0316-0013 - Victor Replacement Tube Ferrule for CA 1350/1260

Critical Component for Torch Integrity

The Victor 0316-0013 Tube Ferrule is a precision-engineered replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance of Victor CA 1350 and CA 1260 series cutting attachments. In the high-stakes environment of industrial oxy-fuel cutting, the integrity of the gas delivery system is paramount. This ferrule acts as the primary sealing mechanism within the compression fittings that secure the gas tubes to the torch head and handle. By ensuring a hermetic seal, it prevents the escape of fuel gas and oxygen, which is essential for both the safety of the operator and the efficiency of the cutting process.

OEM Specification and Performance

Manufactured to Victor's rigorous Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards, this tube ferrule guarantees a precise fit that aftermarket alternatives often fail to match. The dimensions and material properties are optimized to withstand the thermal expansion and contraction cycles inherent in oxy-fuel cutting operations. Using genuine parts like the 0316-0013 ensures that the compression force is distributed evenly around the gas tube, preventing deformation or crimping that could restrict flow or cause permanent damage to the torch assembly. This attention to detail preserves the longevity of the cutting attachment and ensures consistent flame characteristics.

Maintenance and Repair Applications

Over time, the internal components of a cutting attachment can degrade due to mechanical stress and regular wear. The tube ferrule is a consumable item that should be inspected whenever a torch is disassembled for cleaning or repair. If a gas tube is replaced or reseated, a new ferrule is typically required to establish a fresh, reliable seal. The Victor 0316-0013 is the exact replacement part needed to restore the CA 1350 and CA 1260 attachments to factory specifications. It is a vital inventory item for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) departments and authorized repair centers tasked with keeping welding and cutting equipment in safe working order.

Safety and Reliability

A compromised seal in an oxy-fuel system can lead to hazardous conditions, including gas leaks that increase the risk of flashbacks or external fires. By utilizing the correct Victor 0316-0013 Tube Ferrule, technicians can mitigate these risks effectively. The part ensures that the high-pressure oxygen and fuel gas streams remain isolated until they reach the mixing chamber, maintaining the designed safety parameters of the equipment. For professional fabricators and industrial sites relying on Victor's trusted cutting solutions, this small component plays a massive role in operational safety and productivity.
