St. Louis, Mo. - Thermadyne® Industries' Victor® brand, one of the oldest and mostly widely recognized names in gas equipment, is offering design advancements in its Journeyman® Select outfits. The newly configured outfits come standard with the ESS4 EDGE Series regulators and environmentally-friendly packaging.

Included with the Journeyman Select EDGE Outfits are the CA 2460 Cutting Attachment, 315 FC Torch Handle with built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves, and ESS4 EDGE Series regulators. The cutting attachments are available with 75° or 90° head angle.

The heavy duty outfit cuts up to 8" (203.2mm) and welds up to 3" (76.2mm) with the appropriate accessories.

"The Edge is the most significant innovation in gas regulator design in more than a hundred years," said Alex Stem, Victor Product Line Manager. "Our new outfits are a result of ever increasing requests for this revolutionary product, packaged with other products that are customer favorites."

Along with exceptional performance and unparalleled safety, the Victor Professional Edge Series regulator offers a highly durable, rugged design to protect critical regulator components. An innovative internal vent system protects the regulator internals from weather elements, ensuring reliability in even the harshest environments. A Victor exclusive is the Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism (SLAM) technology, which is built right into the knob. A multi-layer crumple zone slows velocity to reduce the force of impact in the event of a fall. SLAM is designed to protect regulator vitals and the cylinder valve itself by absorbing more than 5,000 pound-force of impact energy.
