1/4″ flare outlet. The protective gauge boots improve visibility and durability for routine HVAC purge and leak-testing tasks.
KAKO Nitrogen Regulator With 60″ Hose
KAKO’s regulator delivers 0-800 PSI output with a 60-inch refrigeration hose and CGA580 inlet connection. It is designed for purging, inertization, pressure tests, and leakage checks in HVAC systems. The unit emphasizes brass construction for durability and long service life, with a compact profile suitable for tight workspaces.
Uniweld 40040 Sludge Sucker and Blaster Kit
This kit is tailored for HVAC/R purging work, featuring a nitrogen regulator with protective gauge boots and a maximum delivery pressure around 400 PSI. It supports purging copper lines with low-pressure nitrogen to displace oxygen, reducing oxidation and scale formation during service and repair tasks.
Pidnsrozo 53010 Pressure Tester Kit
Pidnsrozo’s kit bundles a nitrogen regulator with 38″ yellow charging hose, leak testing adapters, and high/low pressure gauges. It supports 0-4000 PSI input and 0-4400 PSI high-pressure range, enabling precise leak testing in automotive and residential A/C systems. The included case aids portability and organization.
Buying Guide
- Regulator pressure range: Choose a unit with an adjustable output that fits typical HVAC purge and leak-test tasks (commonly 0-600 PSI or 0-800 PSI).
- Inlet/outlet connections: Ensure CGA580 inlet compatibility and a 1/4″ flare outlet to fit standard hoses and fittings.
- Hose length and flexibility: Longer hoses (60″ to 78.7″) offer safer distances from the working area and easier maneuverability.
- Gauge readability and protection: Large, dual-scale gauges with protective boots improve visibility in shop lighting and reduce damage from drops.
- Durability and material: Brass regulators and steel cylinders provide durability for frequent field use; consider protective boots and corrosion resistance.
- Kit completeness: Some bundles include purge accessories, leak adapters, and carrying cases—these can save setup time and improve organization.
- Safety and compliance: DOT-certified cylinders and hydro-test documentation are important for reliability and regulatory compliance in professional settings.
When selecting a nitrogen kit for HVAC work, balance regulator range, hose length, and overall kit compatibility with your standard tank inventory. Both regulator-only options and complete kits with cylinders and accessories can support a range of tasks from purging to leak testing, while ensuring safe handling and accurate measurements.
