OVERVIEW

Restore Precision with the Victor 0320-0044 High Pressure Seat

The Victor 0320-0044 Seat Assembly is a critical replacement component designed for the maintenance and repair of heavy-duty Victor gas regulators. Specifically engineered as a high-pressure seat, this assembly sits at the heart of your regulator's functionality, controlling the flow of high-pressure gas from the cylinder into the low-pressure chamber. Over time, the elastomeric sealing surface of a regulator seat can degrade due to normal wear, debris in the gas stream, or the immense mechanical stress of opening and closing high-pressure valves. When this occurs, the regulator may exhibit "creep," a dangerous condition where delivery pressure continues to rise even when the torch valves are closed.

This genuine Victor part is manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring a perfect seal and reliable operation. It is compatible with some of Victor's most robust regulator series, including the SR 450, SR 460, and SR 700 models. Using genuine OEM parts is essential for maintaining the safety certifications and performance standards of your equipment. A compromised seat not only affects flame stability and cut quality but can also lead to safety relief valve activation if internal pressures exceed safe limits.

Installation of the 0320-0044 requires a clean environment and proper knowledge of regulator assembly. The unit comes pre-assembled with the necessary sealing material embedded in a precision-machined brass carrier, ready to be installed into the regulator body. By replacing a worn seat promptly, you protect downstream equipment, ensure consistent gas flow, and maintain a safe working environment for all personnel.

Technical Application

This seat assembly is typically located in the high-pressure inlet side of the regulator. It works in conjunction with the nozzle and diaphragm to modulate gas pressure. It is suitable for use with various industrial gases as specified by the regulator's original design parameters. Always verify the specific parts list for your regulator model before installation.

FAQ

The most common sign is 'regulator creep.' This happens when you close your torch valve, but the low-pressure gauge on the regulator continues to rise slowly. This indicates the high-pressure seat is not sealing completely.

The 0320-0044 is designed for heavy-duty Victor regulators, specifically the SR 450, SR 460, and SR 700 series. Always check your specific regulator's parts breakdown to confirm compatibility.

No, this is a seat assembly. The sealing material is embedded into a brass carrier and is designed to seal on one side only. Once worn or damaged, the entire assembly must be replaced.

Generally, the high-pressure seat mechanics in the SR 450/460/700 series use the same seat assembly for both oxygen and fuel gas models, but you should always verify with the specific service manual for your gas type.

Genuine Victor parts are manufactured to precise tolerances and use materials compatible with specific gases and pressures. Using aftermarket parts can lead to leaks, premature failure, or safety hazards.

There is no set time interval; it depends on usage. However, it is recommended to inspect and potentially replace the seat during annual regulator certification or whenever performance issues like creep are observed.

You will need the appropriate wrenches to open the regulator body and a clean workspace. While not always requiring specialized proprietary tools, a torque wrench is recommended to ensure the regulator is reassembled to factory specifications.

Failure is often caused by debris entering the regulator (not 'cracking' the cylinder valve before attaching), normal wear and tear over time, or over-tightening the adjusting screw which forces the nozzle into the seat too hard.
