0303-0006 - Victor Replacement Inner Oxygen Tube for Cutting Attachments

Precision Repair for Professional Equipment

The Victor 0303-0006 Inner Oxygen Tube is a critical replacement component designed to restore the functionality and safety of your Victor oxy-fuel cutting attachments. In the realm of industrial gas apparatus, the integrity of internal components is paramount. This inner tube serves the vital function of conveying the high-pressure cutting oxygen stream through the torch body to the tip, keeping it separate from the preheat fuel gas mixture until it reaches the mixing chamber or tip, depending on the torch design.

Over time, internal torch components can degrade due to thermal cycling, mechanical stress, or accidental damage during disassembly and cleaning. A compromised inner oxygen tube can lead to internal leaks, poor cut quality due to turbulence in the oxygen stream, or hazardous mixing of gases within the handle. Utilizing genuine Victor replacement parts like the 0303-0006 ensures that dimensional tolerances are met strictly, guaranteeing a leak-proof seal and proper alignment within the cutting attachment assembly.

Maintenance and Safety

Regular inspection and maintenance of oxy-fuel equipment are essential for shop safety. When rebuilding a cutting attachment, it is recommended to inspect all internal tubes for signs of bending, cracking, or thread wear. This specific inner oxygen tube is engineered to withstand the pressures associated with cutting operations while resisting oxidation and corrosion. By choosing OEM parts, you maintain the UL listing and safety rating of your equipment, ensuring that it performs as designed by the manufacturer.

Installation and Compatibility

This part is designed for specific Victor cutting attachments. Technicians should consult the exploded view parts diagram for their specific model (such as the CA series) to verify the part number 0303-0006 before purchase. Proper installation requires a clean environment and the correct tools to avoid damaging the brass threads or the tube body. Replacing the inner oxygen tube is often part of a comprehensive torch rebuild that may also involve replacing O-rings and seating surfaces to return the tool to like-new condition.
