1407-0215 - Victor 1407-0215 Replacement O-Ring, Buna-N

Technical Overview of the Victor 1407-0215 O-Ring

The Victor 1407-0215 is a precision-engineered O-ring designed specifically for use within Victor gas regulation and distribution equipment. Manufactured from Buna-N (Nitrile rubber), this component offers a balance of mechanical properties that are essential for maintaining the integrity of gas systems. Buna-N is widely selected for its excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and water, as well as its low compression set, which ensures that the seal maintains its shape and effectiveness over prolonged periods of compression within a regulator body or torch assembly.

Dimensional accuracy is critical in high-pressure gas applications. This O-ring features an Internal Diameter (ID) of 2.364 inches, an Outer Diameter (OD) of 2.50 inches, and a cross-sectional width of 0.070 inches. These specific measurements are tailored to fit machined grooves in Victor equipment, preventing gas bypass and external leaks. Using non-OEM generic O-rings in such applications can lead to fitting issues, extrusion under pressure, or material incompatibility, posing significant safety risks in oxy-fuel or shielding gas environments.

Maintenance professionals and equipment technicians rely on genuine Victor parts to ensure compliance with safety standards and to restore equipment to factory specifications. The 1407-0215 is commonly utilized in the assembly of heavy-duty regulators, serving as a static seal between the bonnet and body or other mating surfaces. Proper installation involves ensuring the seating groove is clean and free of debris to maximize the sealing efficiency of the nitrile material.

By choosing the Victor 1407-0215, operators ensure that their gas apparatus continues to function with the precision and safety margin intended by the manufacturer. It is a critical spare part for MRO inventories in fabrication shops, shipyards, and industrial facilities utilizing Victor gas control technologies.
