0610-0005 - Victor 0610-0005 Adjusting Spring for SR Series Regulators

Genuine Victor Replacement Adjusting Spring

The Victor 0610-0005 Adjusting Spring is the OEM replacement tension spring for Victor's heavy-duty line of regulators, including the SR 450, SR 460, and SR 700 series. In any spring-loaded pressure regulator, the adjusting spring is the heart of the control mechanism. It provides the counter-force against the diaphragm that determines the outlet pressure. If you are experiencing "creep" (where pressure rises slowly when the torch is off) or if the adjustment knob feels loose or unresponsive, a fatigued or broken adjusting spring could be a contributing factor.

Manufactured from high-grade spring steel, this component is heat-treated to retain its memory and tension properties over thousands of adjustment cycles. It is designed to fit perfectly within the bonnet of compatible Victor regulators, ensuring smooth travel and precise pressure settings. Using incorrect springs can lead to dangerous over-pressurization or the inability to reach required working pressures. This part (0610-0005) is specifically calibrated for the pressure ranges associated with the heavy-duty SR series, ensuring that your gauge readings match the actual output.

Technical Application: This spring is located inside the regulator bonnet, between the slip ring/spring button and the diaphragm plate. When servicing your regulator, always ensure the system is fully depressurized before disassembly. Inspecting and replacing the adjusting spring is a standard part of a comprehensive regulator overhaul. Pair this with a new diaphragm and seat assembly for a complete restoration of your Victor equipment. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper calibration and leak-free operation.
