1123-0713 - Victor 36-Inch Chrome Oxygen Pigtail CGA 540

High-Performance Oxygen Manifold Connection

The Victor 1123-0713 is a premium-grade gas pigtail designed specifically for the integration of oxygen cylinders into high-pressure manifold systems. Manufactured under the renowned Victor Technologies brand (now part of ESAB), this component is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial gas distribution. The pigtail features a standard CGA 540 connection, ensuring compatibility with industrial oxygen cylinders and corresponding manifold headers. Its construction is robust, capable of handling the high pressures typically associated with compressed oxygen, rated up to 3000 PSIG service pressure.

One of the defining characteristics of this model is its 36-inch length. In manifold configurations, flexibility and reach are critical for accommodating cylinders of varying sizes or for managing banks where cylinders may not be perfectly aligned with the header bar. This extended length allows for a stress-free connection, reducing the mechanical load on the fittings and ensuring a secure seal. The tubing is typically formed from annealed copper, which provides the necessary ductility for installation while maintaining the structural integrity required for high-pressure gas containment.

The exterior of the pigtail is finished with a high-quality chrome plating. In industrial environments, components are often exposed to humidity, fumes, and mechanical wear. The chrome finish serves a dual purpose: it provides a significant barrier against corrosion and oxidation, extending the service life of the part, and it offers a clean, professional appearance that is often required in laboratory, medical, or high-specification industrial setups. This pigtail is an essential component for facility managers and MRO specialists maintaining central gas systems, ensuring safe and efficient oxygen delivery from the source bank to the regulation point.

Safety and compliance are paramount in oxygen service. The Victor 1123-0713 is manufactured to strict tolerances to prevent leaks and ensure reliable flow. When installing, it is crucial to ensure that all mating surfaces are clean and free of oil or grease, as per standard oxygen safety protocols. This pigtail represents a reliable link in the gas supply chain, minimizing downtime and maintenance requirements for large-scale welding, cutting, or heating operations.
