1406-0005 - Victor Replacement Washer .625 OD x .281 ID

Genuine Victor Replacement Washer for Gas Apparatus

The Victor 1406-0005 Washer is a critical replacement component designed specifically for Victor oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. In the realm of industrial gas apparatus, precision is not merely a luxury—it is a safety requirement. This washer is engineered to meet the exact original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, ensuring that your regulators, torches, and flow control devices operate within their intended design parameters. Using non-standard or generic washers in high-pressure gas systems can lead to improper seating, leaks, or mechanical failure, posing significant risks to operators and facility safety.

This specific washer features an Outer Diameter (OD) of 0.625 inches, an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.281 inches, and a thickness of 0.062 inches. These dimensions are calibrated to fit specific stems, bolts, or valve assemblies within the Victor product line. The "S" designation typically indicates a steel construction, providing the necessary rigidity and resistance to compression set that soft metals or plastics cannot offer in high-stress applications. Whether used as a spacer to achieve correct alignment or as a load-bearing surface to distribute fastener pressure, this washer plays a vital role in the mechanical integrity of your equipment.

Maintenance professionals understand that the longevity of gas equipment depends on the quality of the smallest parts. Over time, washers can become corroded, compressed, or lost during routine cleaning and repair. Replacing them with the correct Victor 1406-0005 part ensures that the assembly retains its factory-specified tolerances. This attention to detail prevents the "creeping" of settings and ensures that knobs and levers actuate smoothly without binding or wobbling.

Josef Gas recommends keeping a stock of essential small parts like the 1406-0005 washer to minimize downtime during scheduled maintenance or unexpected repairs. By choosing genuine Victor parts, you are investing in the continued reliability and safety of your industrial gas systems, ensuring compliance with safety standards and prolonging the service life of your valuable tools.
