OVERVIEW

Victor 0967-0044 Oxygen Nut Brass CGA 540: Precision Engineering for Gas Control

The Victor 0967-0044 Oxygen Nut is a critical component for the maintenance and assembly of industrial oxygen regulation systems. Designed to meet the rigorous CGA 540 standard, this brass nut serves as the primary connection point between the regulator inlet nipple and the oxygen cylinder valve. In the realm of compressed gas equipment, the integrity of every connection is paramount, and this genuine Victor part ensures that your equipment meets the highest safety and performance standards.

Manufactured from high-grade brass, the 0967-0044 is engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses associated with frequent cylinder changes. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen service due to its non-sparking properties and resistance to deformation under torque. This nut features precision-cut threads that engage smoothly with cylinder valves, reducing the risk of cross-threading or galling, which can compromise the seal and lead to dangerous leaks. The hexagonal design allows for easy tightening with standard wrenches, ensuring a secure fit that can handle the high pressures typical of industrial oxygen cylinders.

This component is essential for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals tasked with refurbishing Victor regulators or assembling custom manifold systems. Over time, the threads on inlet nuts can become worn or damaged due to repeated use and overtightening. Replacing a compromised nut with the Victor 0967-0044 restores the connection integrity, preventing gas loss and ensuring accurate pressure regulation. It is compatible with a wide range of Victor oxygen regulators and is a staple inventory item for gas apparatus repair shops.

Safety in oxygen systems cannot be overstated. The CGA 540 standard is specific to oxygen to prevent the accidental connection of incompatible gases. This nut strictly adheres to these dimensional specifications. By using genuine Victor replacement parts, operators ensure that their equipment remains compliant with industry safety regulations. Whether for heavy industrial fabrication, medical gas supply, or laboratory applications, the Victor 0967-0044 provides the reliability required for critical gas delivery infrastructure.

FAQ

CGA 540 is the standard connection fitting established by the Compressed Gas Association for industrial oxygen cylinders and regulators. It ensures that only oxygen equipment can be connected to oxygen tanks, preventing dangerous cross-connections.

The Victor 0967-0044 is designed for many Victor oxygen regulators that use a standard inlet nipple. However, you should always check your specific regulator's parts diagram to ensure this is the correct part number for your model.

This nut is manufactured from high-quality brass. Brass is the standard material for oxygen fittings because it is durable, corrosion-resistant, and non-sparking, which is critical for safety in oxygen-enriched environments.

No. This nut is specifically machined for CGA 540 connections, which are exclusively for oxygen. Argon and CO2 use different CGA standards (typically CGA 580 or CGA 320) to prevent accidental mixing of gases.

Inspect the threads for signs of wear, flattening, or stripping. If the nut is difficult to thread onto the cylinder or if you cannot achieve a leak-tight seal without excessive force, it should be replaced immediately.

No, the Victor 0967-0044 is the brass nut only. The inlet nipple (the part that goes inside the nut and seats against the cylinder) is sold separately.

The CGA 540 standard uses a right-hand thread. This means you turn it clockwise to tighten, which is standard for non-fuel gases like oxygen.

Brass is used because it does not spark when struck against other metals. In an oxygen-rich environment, sparks can cause catastrophic fires or explosions, so using the correct material is a vital safety precaution.
