Zistel Dual Output Argon Regulator Flow Meter Mig Tig 0-60CFH CGA580 Inlet, Welding Argon Gas Regulator

This regulator/flow meter is well made and feels up to the task - at least for a home shop.The body is brass. There are 2 flowmeters with separate adjustments. The top of each flowmeter has a spring to keep the ball from bouncing off the top and cracking the case and/or launching the ball.The high pressure gauge is the standard cheap import type with a flimsy plastic cover. It won't take a pop without at least the plastic falling off/cracking. These seem like standard equipment on this type regulator so I did not expect anything else.The fittings for attaching hoses to the outputs are set up with hose barbs which might not be optimal - but should work as the largest common denominator across set ups. If you would rather attach in other ways, the fittings are threaded so you should be able to make it work with a bit of fiddling. I took caliper measurements in inches and millimeters for the male side of the included fittings in case those might be helpful (The jaws are not on the fittings in all of the photos. I just have them sitting close to the part measured so you know which one is which.)

I have seen and used better but still overall not too shabby and does what it needs to do...I haven't had it that long yet so with that in mind no problems so far and it also looks good and feels good and the knobs are easy to turn. It is good it just isn't the best I have ever seen or used is all.Good day & God Bless...Randall M. RueffK9RMR

Bargain Price – High Quality CGA-580 gas tank mount non-adjustable regulator with TWO adjustable Flow Meter outletsThis is a really well manufactured flawless tool so the manufacturer must have high Quality Control inspection standards. I hooked up a pressure gauge to the “extra” flow meter and very cautiously cracked the tank valve. I got a really nice constant flow rate at various volume flow settings.I use these adjustable ball height scale indicator Flow Meters with a tank of Nitrogen Gas in my HVAC line set silver soldering. The flow of “pure” dry Nitrogen Gas prevents the high temperature oxidation of the inside of the line set copper lines. I have had to service too many failed new installation HVAC systems where the “blow and go” shameless technician did not use a Nitrogen Gas purge and Nitrogen Gas flow while silver soldering the line set, or gasp using even higher temperature brazing using those new fangled high Phosphor brazing rods that really make a lot of oxidation flakes.

This is a super nice setup for Argon if you need to hook up two machines at different flow rates. The body of the gauge is very heavy duty and made out of very nice looking brass. You have a dial type indicator for the bottle pressure and there are dual ball style flow meters. This is a very well built unit . You also get two tail fittings to hook up your hose to the regulator. This is a very nice piece of equipment at a really amazing price. You can't go wrong here.

I have not installed this yet. I have seen these regulators at other locations and they work great. I am looking forward to getting my Argon tank and start using this. This gauge is rated to 4500psi and the scale reads in PSI or KPI. The dual ports allows you to connect to two different welders, you can also back purge. This valve comes with a 2 year warranty.

I got this to replace my old single outlet regulator. I'm planning on getting a TIG welder to go along with my MIG welder, and with this regulator I won't have to mess with swapping hoses whenever I want to switch. This regulator is very well made out of good quality materials. Fit and finish are excellent. The gauge and indicators are easy to read. The controls operate smoothly. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

While this does appear to work, it also feels like its one knock/slam away from never working again. It's possibly the cheapest flow regulator I have ever put my hands on. I'd recommend spending a bit more and getting something with some more meat to it. The flow rates are also hard for me to verify, but I'm a little bit skeptical. It does do what you need for welding and if you just ignore the numbers and pay attention to the argon shield to verify it's working you can totally dial it into whatever works.3/5Update: the high pressure needle got stuck at 350PSI, requiring a good flick to get it to move again. The reality is my tank had about 10PSI in the tank. That was fun to figure out.1/5

Comes with all needed connection. Fits great. Nice to have dual flow meters for TIG and MIG welders on the same cart. Have no way to test accuracy with out using up a bunch of my argon, but the flow seems right just by feel.
