0720-0043 - Victor Regulator Housing Cap for SR/VTS 450/700 Series

Genuine Victor Replacement Housing Cap for Heavy-Duty Regulators

The Victor 0720-0043 Housing Cap is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Victor's heavy-duty gas regulators. Engineered to meet the exact specifications of the original equipment, this housing cap is compatible with the SR 450, VTS 450, SR 700, and VTS 700 series regulators. These regulator series are renowned in the industrial sector for their high-flow capabilities and robust construction, often utilized in heavy fabrication, scrap yards, and large-scale manufacturing environments. Maintaining the structural integrity of these devices is paramount for safety and performance.

The housing cap, often referred to as the bonnet, serves a vital function within the regulator assembly. It encloses the main pressure-adjusting spring and provides the threaded interface for the adjusting screw. Because the SR and VTS series are designed for high-pressure applications, the housing cap is subjected to significant mechanical stress from the internal spring tension. Over time, threads can become worn, or the cap itself may sustain impact damage in rugged work environments. Replacing a compromised housing cap with the genuine Victor 0720-0043 ensures that the regulator continues to operate within its design parameters, maintaining accurate delivery pressure and preventing potential catastrophic failures associated with housing ruptures.

Constructed from durable, high-quality materials, this OEM part guarantees proper thread engagement with the regulator body. Mismatched or aftermarket caps may suffer from thread pitch deviations, leading to cross-threading or insufficient clamping force on the diaphragm assembly. By choosing the genuine Victor 0720-0043, maintenance personnel and safety officers can be confident that the repaired regulator meets the manufacturer's rigorous safety standards. This part is essential for any comprehensive regulator repair kit or maintenance inventory in facilities utilizing Victor's professional-grade gas equipment.

Installation of the housing cap should always be performed by qualified personnel familiar with gas equipment repair. Proper torque specifications and assembly procedures must be followed to ensure a leak-free seal and correct spring calibration. This component is sold individually and does not include the internal spring, adjusting screw, or diaphragm, which may need to be inspected or replaced separately during the overhaul process.
