Oxy Acetylene, Victor / Harris Compatible? What does that mean?

I am shoppining around to replace the Oxy Acetylene torch kit I have. It's older than dirt, and it's time to replace it.
In ads for the kits, I see the term "Victor Compatible" or "Harris Compatible".
What does this mean?
Type of valve on the tanks?

Granted, it's been 20+ years since I went to Vo-Tech for welding. I either have forgotten what it means, or I didn't show up that day. :laugh:

 

Not sure....but, maybe it's similar to L.L. Bean plaid shirts coming with a label that says "Larry Compatible" or "Darryl Compatible"!!:Brow: :laugh: o No:

 

Here it is...

Those are just brands of regulators. esentially the same thing, just minor differences.

HTH

 

Thats what it means. Types of regulators
