A housing ( 10 ) for mounting on a mounting surface and for supporting and protectively enclosing a regulator ( 12 ) and one or more gauges ( 14,16 ) associated with providing, controlling, and monitoring a flow of gas from a pressurized gas supply, such as is commonly used, for example, in welding, cutting, and otherwise heating metal. The housing ( 10 ) comprises a front ( 20 ); a left side ( 22 ); a right side ( 24 ); a top ( 26 ), including a bolt flange ( 28 ); a bottom ( 30 ); a hinge ( 32 ); and a securement mechanism ( 34 ). The hinge ( 32 ) allows for easy access to the regulator ( 12 ) and gauges ( 14,16 ) without requiring that the housing ( 10 ) be completely removed from the mounting surface. The securement mechanism ( 34 ) includes one or more isolation mechanisms ( 64,68 ) for reducing or substantially eliminating transmission of potentially accuracy-affecting or otherwise damaging vibrations to the regulator ( 12 ) and gauges ( 14,16 ).
