0329-0165 - Victor UM-1 Mixer for 100 Series Handles

Precision Gas Mixing for Professional Welding

The Victor 0329-0165 UM-1 Mixer Assembly is a critical component designed to deliver optimal performance for your oxy-fuel welding and brazing operations. Manufactured by Victor, a leader in gas equipment technology, this mixer assembly is engineered to blend oxygen and fuel gases safely and efficiently before they reach the welding nozzle. By ensuring a balanced mixture, the UM-1 allows for a stable, neutral flame that is essential for producing high-quality welds and brazed joints.

This specific mixer model, the UM-1, is tailored for use with Victor 100 Series torch handles, including the widely used 100FC, J-28, J-40, and J-100C models. It serves as the interface between the torch handle and the welding tip, specifically designed to accommodate W-1 series welding nozzles ranging from size 000 to size 4. This range covers a broad spectrum of light to medium-duty applications, making the UM-1 an indispensable part of any fabricator's toolkit who utilizes the 100 Series platform.

Robust Construction and Safety

Safety and durability are paramount in oxy-fuel equipment, and the Victor 0329-0165 excels in both. Constructed from high-grade brass, the mixer is built to withstand the intense heat and physical demands of industrial environments. The precision-machined threads and seating surfaces ensure a tight, leak-proof seal when attached to the torch handle, minimizing the risk of gas leaks. Furthermore, the internal design of the mixer promotes smooth gas flow, reducing turbulence and helping to prevent flashbacks and backfires when used with appropriate safety equipment.

Application Versatility

Whether you are performing delicate jewelry repair, HVAC tubing installation, or general metal fabrication, the control provided by the UM-1 mixer is unmatched. It allows for fine-tuning of the flame characteristics, enabling the operator to switch between carburizing, neutral, and oxidizing flames as required by the base metal. Regular inspection and replacement of the mixer assembly are recommended to maintain the efficiency of your torch setup. If your current mixer shows signs of wear, carbon buildup, or thread damage, the Victor 0329-0165 is the exact OEM replacement needed to restore your equipment to factory specifications.
