19049 - Victor M-61 Heating Mixer for Propane/Natural Gas

Technical Overview of the Victor M-61 Mixer

The Victor M-61 Mixer (SKU: 0381-19049) is a specialized oxy-fuel component engineered specifically for heavy-duty heating applications utilizing alternative fuel gases. Unlike standard welding mixers designed for acetylene, the M-61 is calibrated to handle the distinct flow rates and combustion ratios required by Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene. This ensures flame stability and optimal thermal output when performing large-scale preheating, straightening, or bending operations.

Manufactured by ESAB under the Victor brand, this mixer integrates seamlessly with Victor's industrial 300 Series torch handles, such as the 315FC and HD 310C. It serves as the critical interface between the torch handle and the heating nozzle, specifically the Type 55 Multi-Flame Heating Nozzles. The internal geometry of the M-61 promotes thorough mixing of the oxygen and fuel gas at the lower pressures typically associated with alternative fuels, preventing flashback and ensuring a consistent, high-velocity flame.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the M-61 offers superior resistance to heat and mechanical stress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments including shipyards, structural steel fabrication, and heavy equipment repair. It is strictly designated for use with alternate fuels and must not be used with acetylene due to the fundamental differences in gas density and burning velocities.
