1126-0061 - Victor Double Station Fuel Gas Drop with Ball Seat Valves

Technical Overview of the Victor Double Station Drop

The Victor 1126-0061 is a precision-engineered Double Station Drop designed specifically for fuel gas service in industrial manifold systems. As a critical component in gas distribution, this station drop serves as the termination point where the main facility piping connects to the user's equipment. The unit is configured as a "double station," meaning it provides two separate outlet points from a single supply line drop, effectively doubling the utility of a single piping run. This is particularly advantageous in high-density welding environments where maximizing floor space and minimizing piping infrastructure is essential.

Constructed from high-grade industrial brass, the assembly is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty manufacturing environments. The core feature of this model is the inclusion of Ball Seat Valves. Unlike diaphragm or needle valves, ball seat valves offer a robust seating mechanism that ensures a positive, leak-tight shut-off. This is paramount when handling fuel gases such as Acetylene, Propane, or Propylene, where leak integrity is a critical safety concern. The valves are designed to operate smoothly even after prolonged periods of disuse, reducing maintenance requirements for facility managers.

Installation of the Victor Double Station Drop is straightforward, typically mounting securely to a wall, column, or workstation beam. The inlet connects to the facility's header piping, while the outlets are prepped to accept station regulators or hoses, depending on the specific shop configuration. By centralizing the connection points, this assembly aids in maintaining a clean, organized, and code-compliant gas distribution network. It is compatible with standard Western Brass and manifold parts, ensuring seamless integration into existing Victor-equipped facilities.

In summary, the 1126-0061 represents a reliable, safety-focused solution for expanding gas access in professional settings. Its durable construction, combined with the efficiency of a dual-outlet design, makes it a standard specification for engineers designing welding labs, fabrication plants, and maintenance facilities.
