1420-0057 - Victor RT-31 Regulator Repair Tool for SR Series

Precision Maintenance for Victor Regulators

The Victor RT-31 Repair Tool (1420-0057) is an essential service instrument designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Victor industrial gas regulators. Engineered by Victor Technologies (ESAB), this tool is critical for technicians and safety officers who perform in-house rebuilding or servicing of oxy-fuel equipment. It is primarily used to remove and install the high-pressure seat assembly or nozzle within the regulator body, a task that requires exact fitment to avoid stripping threads or damaging sensitive internal surfaces.

Constructed from high-grade steel, the RT-31 offers the durability required for repeated use in a workshop environment. Its design addresses the specific geometry of the Victor SR Series regulators, including popular models like the SR 250, SR 350, SR 450, and SR 700. Using makeshift tools or standard sockets for these internal components can lead to slippage, marring of the brass body, or improper seating of the nozzle, which can compromise the safety and performance of the gas delivery system. The RT-31 ensures that torque is applied correctly and that the seat assembly is aligned perfectly during reassembly.

For professional repair shops and industrial facilities managing a fleet of gas apparatus, the RT-31 is a mandatory addition to the tool crib. It simplifies the overhaul process, allowing for efficient replacement of worn consumables like seats and stems. By using the correct OEM tool, you maintain the integrity of the regulator's UL listing and ensure compliance with safety standards. Whether you are troubleshooting a creeping regulator or performing scheduled preventative maintenance, the RT-31 provides the precision and leverage needed to do the job right.
