22X18 - Victor V-31 Station Shutoff Valve

Reliable Gas Control for Industrial Manifolds

The Victor V-31 Shutoff Valve (SKU: 22X18) is a critical component for any professional gas distribution system. Manufactured by ESAB under the renowned Victor brand, this valve is engineered to provide positive shutoff and flow control at station drops and manifold outlets. In industrial settings where safety and reliability are paramount, the V-31 stands out with its robust construction and precision engineering.

Constructed from high-quality brass, the V-31 is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. Brass is the material of choice for these applications due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and its spark-resistant properties, making it safe for use with oxygen and fuel gases. The valve features a durable stem and seat mechanism that ensures a leak-tight seal when closed, preventing gas wastage and mitigating safety hazards associated with leaking lines.

This valve is versatile and compatible with a wide range of welding and cutting gases, including Oxygen, Acetylene, Propane, and various Inert gases like Argon and Helium. It is typically installed at the end of a pipeline drop where a regulator or hose connects, giving the operator immediate control over the gas supply at their specific station. The ergonomic handle allows for smooth operation, enabling users to quickly open or cut off flow with minimal effort.

Key Applications:

• Manifold Systems: Essential for controlling flow at individual outlet points along a gas header.
• Station Drops: Provides a secure shutoff point for welders and fabricators at their specific workstations.
• Equipment Isolation: Allows for the safe isolation of downstream equipment (like regulators) for maintenance or replacement without shutting down the entire system.

Trust Josef Gas to supply authentic Victor equipment that meets the highest standards of safety and performance. The V-31 Shutoff Valve is a small but vital investment in the efficiency and safety of your facility's gas management infrastructure.
