0970-0015 - Victor Brass Swivel with Filter for Gas Manifolds (CGA 510/580/590)

Precision Gas Control Components

The Victor 0970-0015 Swivel, Brass, W/Fltr is a critical component designed for professional gas distribution systems. Manufactured by Victor, a leader in gas control technology, this swivel fitting is engineered to facilitate secure and flexible connections within gas manifolds. The unit is constructed from high-grade brass, offering superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of high-pressure gas systems over long service intervals.

One of the defining features of this component is its integrated filter. In industrial environments, particulate matter can inadvertently enter gas streams, potentially damaging sensitive regulators, flowmeters, and downstream instrumentation. The built-in filter in the 0970-0015 acts as a first line of defense, trapping debris before it can cause mechanical failure or safety hazards. This makes it an indispensable part for maintaining the reliability of your gas supply infrastructure.

The swivel design itself addresses a common challenge in manifold assembly: component alignment and stress management. Rigid connections can transmit torque and bending moments to pigtails and piping, leading to premature fatigue and leaks. By incorporating a swivel mechanism, this fitting allows for easier alignment during installation and reduces residual stress on the assembly. It is specified for use with CGA 510, CGA 580, and CGA 590 connections, making it versatile for a range of industrial gases including Acetylene, Inert Gases (Argon, Nitrogen, Helium), and industrial air.

With a length of approximately 2.5 inches, this fitting is dimensioned to fit standard Victor manifold configurations. Whether you are repairing an existing manifold or assembling a new gas distribution panel, using genuine Victor replacement parts like the 0970-0015 ensures compatibility, safety compliance, and optimal performance.
