Victor 3-W-1 Welding Nozzle: Precision Engineering for Medium Duty Applications

The Victor 3-W-1 Welding Nozzle (SKU: 0387-0033) represents the standard of excellence in oxy-fuel welding components. Designed specifically for the Victor 100 Series medium duty torch handles, this nozzle integrates advanced flow dynamics with rugged construction to deliver superior performance. At the heart of the nozzle is Victor's signature individual spiral mixer. This internal component is precision-engineered to blend oxygen and fuel gas—specifically Acetylene or Hydrogen—thoroughly before ignition. The result is a flame with optimum characteristics: stable, consistent, and easily controllable, which is essential for producing high-quality welds and uniform preheating.

Durability and ease of maintenance are critical in industrial environments, and the 3-W-1 excels in both. The assembly features a one-piece copper elbow tip that effectively dissipates heat, reducing the risk of flashback and extending the lifespan of the consumable. Surrounding the connection point is a heavy-duty brass coupling nut equipped with a built-in snap ring. This snap ring serves a dual purpose: it secures the assembly and protects the delicate cone-end of the nozzle from physical damage during handling or storage. This attention to detail ensures that the seating surfaces remain pristine, guaranteeing a proper fit over the life of the product.

One of the most practical features for operators is the double O-ring seal mechanism. Unlike traditional metal-to-metal seals that often require a wrench to tighten effectively, the double O-ring design provides a gas-tight seal that can be secured by hand. This not only speeds up the process of changing tips but also prevents the wear and tear associated with over-torquing threads. The nozzle produces a long cone flame with a 65-degree tip angle, making it versatile for a wide range of general-purpose welding tasks. Whether used for intricate fabrication or routine maintenance, the Victor 3-W-1 delivers the reliability and precision professionals demand.
