1408-0033 - Victor 1408-0033 Replacement Friction Washer for VGS-350 & HSR 2500

Genuine Victor Replacement Parts for Industrial Gas Regulation

The Victor 1408-0033 Friction Washer is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the precision and safety of your industrial gas regulators. Specifically engineered for the VGS-350 Series Gaugeless Regulators and the HSR 2500 Series Regulators, this washer plays a vital role in the adjustment mechanism of the unit. In high-stakes industrial environments where gas flow and pressure must be controlled with exactitude, even small components like friction washers are essential for operational integrity.

Over time, the internal components of a regulator can succumb to wear and tear due to frequent adjustments and the mechanical stresses of daily use. The friction washer is responsible for providing the necessary tension against the adjustment screw or knob. This tension ensures that when an operator sets a specific pressure, the knob remains in place and does not drift due to vibration or accidental contact. A worn friction washer can lead to a loose adjustment feel, making it difficult to dial in precise settings, or worse, allowing the pressure setting to creep during operation.

By choosing the genuine Victor 1408-0033, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment. Victor Technologies is a world leader in gas equipment, and their OEM parts are manufactured to strict tolerances that aftermarket copies cannot guarantee. Using genuine parts ensures that the material composition and dimensional accuracy match the original specifications of your VGS-350 or HSR 2500 regulator. This compatibility is crucial for maintaining the safety certifications and performance standards of your gas delivery system.

Maintenance of gas regulators should always be performed by qualified personnel. When servicing your Victor regulator, replacing the friction washer is a simple yet effective step in a comprehensive overhaul. Whether you are repairing a regulator used in heavy construction, fabrication, or laboratory settings, this small part helps ensure that your equipment continues to function as designed, providing reliable gas control shift after shift.
