0390-0086 - Victor Torch Control Valve Rebuild Kit with Red & Green Indicators

Restore Precision and Safety to Oxy-Fuel Operations

The Victor 0390-0086 Control Valve Repair Kit is an essential maintenance component for industrial oxy-fuel equipment. Designed specifically for Victor torch handles, this kit addresses the critical wear points within the gas control mechanism. Over time, the internal components of torch valves—such as stems, seats, and O-rings—degrade due to friction, heat, and exposure to pressurized gases. This degradation can lead to gas leaks, imprecise flow metering, and potential safety hazards in the workplace. This genuine Victor repair kit allows maintenance personnel to rebuild the control valves to factory specifications, ensuring compliance with safety standards and operational efficiency.

The kit is comprehensive, providing the necessary parts to service both the oxygen and fuel gas sides of the torch handle. It includes the specific Red (Fuel) and Green (Oxygen) identification components, which are crucial for visual safety checks and preventing cross-connection errors during reassembly. By utilizing OEM parts, facilities ensure that the dimensional tolerances and material compatibility of the seals match the rigorous requirements of high-pressure gas service. This attention to detail prevents the "creeping" of flame settings during operation, allowing for stable preheat and cutting flames that are essential for quality metalworking.

Implementing a regular maintenance schedule that includes valve refurbishment with the 0390-0086 kit can significantly extend the lifecycle of expensive torch bodies. Rather than discarding a handle due to a stiff knob or minor leak, this kit provides a complete restorative solution. It is an indispensable item for tool cribs and maintenance departments responsible for the upkeep of welding and cutting apparatus.
