0964-0020 - Victor Brass Swivel 1/8 NPTM x CGA 200 (No Filter)

Technical Overview of the Victor 0964-0020 Brass Swivel

The Victor 0964-0020 is a specialized brass swivel fitting designed for gas regulation equipment. It functions as a critical interface component, typically utilized to connect a regulator body to a gas cylinder valve or manifold system. This specific model features a 1/8-inch National Pipe Thread Male (NPTM) connection on one end and a CGA 200 connection on the other. The CGA 200 standard is explicitly designated for Acetylene gas service, commonly found on "MC" style small cylinders.

Constructed from high-quality brass, this swivel offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, essential for maintaining safety in oxy-fuel environments. Unlike some inlet assemblies, this unit is manufactured without an integrated sintered filter (W/O FLTR), making it suitable for applications where external filtration is present or where specific flow characteristics are required that might be impeded by a standard filter. The swivel action allows for the orientation of the regulator to be adjusted relative to the cylinder, reducing strain on the piping and ensuring the gauges can be positioned for optimal visibility.

Industrial maintenance professionals and equipment repair specialists rely on genuine Victor parts like the 0964-0020 to maintain the integrity of their gas delivery systems. Proper selection of fittings based on CGA standards is paramount for safety; the CGA 200 fitting ensures that this part cannot be accidentally connected to incompatible gas cylinders, adhering to industry safety protocols.
