1429-0030 - Victor Replacement Lens for 50mm Ametek Gauge

Victor 1429-0030 Replacement Lens for 50mm Ametek Gauges

The Victor 1429-0030 is a specialized replacement lens designed to fit 50mm (approximately 2-inch) Ametek gauges, which are standard components on many Victor industrial gas regulators. In the demanding environment of industrial welding and cutting, regulator gauges are frequently exposed to sparks, spatter, dust, and accidental impacts. Over time, the original lens may become scratched, clouded, cracked, or completely shattered, compromising the operator's ability to read pressure settings accurately. This replacement part provides a direct, OEM-quality solution to restore the gauge to full functionality and safety standards.

Manufactured from high-grade, impact-resistant polycarbonate, this lens offers superior durability compared to standard glass covers. Polycarbonate is chosen for its optical clarity and its resistance to shattering, which is a critical safety feature in high-pressure gas applications. A cracked lens not only obscures the dial but can also allow debris and moisture to enter the gauge mechanism, potentially causing the needle to stick or the internal bourdon tube to corrode. By replacing a damaged lens promptly with the Victor 1429-0030, users protect the delicate internal components of the gauge, extending the lifespan of the entire regulator assembly.

This lens is specifically threaded or sized to interface seamlessly with the housing of Ametek-manufactured gauges used by Victor. The precise fit ensures that the lens stays securely in place during transport and operation. Maintenance personnel and equipment managers will appreciate the ease of installation, which typically involves simply unscrewing the damaged bezel or lens cover and threading on the new unit. This component is an essential spare part for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventories in fabrication shops, shipyards, and construction sites where Victor oxy-fuel equipment is heavily utilized.

Ensuring that pressure readings are clearly visible is paramount for process control and safety. Whether monitoring cylinder contents or setting delivery pressure for a cutting torch, the operator relies on the gauge. The Victor 1429-0030 restores that critical line of sight, ensuring that your welding and cutting operations proceed with precision and safety. It is compatible with a wide range of Victor regulators that utilize the 50mm Ametek gauge form factor.
