0969-0005 - Victor Brass Swivel 1/4 NPT x CGA 520 with Filter

Technical Overview of the Victor 0969-0005 Brass Swivel

The Victor 0969-0005 is a precision-engineered brass swivel assembly designed for use in oxy-fuel gas distribution systems. Specifically calibrated for Acetylene service, this component features a CGA 520 connection, which is the standard fitting for Acetylene B-tanks (40 cubic feet). The opposing end utilizes a 1/4-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread, providing a universal interface for various manifolds, pigtails, and regulator inlets found in industrial settings.

Material integrity is paramount in high-pressure gas applications. This swivel is manufactured from high-grade brass, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. A critical feature of this assembly is the inclusion of an integrated filter. This sintered element serves as a primary defense against particulate matter, preventing debris from entering sensitive downstream components such as regulators and flowmeters. By filtering the gas stream at the connection point, the 0969-0005 helps extend the service life of the entire welding or cutting apparatus.

The swivel mechanism itself is designed to facilitate easier installation by allowing independent rotation of the connecting nut, thereby eliminating hose twist and reducing torque transfer to the piping system. This ensures a secure, leak-proof seal without compromising the structural integrity of the mating threads. As a genuine Victor part, it meets strict manufacturing tolerances and safety standards required for handling flammable gases.
