0717-0007 - Victor Regulator Inlet Filter Screen Replacement

Product Overview

The Victor 0717-0007 Filter Screen is an essential maintenance component designed for Victor gas regulators. In the precise world of industrial gas control, the integrity of the regulator seat is paramount. This filter screen is engineered to fit securely within the inlet nipple of the regulator, serving as the primary barrier against contaminants that may be present in gas cylinders or supply lines. Particulate matter such as rust, scale, and dust can severely compromise the performance of a regulator, leading to issues such as pressure creep, diaphragm damage, and inconsistent flow rates.

Technical Specifications & Compatibility

Manufactured to Victor's exacting standards, the 0717-0007 ensures a precise fit that does not impede the necessary gas flow while effectively trapping harmful debris. It is compatible with a wide range of Victor industrial regulators used in oxy-fuel cutting, welding, and heating applications. Regular inspection and replacement of the inlet filter are recommended as part of a standard preventative maintenance schedule (PM). A clogged filter can result in gas starvation, while a missing or damaged filter exposes the internal mechanics of the regulator to accelerated wear and potential failure.

Maintenance & Safety

For MRO professionals and safety managers, ensuring that all gas regulation equipment is fitted with clean, intact filter screens is a critical safety protocol. Debris entering the high-pressure side of a regulator can cause the seat to fail to seal, allowing delivery pressure to rise dangerously when the torch is off (creep). By stocking and installing the Victor 0717-0007, facilities can reduce downtime associated with regulator repairs and enhance the overall safety of their gas distribution systems. This part is a direct OEM replacement, ensuring that the material compatibility and pressure ratings meet the original equipment specifications.
