1412-0107 - Victor 3/16" x 12.5' Grade R Acetylene Hose (A-Fittings)

Technical Overview of Victor 1412-0107

The Victor 1412-0107 is a specialized single-line acetylene hose designed for light-duty oxy-fuel applications. It is manufactured to meet Grade R specifications, making it suitable strictly for acetylene gas service. The hose features an inner diameter (ID) of 3/16 inch, which is optimized for maintaining adequate flow rates in smaller, portable torch setups without excessive bulk or weight.

This assembly comes pre-fitted with "A" size connections (3/8"-24 threads), which are distinct from standard "B" size fittings found on larger industrial equipment. These smaller fittings are standard on many portable tote kits and light-duty handles (such as the Victor J-Series). The hose length is 12.5 feet, providing sufficient reach for maintenance and HVAC work while remaining compact enough for easy storage in cylinder totes.

Construction-wise, the hose utilizes a red rubber cover that is color-coded for fuel gas identification, adhering to industry safety standards. The reinforcement layers provide structural integrity up to rated working pressures (typically 200 PSI for this class), while the cover offers resistance to abrasion and incidental sparks. Users must note that Grade R hoses are not compatible with LP gas (propane) or propylene; use with alternate fuels requires Grade T hose.
