Argon Flowmeter Regulator for Cylinder Mounting
The Uniweld RF2480-580 is a single-stage flowmeter regulator built for argon shielding gas. It mounts directly to a cylinder and delivers a maximum outlet pressure of 50 psig with argon flow rates up to 70 scfh. The unit suits welders who need a dedicated argon regulator for TIG or MIG work.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw in Normal Use
This mechanical regulator has no electrical components, so it produces no noise and draws no power during operation. Brass construction handles the thermal load from gas expansion without external cooling. Performance remains stable across the full 0 to 3,000 psig inlet range.
Brass Body with NGO Inlet and UNF Outlet
The 0.965"-14 NGO male inlet threads onto standard argon cylinders with a right-hand thread direction. A 5/8"-18 UNF female outlet accepts compatible hose fittings. The 1-1/2" brass body resists corrosion in shop environments. Buyers needing a different inlet standard or a dual-gas regulator will need another model.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the RF2480-580 to my argon cylinder, and what thread detail do installers often miss?
Connect the male 0.965"-14 NGO right-hand inlet to the cylinder valve; the left-hand thread on some fuel-gas fittings is the common error, so verify right-hand engagement before tightening.
Which part of the flowmeter regulator will need periodic replacement under normal shop use?
The internal seat and diaphragm assembly in the single-stage brass body should be inspected annually and replaced if leakage or pressure creep appears at the 50 psig outlet.
At what argon flow does the RF2480-580 reach its calibration limit during a long weld?
The flowmeter tops out at 70 scfh for argon, so sustained runs above that rate will exceed the calibrated scale and require a higher-capacity regulator.
