1407-0006 - Victor Buna-N O-Ring .114 ID x .250 OD

Precision Sealing for Professional Gas Equipment

The Victor 1407-0006 O-Ring is a critical component designed to maintain the integrity and safety of your oxy-fuel welding and cutting apparatus. Manufactured from high-grade Buna-N (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), this O-ring is engineered to provide a robust seal in demanding industrial environments. Buna-N is the standard material for sealing applications requiring resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and greases, making it an ideal choice for the internal components of gas regulators and torch handles where trace lubricants may be present.

Precision is paramount when it comes to gas equipment. This O-ring features exacting dimensions with an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.114 inches, an Outer Diameter (OD) of 0.250 inches, and a cross-sectional width of 0.070 inches. These tight tolerances ensure that the seal sits perfectly within the gland, providing the necessary compression to prevent gas leaks without causing excessive friction or wear on moving parts. Using non-OEM or generic O-rings with slight dimensional variances can lead to seal failure, gas leakage, and potential safety hazards.

In the context of welding equipment maintenance, the quality of small components like O-rings often dictates the longevity of the entire assembly. The Victor 1407-0006 is designed to resist compression set, meaning it retains its elastic memory and sealing force even after prolonged periods of static pressure. This characteristic is vital for regulators and valves that may remain in a fixed position for extended durations. Furthermore, the material's abrasion resistance ensures it can withstand the dynamic forces present in valve stems and adjusting mechanisms.

Whether you are rebuilding a vintage Victor regulator or performing routine maintenance on a cutting torch, utilizing genuine Victor parts is the only way to guarantee performance that meets original factory specifications. This O-ring is a small but essential investment in the reliability and safety of your gas distribution systems.
