0387-0028 - Victor 000-W-1 Acetylene Welding Nozzle for 100 Series Handles

Victor 0387-0028: Precision W-1 Series Nozzle

The Victor 000-W-1 Welding Nozzle is a high-specification accessory designed for use with Victor 100 Series torch handles. Identified by the part number 0387-0028, this nozzle represents the gold standard in medium-duty oxy-acetylene welding. It is engineered to provide a 65-degree tip angle and a long cone flame, making it highly effective for a variety of welding and brazing applications where precision heat control is paramount.

Advanced Mixer Technology
Unlike generic tips that rely on handle-mounted mixers, the Victor W-1 series features an individual spiral mixer built directly into the nozzle assembly. This design choice ensures that the gas mixture is optimized specifically for the tip size, resulting in superior flame stability and resistance to flashbacks. The spiral mixer creates a turbulent flow that thoroughly blends the oxygen and fuel gas, delivering a clean, hot flame that is easy to control. This specific model, size 000, is ideal for working with thinner gauge metals where excessive heat input must be avoided.

Durability and Ease of Use
The construction of the 000-W-1 nozzle focuses on longevity and operational efficiency. The tip itself is machined from one-piece copper, chosen for its thermal conductivity and resistance to spatter adhesion. The coupling nut is made from robust brass and features a built-in snap ring that protects the seating surface. A key advantage of this nozzle is the double O-ring seal system. This feature ensures a leak-proof seal against the torch handle without requiring the use of a wrench, facilitating rapid tip changes in the field.

Specifications and Compatibility
This nozzle is strictly compatible with Acetylene and Hydrogen gases. It is designed to fit Victor 100 Series handles (medium duty). It is not compatible with the larger 300 Series handles (which use W series nozzles). Welders Supply provides this genuine Victor part to ensure your equipment operates at peak efficiency. With 100% flame testing performed at the factory, you can trust the 000-W-1 to perform consistently from the first ignition.
