0967-0034 - Victor Oxygen Swivel 1/4 NPT x CGA 540 with Integrated Filter

Victor 0967-0034 Brass Swivel with Filter for Oxygen Service

The Victor 0967-0034 is a specialized brass swivel component designed to facilitate secure and flexible connections in high-pressure oxygen systems. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas control equipment, this fitting is an essential part for professionals maintaining or assembling gas manifolds, pigtails, and distribution systems. The unit features a robust brass body, which is the industry standard for oxygen service due to its resistance to ignition and corrosion, ensuring long-term safety and reliability in industrial environments.

One of the defining features of this specific swivel is the integrated filter. In gas distribution, particularly with oxygen, particulate contamination can pose significant risks to regulators and valves downstream. Debris can damage soft seats or, in extreme cases with high-pressure oxygen, create ignition hazards. The built-in filter in the 0967-0034 acts as a critical line of defense, trapping contaminants before they enter sensitive equipment. This extends the lifespan of your regulators and enhances the overall safety of the manifold system.

The connection specifications include a 1/4-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) on one side and a CGA 540 connection on the other. CGA 540 is the standard Compressed Gas Association fitting for oxygen cylinders in the United States and Canada. The NPT thread allows for versatile integration into standard piping or hose assemblies. The swivel action itself is crucial for installation; it allows the nut to rotate independently of the tailpiece, preventing hose twisting or kinking when tightening the connection to a cylinder or manifold block. This reduces stress on the hose or pigtail, preventing premature failure.

Whether you are repairing an existing Victor manifold or fabricating a custom gas distribution solution, using genuine Victor components like the 0967-0034 ensures compatibility and adherence to safety standards. Its precision machining guarantees a tight, leak-free seal when properly torqued, which is paramount when handling compressed oxygen. Trust in the quality of Victor's manufacturing to maintain the integrity of your gas supply operations.
