0309-0074 - Victor Internal Tip Nut Replacement Part

Genuine Victor Replacement Hardware

The Victor 0309-0074 Internal Tip Nut is a specialized replacement component designed specifically for Victor oxy-fuel cutting attachments and torches. As a critical element of the torch assembly, this internal nut serves the vital function of securing the cutting tip within the torch head. Manufactured to Victor's exacting original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, this part ensures that the geometric relationship between the tip and the gas mixing chamber is maintained precisely. This precision is essential not only for the quality of the cut but, more importantly, for the safety of the operator.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the 0309-0074 is engineered to withstand the extreme thermal cycles inherent in oxy-fuel cutting processes. Brass is the material of choice for this application due to its excellent thermal conductivity, resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, and non-sparking properties. Over time, the threads on existing tip nuts can become worn, cross-threaded, or damaged due to frequent tip changes and thermal expansion and contraction. A compromised tip nut can lead to improper tip seating, which may result in gas leaks at the connection point. In oxy-fuel systems, such leaks can be dangerous, potentially leading to flashbacks or torch damage. Replacing a worn nut with this genuine Victor part restores the integrity of the seal.

Industrial maintenance professionals and procurement specialists understand that using genuine OEM parts is key to extending the lifecycle of welding and cutting equipment. The Victor 0309-0074 ensures compatibility with specific Victor cutting attachments, eliminating the guesswork associated with generic aftermarket parts. By maintaining a tight and secure fit, this internal tip nut helps ensure consistent gas flow characteristics and flame stability. It is a small but indispensable component for any MRO inventory supporting metal fabrication or heavy industrial repair operations where Victor gas equipment is utilized.
