1407-0013 - Victor Buna-N O-Ring Replacement .239 ID x .070 W

Precision Sealing with Genuine Victor Components

The Victor 1407-0013 O-Ring is a critical replacement component designed to restore the integrity of your oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. Manufactured to exact specifications, this O-ring features an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.239 inches, an Outer Diameter (OD) of 0.375 inches, and a cross-sectional width of 0.070 inches. These dimensions correspond to the standard AS568-010 size, making it a versatile seal for various pneumatic and hydraulic applications within the Victor product ecosystem. Utilizing genuine OEM parts is essential for maintaining the safety certifications and performance standards of your industrial gas equipment.

Material Properties: Buna-N (Nitrile)

This O-ring is fabricated from Buna-N, also known as Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR). Buna-N is the industry standard for general-purpose sealing applications due to its exceptional mechanical properties and resistance to a wide range of fluids. It offers excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, water, and many solvents, making it ideal for the harsh environments often found in welding workshops and industrial sites. The material exhibits high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance, ensuring that the seal remains intact even under pressure or during frequent assembly and disassembly of equipment components.

Application and Compatibility

The 1407-0013 O-ring is engineered specifically for use in Victor regulators, torch handles, and cutting attachments. In gas regulation systems, O-rings serve as the primary barrier against gas leaks. Over time, rubber components can degrade due to compression set, thermal cycling, or exposure to contaminants. Replacing worn O-rings with this genuine Victor part ensures a tight, reliable seal, preventing the escape of process gases such as oxygen, acetylene, or propane. This not only prevents costly gas wastage but also mitigates significant safety hazards associated with leaking combustible or oxidizing gases.

Technical Specifications and Maintenance

Maintenance professionals rely on precise measurements to ensure equipment reliability. The 0.070-inch width of this O-ring provides the necessary compression to fill the gland gap effectively without over-stressing the material. When installing, it is recommended to inspect the mating surfaces for burrs or debris that could damage the new seal. A light application of a compatible lubricant (ensure oxygen compatibility if used in oxygen service) can aid installation and prolong the life of the O-ring. By choosing the Victor 1407-0013, you are investing in the longevity and safety of your welding apparatus.
