Maintain the precision and safety of your oxy-fuel equipment with the Smith Equipment LW14-O Oxygen Valve Assembly. Designed specifically for the renowned Smith AW1 and AW1A "Airline" series torch handles, this replacement component ensures your torch performs at the high standards expected by professional fabricators and jewelers. As a critical control point in your oxy-acetylene or oxy-fuel setup, the oxygen valve is responsible for fine-tuning the preheat flame and cutting stream (if applicable via attachment), making its smooth operation vital for quality work.
The LW14-O is manufactured to exact tolerances, featuring a precision-machined valve stem that seats perfectly to prevent leaks and allow for minute adjustments. Over time, valve stems can wear, or packing can dry out, leading to stiff operation or dangerous gas leaks. Replacing the entire assembly with this genuine part restores the "like-new" feel of your torch handle. The assembly comes finished in a durable nickel plating, which not only matches the aesthetic of the Smith Airline torches but also provides superior resistance to corrosion and wear compared to bare brass components.
Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel processes. A leaking oxygen valve can lead to flashbacks or inconsistent flame chemistry, ruining workpieces or posing safety hazards. By installing the LW14-O, you ensure a positive shut-off and stable flow rates. This assembly is a direct fit replacement, meaning no modifications are required for installation. Simply remove the old, worn assembly and thread in the new LW14-O for an immediate restoration of function. Trust in genuine Miller/Smith parts to keep your shop running smoothly.
