0910-0094 - Victor Brass Inlet Connection 1/4 NPT x 1/8 NPT with Flow Restrictor

Precision Gas Control with Victor Components

The Victor 0910-0094 Inlet Connection is a specialized brass fitting designed to facilitate precise gas management within industrial regulation systems. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas equipment technology, this component serves a dual purpose: it acts as a robust mechanical adapter between varying thread sizes and functions as a critical flow control device. The fitting features a 1/4-18 NPT male thread on one end and a 1/8-27 NPT male thread on the opposing end, allowing for seamless integration into specific regulator bodies or manifold assemblies where stepping down or adapting between these standard pipe sizes is required.

A defining characteristic of this component is its integrated flow restrictor. In high-pressure gas systems or applications requiring stable downstream flow, unrestricted orifices can lead to pressure spikes or 'gas surges,' particularly upon the initial opening of a valve. This internal restriction orifice is calibrated to limit the maximum volume of gas that can pass through the fitting, thereby protecting sensitive downstream instrumentation and ensuring a consistent delivery rate. This is particularly vital in automated welding setups or laboratory environments where flow consistency is paramount for process stability.

Constructed from high-quality brass, the 0910-0094 offers excellent resistance to corrosion and deformation. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen and inert gas fittings due to its non-sparking properties and durability under fluctuating pressures. The precision-machined threads ensure a tight, leak-free seal when installed with appropriate thread sealants (such as PTFE tape approved for the specific gas service). Maintenance professionals and industrial gas technicians rely on genuine Victor parts like this inlet connection to maintain the integrity and safety certification of their gas regulation equipment.

Whether used during the refurbishment of vintage regulators or the assembly of custom gas distribution panels, this fitting provides the reliability expected from OEM components. Its specific thread combination and flow-restricting nature make it a unique solution for tailored gas control challenges.
