0657-0032 - Victor Fuel Gas Quick Connect Plug - Male End

Reliable Fuel Gas Connection

The Victor 0657-0032 Plug Assembly is a critical component for industrial oxy-fuel systems, designed to facilitate the rapid connection and disconnection of fuel gas lines. Manufactured by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, this plug assembly is engineered to meet rigorous safety and performance standards. It is specifically keyed and threaded for fuel gas service, utilizing left-hand threads to physically prevent accidental connection to oxygen systems, which is a paramount safety feature in any welding or cutting setup.

Constructed from high-quality brass, the 0657-0032 offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear. This durability is essential for components that are frequently handled and subjected to the harsh conditions of metal fabrication shops and construction sites. The precision machining ensures a tight, leak-free seal when engaged with a compatible quick disconnect socket, maintaining system integrity and preventing hazardous gas leaks. This plug is typically installed on the torch handle or regulator outlet, allowing the operator to snap the hose into place instantly without the need for wrenches.

In professional gas distribution environments, efficiency is key. The quick disconnect system eliminates the time-consuming process of threading and unthreading fittings every time a torch needs to be changed or a hose needs to be extended. This plug assembly is compatible with standard B-size fittings (9/16"-18), making it a versatile addition to existing Victor-style equipment. Whether used for acetylene, propane, or other fuel gases, the Victor 0657-0032 provides a secure and reliable connection point that professionals can trust.

Maintenance and inspection of gas fittings are crucial for safety. The brass material allows for easy visual inspection of threads and sealing surfaces. Users should regularly check the plug for signs of wear or damage to the O-ring sealing surface (located on the mating socket) to ensure continued safe operation. By investing in genuine Victor components like the 0657-0032, facilities ensure compatibility and adherence to industrial safety protocols.
