The Victor 1407-0214 is a specialized sealing component designed for use within the Victor line of oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, it is engineered to meet the exact tolerance requirements necessary for handling compressed gases safely. The O-ring is manufactured from Buna-N, also known as Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), which is the standard elastomer for sealing applications requiring resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and greases.
The physical dimensions of this O-ring are critical for proper seating and sealing. It features an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.551 inches, an Outer Diameter (OD) of 0.687 inches, and a cross-sectional width of 0.070 inches. These precise measurements ensure that when installed in the appropriate gland or groove of a torch handle, cutting attachment, or regulator, the O-ring provides the necessary compression to prevent gas bypass. In oxy-fuel systems, maintaining a leak-free environment is paramount not only for the efficiency of the flame but for the safety of the operator.
Buna-N is selected for this application due to its favorable mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion. It performs reliably across a standard temperature range suitable for welding environments. While Buna-N is excellent for general purpose sealing, it is specifically chosen here for its compatibility with the lubricants and conditions often found in industrial gas apparatus. Using non-OEM or incorrect material O-rings can lead to premature failure, swelling, or cracking, which compromises the integrity of the gas seal. Technicians and MRO specialists should always verify the part number 1407-0214 against the equipment's parts breakdown to ensure compatibility.
This component is typically supplied as a single unit. Regular inspection of O-rings during routine maintenance intervals is recommended. Signs of wear such as flattening (compression set), nicking, or brittleness indicate that the O-ring should be replaced immediately to maintain the equipment's safety certification and operational performance.
