0320-0044 - Victor High Pressure Regulator Seat Assembly 0320-0044

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.
