0761-0132 - Victor Regulator Adjusting Spring 15 PSI Range

Genuine Victor Replacement Adjusting Spring

The Victor 0761-0132 Adjusting Spring (15#) is a critical internal component designed for specific Victor gas regulators. In the anatomy of a pressure regulator, the adjusting spring plays a vital role in determining the delivery pressure of the gas. Situated beneath the regulator bonnet and compressed by the adjusting screw, this spring exerts force upon the diaphragm. This force counteracts the gas pressure entering the low-pressure chamber, allowing the user to set a stable outlet pressure. The "15#" designation typically indicates that this spring is calibrated for a specific pressure range, often associated with lower pressure applications such as acetylene or specific low-pressure oxygen delivery requirements.

Over time, mechanical springs can suffer from metal fatigue, corrosion, or permanent deformation (set), which can compromise the regulator's ability to hold a steady pressure or reach the desired maximum setting. Using a genuine Victor replacement ensures that the spring rate (the amount of force required to compress the spring) matches the original engineering specifications of the device. This is crucial for safety; an incorrect spring could lead to inability to shut off flow, creeping pressure, or the inability to achieve the necessary working pressure for your torch or application.

Maintenance of gas equipment should always be performed by qualified personnel. When rebuilding or repairing a regulator, replacing the adjusting spring is often a necessary step if the old spring shows signs of rust, distortion, or if the regulator feels "spongy" during adjustment. The Victor 0761-0132 is manufactured to the high standards expected from Victor Technologies, a leader in gas control equipment. By choosing OEM parts, you ensure the longevity of your equipment and the safety of your work environment. This component is compatible with specific Victor regulator bodies designed for this spring class.

Whether you are a certified repair technician or managing the maintenance of a fleet of welding equipment, having the correct internal parts is essential. This spring provides the consistent resistance needed for the diaphragm to modulate gas flow smoothly, preventing pressure spikes and ensuring a clean, consistent flame or gas shield. Trust in genuine Victor parts to keep your oxy-fuel and gas distribution systems running at peak performance.
