0329-0170 - Victor UM-1 Welding Mixer for J-Series Handles

Precision Oxy-Fuel Mixing with the Victor UM-1 Assembly

The Victor 0329-0170 Mixer Assembly, commonly referred to as the Model UM-1, is an essential component for professionals utilizing Victor's light-duty oxy-fuel torch systems. Designed to bridge the gap between the torch handle and the welding nozzle, this mixer plays a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of your equipment. It is engineered to precisely blend oxygen and fuel gas—typically acetylene or hydrogen—before the mixture reaches the tip, ensuring a stable, neutral flame that is crucial for high-quality welding and brazing results.

Manufactured from high-grade brass, the UM-1 mixer offers excellent resistance to heat and corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding industrial environments. It is specifically designed to fit Victor J-Series torch handles, including the popular J-27, J-28, and J-100C models. This specific compatibility ensures a secure, leak-proof fit, maintained by high-quality O-rings that prevent dangerous gas leaks at the connection point. For users of the W-1 and W-J series welding nozzles, this mixer is the required interface to attach those tips to your handle.

At Josef Gas, we understand that maintaining your oxy-fuel equipment with genuine OEM parts is vital for safety and performance. The Victor 0329-0170 is a direct replacement part that restores your torch's original functionality. Whether you are performing delicate jewelry repair, HVAC tube brazing, or general light-duty maintenance welding, this mixer provides the consistent gas flow dynamics needed for precise heat control. Its threaded design allows for hand-tight assembly, making it easy to switch between different nozzle sizes without the need for heavy tools, thereby increasing productivity on the job site.

Investing in a genuine Victor mixer ensures that you are adhering to the manufacturer's safety standards. Improper mixing of gases can lead to flashbacks or backfires; therefore, using the correct mixer for your specific handle and tip combination is paramount. The UM-1 is a testament to Victor's legacy of quality in gas equipment, providing a reliable solution for controlling the intense energy of oxy-fuel flames.
