OVERVIEW

Protect Your Flowmeter with the Victor 1408-0002

Keep your welding gas equipment running smoothly with the Victor 1408-0002 Float Bumper. If you have ever noticed the small ball inside your flowmeter rattling around or hitting the top of the tube when you open the cylinder valve, you know how important it is to have a proper cushion in place. This small but mighty part acts as a shock absorber for the float inside your flowmeter, preventing it from damaging the glass or polycarbonate tube.

Flowmeters are precision instruments, and a cracked tube means a gas leak, wasted money, and potential shielding issues in your welds. This replacement bumper is the exact part you need to fix up an old Victor regulator or replace a worn-out stop. It is an easy fix that can save you from having to buy a completely new flowmeter assembly down the road.

Whether you are repairing a shop regulator or performing maintenance on your portable rig, using genuine Victor parts ensures everything fits right the first time. Don't let a missing or damaged bumper compromise your gas coverage. Pop this replacement in and get back to welding with confidence, knowing your flow readings are accurate and your equipment is protected.

Why Maintenance Matters

Regularly checking your regulator and flowmeter parts helps avoid downtime. A simple part like this float bumper ensures that your gas flow indicator moves freely and stops safely, giving you consistent control over your shielding gas coverage for high-quality welds.
