Frequently asked questions
Common questions about UNIWELD from 3G Electric.
What CGA connections are available on UNIWELD regulators?
UNIWELD regulators are available with CGA 200, CGA 510, CGA 540, and CGA 580 inlet connections. CGA 200 and CGA 510 are used for acetylene fuel gas service, while CGA 540 is standard for oxygen, and CGA 580 is for high-pressure air or inert gases. Outlet connections vary by model, including 9/16"-18 M LH for fuel gases and 1/4" NPT F or 3/8"-24 M RH for oxygen and inert gases.
Are UNIWELD welding outfits suitable for portable use?
Yes, UNIWELD offers portable outfits such as the KL22P and KCHP, which are designed for brazing, cutting, and welding with acetylene. These kits include a regulator, torch handle, and hoses in a compact configuration. The KVH780AFB model includes integrated flashback arrestors for added safety. These outfits are intended for field maintenance, HVAC work, and light fabrication where mobility is required.
What diaphragm materials are used in UNIWELD regulators?
UNIWELD regulators use neoprene or stainless steel diaphragms depending on the model. For example, the MR8211 acetylene regulator has a neoprene diaphragm, while the RV8011 stage regulator uses stainless steel. Neoprene is common in single-stage regulators for fuel gas service, and stainless steel is used in models requiring higher corrosion resistance or durability.
What is the AWS classification of UNIWELD rare earth tungsten electrodes?
UNIWELD rare earth tungsten electrodes are classified under AWS EWG, which indicates a general-purpose tungsten electrode for AC/DC welding. They are available in a 3/32 in diameter and 7 in length, with a light blue color code. These electrodes are supplied in 10-packs and are suitable for TIG welding applications requiring a stable arc.
Can UNIWELD regulators be used with inert gases?
Yes, UNIWELD offers regulators for inert gas service, such as the RHP1500 model with a CGA 580 inlet and 1/4" NPT F outlet. This single-stage regulator is designed for high-pressure air and inert gases like nitrogen. The RO oxygen regulator with CGA 540 inlet can also be used with inert gases if the service pressure and connection are compatible.
