Genuine Victor 1407-0018 Replacement O-Ring

Maintain the integrity and safety of your oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment with the Victor 1407-0018 O-Ring. This genuine replacement part is engineered specifically for Victor torch handles, cutting attachments, and regulators, ensuring a perfect fit that generic alternatives cannot guarantee. In the world of high-pressure gas equipment, even a microscopic leak can lead to performance issues or safety hazards. Using authentic Victor parts is the best way to ensure your equipment operates exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Material Excellence: Buna-N Construction

The 1407-0018 is manufactured from high-quality Buna-N (Nitrile rubber). This material is the industry standard for general-purpose sealing applications due to its exceptional mechanical properties. Buna-N offers superior resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, water, and many other chemicals often found in industrial environments. Its resistance to compression set means it maintains its shape and sealing force over time, even after repeated assembly and disassembly of torch components. This durability translates to longer service intervals and reduced downtime for your operations.

Precision Dimensions for a Perfect Seal

Sealing components rely on precise geometry to function correctly. This O-ring features an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.796 inches, an Outer Diameter (OD) of 1.074 inches, and a Cross-Sectional Width of 0.139 inches. These dimensions are critical for creating the correct amount of "squeeze" within the O-ring groove, preventing gas bypass. Whether you are repairing a vintage Victor torch or maintaining a modern cutting outfit, this specific size is a common component in the Victor equipment ecosystem.

Application and Safety

Regular maintenance of O-rings is a vital part of welding safety. Over time, rubber seals can dry out, crack, or become flattened, leading to potential leaks. We recommend inspecting your equipment's O-rings during routine cleaning or whenever changing attachments. If you notice any signs of wear, immediate replacement with the Victor 1407-0018 is necessary. This simple, low-cost part protects your expensive equipment and, more importantly, the operator.
