16Y71 - Victor 16Y71 Replacement Mixer Tube for W-42 Welding Nozzles

Precision Gas Mixing for Professional Welding

The Victor 16Y71 Mixer Tube is a critical internal component designed specifically for the W-42 series of welding nozzles. In the realm of oxy-fuel welding and brazing, the mixer is the heart of the torch assembly, responsible for blending oxygen and fuel gas in precise ratios before they reach the tip. This genuine Victor replacement part ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency, delivering the stable, neutral flame required for high-quality metallurgical bonding.

Manufactured from high-grade brass, the 16Y71 mixer tube is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycles and internal pressures inherent in industrial welding environments. Over time, mixer tubes can become clogged with carbon deposits or damaged by flashbacks, leading to erratic flame behavior or safety hazards. Replacing a compromised mixer tube with this OEM component restores the laminar flow of gases, preventing turbulence that can cause popping or backfires. It is an essential spare for maintenance departments and fabrication shops relying on Victor's legendary W-series equipment.

Installation of the 16Y71 is straightforward for qualified technicians, fitting seamlessly into the W-42 nozzle assembly. By maintaining the integrity of the mixing chamber, users ensure consistent heat output and flame focus, which are paramount when working on sensitive materials or performing intricate brazing tasks. Trust in the precision of ESAB and Victor engineering to keep your oxy-fuel operations safe, reliable, and productive.
