0750-0016 - Victor SR Series Regulator Adjusting Screw T-Handle Assembly

Restore Precision to Your Heavy-Duty Gas Control Systems

The Victor 0750-0016 Adjusting Screw Assembly is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Victor's heavy-duty industrial regulators. In the realm of oxy-fuel cutting and welding, the regulator acts as the primary control point for gas pressure, stepping down high cylinder pressures to usable working levels. The adjusting screw is the interface between the operator and the internal diaphragm mechanism; it applies the necessary spring tension to set the delivery pressure. Over time, threads can become worn, handles can bend from impact, or the assembly can seize due to environmental contaminants. This OEM assembly ensures that your equipment remains operational, safe, and accurate.

Engineered to the exact specifications of the original equipment, this assembly fits the SR 450, SR 460, and SR 700 series regulators. These models are workhorses in the industry, often found in shipyards, fabrication shops, and construction sites where durability is paramount. Using non-OEM parts in such high-pressure devices can compromise the thread engagement or the smooth operation required for fine pressure tuning. The Victor 0750-0016 provides the correct thread pitch and material hardness to interact seamlessly with the regulator bonnet, preventing cross-threading and ensuring a smooth, linear response when increasing or decreasing pressure.

The assembly features a robust T-handle design, which provides superior leverage compared to standard round knobs. This is particularly important for high-pressure regulators where significant spring tension must be overcome to achieve the desired outlet pressure. The T-bar allows operators to make adjustments easily, even while wearing heavy welding gloves. By replacing a damaged adjusting screw with this genuine Victor part, facilities managers and equipment technicians can extend the service life of their expensive gas apparatus, maintaining compliance with safety standards and ensuring consistent gas flow for critical applications.

Installation is straightforward for qualified technicians. The assembly includes the screw and the handle mechanism integrated for immediate use. Regular inspection of regulator adjusting screws is recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. If the screw becomes difficult to turn or shows signs of physical damage, immediate replacement with the 0750-0016 is the safest course of action to prevent regulator failure or gas delivery inconsistencies.
