0967-0047 - Victor CGA-540 Oxygen Inlet Nut Replacement

Genuine Victor Replacement Oxygen Nut

The Victor 0967-0047 Oxygen Nut is a critical component for maintaining the safety and functionality of your oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. Designed specifically for CGA-540 connections, this nut is the standard inlet fitting used to secure oxygen regulators to high-pressure cylinders. Manufactured by Victor, a leader in gas control equipment, this part ensures that your setup meets the rigorous demands of industrial environments.

Precision Engineering and Compatibility

This nut is precision-machined from high-grade brass, a material chosen for its durability, resistance to sparking, and ability to withstand high torque without stripping threads. It is engineered to pair perfectly with the Victor 0967-0039 nipple (sold separately), creating a complete inlet assembly that seats firmly into the cylinder valve. Using genuine Victor parts guarantees that the threading and dimensions are exact, preventing leaks that can occur with ill-fitting generic alternatives.

Safety in High-Pressure Applications

Oxygen systems operate under high pressure, often exceeding 2000 PSI in full cylinders. The integrity of the inlet connection is paramount to operator safety. Over time, the threads on inlet nuts can become worn, rounded, or damaged due to frequent cylinder changes. A compromised nut may lead to improper seating or dangerous gas leaks. Replacing worn fittings with the Victor 0967-0047 ensures a secure mechanical connection, protecting both the equipment and the user from potential hazards associated with high-pressure oxygen leaks.

Application and Installation

This nut is widely used across various industries, including fabrication, construction, and medical gas supply, wherever CGA-540 oxygen connections are standard. Installation is straightforward, requiring a standard wrench to tighten the nut onto the cylinder valve. It is an essential spare part for maintenance departments and welders who rely on their equipment daily. By keeping your regulator connections in top condition, you ensure consistent gas flow and prolong the lifespan of your entire oxy-fuel outfit.
