996055 - ESAB Victor ST-23A Torch Adjustment Valve Assembly

Restore Precision to Your Cutting Operations

The ESAB 996055 Adjustment Screw Assembly is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the legendary ST-23A series of heavy-duty straight cutting torches. In the world of industrial oxy-fuel cutting, the ability to finely tune your preheat flame and cutting oxygen is paramount to achieving clean, slag-free cuts. Over time, the adjustment screws on a torch can become worn, bent, or stripped due to the harsh environments of scrap yards, fabrication shops, and construction sites. This genuine OEM assembly allows you to restore the tactile, precise control you expect from your equipment.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards (formerly under the Victor brand heritage), this assembly is constructed from high-grade brass and steel alloys. This ensures that the threads resist galling and corrosion, even when exposed to atmospheric moisture and industrial contaminants. A compromised adjustment screw isn't just an annoyance; it can be a safety hazard. If the screw does not seat correctly, it can lead to gas leaks around the valve stem or an inability to shut off the gas flow completely. Replacing the assembly with the 996055 ensures that your torch meets original factory safety specifications.

Installation is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with oxy-fuel apparatus. The assembly drops directly into the valve body of the ST-23A, replacing the old, worn-out mechanism. By maintaining your torch with genuine parts, you extend the service life of the entire tool, avoiding the significant expense of purchasing a complete new torch. Whether you are cutting thick structural steel or performing demolition work, reliable equipment is the backbone of your productivity. Trust Josef Gas to provide the authentic components you need to keep your fires burning safely and efficiently.
