The Victor 0328-0013, also known as the UM-1 Mixer Assembly, is a critical component designed for medium-duty oxy-fuel welding, brazing, and heating applications. Manufactured by Victor Technologies, a leader in gas equipment, this mixer is engineered to interface seamlessly with Victor 100 Series torch handles, including the popular 100C and 100FC models. The primary function of the UM-1 mixer is to safely and efficiently blend oxygen and fuel gas—such as acetylene, propane, or propylene—before the mixture enters the welding or heating nozzle. This ensures a consistent, controllable flame profile necessary for precision metalwork.
Constructed from high-quality brass, the 0328-0013 assembly is built to withstand the thermal stresses associated with prolonged welding operations. The material choice not only provides durability but also ensures resistance to oxidation and corrosion, which are common in industrial environments. The internal geometry of the mixing chamber is precision-machined to promote laminar flow and thorough gas mixing, which significantly reduces the likelihood of flame instability or flashbacks. This attention to fluid dynamics is what separates genuine Victor parts from aftermarket alternatives, providing the operator with a safer and more reliable tool.
Installation of the UM-1 mixer is straightforward, utilizing a threaded connection that secures firmly to the torch handle. The assembly comes equipped with high-grade O-rings that establish a gas-tight seal, preventing hazardous leaks at the connection point. Once installed, the mixer serves as the mounting point for a variety of tips, specifically the Victor W-1 series welding nozzles and MFA-1 series heating nozzles. This modularity allows users to quickly switch between cutting attachments (which typically have their own mixing systems) and this welding/heating mixer, maximizing the versatility of the 100 Series torch platform. For industrial MRO procurement, the Victor 0328-0013 represents a standard of quality and safety compliance essential for maintaining oxy-fuel equipment fleets.
