Victor 315 questions

admin

So this torch body should have a flashback/checkvalve at the base for safety? It doesn't have internal device? Is this 9/16 threads?It can be used for cutting torch which it came with (victor2450). Can I also use torch body with welding/blazing tips, 300 series? Do used tips wear out or can I just buy them on ebay?It hasn't been used in at least 10 years. should I have it rebuilt or hook it up and try it?Also this is a Victor Heavy duty Torch will it work with Victor SR 200 C Medium Duty Regulator?

Reply:if the knobs turn freely and there isn't any trash in the openings of the torch handle it should be fine.  The cutting head should be fine if the cutting lever moves freely as well.  The tip needs to be replaced.  You can buy them at any LWS and most hardware stores.  I have even seen walmart carry cutting tips for that cutting head.There are not any flashbacks on that torch handle.  you install them between  the handle and the supply lines.  Also, you can use them with those regulators.finally, you can use any welding tip, rosebud tip, ect. made for that torch handle.  the can be expensive so take care of them.  learn to use a tip cleaner correctly and you can use them for a very long time.
