OVERVIEW

Genuine Miller 13236 Cutting Valve Spring

The Miller 13236 Spring, Cutting Valve is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the operational integrity of your oxy-fuel cutting equipment. As a genuine OEM part, it is engineered to meet the exact specifications required for Miller and compatible Smith Equipment cutting attachments. This compression spring is located within the cutting valve assembly, providing the necessary tension to return the cutting lever to the closed position immediately upon release. Failure of this spring can lead to dangerous oxygen leaks, inability to stop the cutting stream, or poor process control.

Constructed from high-quality spring steel, the 13236 offers excellent fatigue resistance and durability under the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of industrial welding and cutting environments. Regular maintenance of torch assemblies is vital for safety and performance; replacing a worn or fatigued valve spring is a simple yet essential repair. This part ensures that the high-pressure cutting oxygen is strictly controlled, allowing for precise starts and stops during fabrication tasks.

When servicing your equipment, using authentic Miller parts guarantees proper fitment and function. Generic springs may not offer the correct compression rate or dimensional accuracy, potentially compromising the seal of the valve. The Miller 13236 is the specified replacement for restoring the tactile response and safety mechanism of your cutting torch's oxygen valve system.

FAQ

The Miller 13236 spring is a compression spring designed to return the cutting oxygen valve to the closed position when the torch lever is released, stopping the flow of oxygen.

Signs include a cutting lever that feels loose, does not snap back immediately, or if the cutting oxygen continues to flow or leak after the lever is released.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM Miller 13236 spring, ensuring correct specifications and quality materials.

This spring is designed specifically for Miller and associated (e.g., Smith Equipment) torch assemblies. It is not recommended for other brands unless specified by the manufacturer.

It is manufactured from durable spring steel designed to maintain tension and resist fatigue over time.

Installation typically involves unscrewing the valve assembly cap, removing the old spring and valve stem, and reassembling with the new spring. Always ensure the system is depressurized first.

A functioning spring ensures the high-pressure oxygen stream stops immediately when intended, preventing accidental fires, burns, or gas waste.

No, this item is the spring only. The valve stem and seating components are usually sold separately or reused if in good condition.
