0600-0014 - Victor 200 PSI Brass Safety Relief Valve

Victor 0600-0014 Brass Relief Valve: Technical Overview

The Victor 0600-0014 is a precision-engineered relief valve designed to maintain the safety and integrity of gas regulation systems. Rated with a preset cracking pressure of 200 PSI (pounds per square inch), this component serves as the primary defense against over-pressurization events in welding regulators, gas manifolds, and distribution piping. In industrial gas applications, maintaining pressure within design limits is critical to prevent catastrophic failure of diaphragms, gauges, and hoses. This valve automatically actuates when system pressure exceeds the 200 PSI threshold, venting the excess gas to the atmosphere until the pressure returns to a safe operating level.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the 0600-0014 offers superior mechanical strength and resistance to environmental corrosion. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen and inert gas service due to its non-sparking properties and resistance to oxidation. The valve features a spring-loaded mechanism that ensures a positive seal during normal operation, preventing gas loss. The internal seating surface is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring that the valve reseats correctly after a relief event. This reliability is essential for continuous duty cycles in fabrication shops, manufacturing plants, and field operations where equipment downtime must be minimized.

Integration of the Victor 0600-0014 into existing systems is straightforward, designed to fit standard ports on compatible Victor equipment. It is a direct OEM replacement part, ensuring that the flow characteristics and relief capacity match the original specifications of the device it protects. Regular inspection of relief valves is a mandatory aspect of preventative maintenance programs; if a valve shows signs of leakage, physical damage, or fails to hold pressure, immediate replacement with this certified component is required to maintain compliance with safety standards such as those set by OSHA and the CGA (Compressed Gas Association).

Engineers and maintenance technicians rely on genuine Victor parts like the 0600-0014 to ensure system predictability. Unlike generic alternatives, this valve is calibrated to specific tolerances required for Victor's gas control equipment. Whether used in a central gas system or on individual cylinder regulators, this relief valve provides the assurance that pressure spikes—caused by regulator seat failure or thermal expansion—are managed safely and effectively.
