Restore Your Regulator's Precision

Keep your welding and cutting setup running smoothly with the Victor 1408-0033 Friction Washer. This is an authentic Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, designed specifically to breathe new life into your trusted Victor regulators. If you own a VGS-350 Series Gaugeless Regulator or an HSR 2500 Series Regulator, you know the importance of reliable pressure control. This friction washer is the unsung hero inside your regulator's adjustment assembly, ensuring that your pressure settings stay exactly where you put them.

Welding environments are tough. Equipment gets dragged, bumped, and subjected to constant vibration. The friction washer inside your regulator acts as a brake for your adjustment knob, providing that smooth, resistance-filled turn that allows for fine-tuning. When this washer wears out, the knob can feel sloppy or loose, leading to frustration when trying to dial in the perfect flame or flow rate. In severe cases, a worn washer might allow the knob to rotate on its own under vibration, altering your gas flow mid-weld. Replacing this part restores the tactile control and stability you expect from professional-grade Victor equipment.

Don't compromise your safety or weld quality with ill-fitting generic parts. The 1408-0033 is built from materials selected by Victor engineers to withstand the mechanical forces within the regulator bonnet. It fits perfectly into the assembly of the VGS-350 and HSR 2500, ensuring no binding or slippage occurs. Proper maintenance of your gas apparatus is key to safety in the shop; ensuring all internal mechanical parts are in good condition prevents leaks and malfunctions down the line.

Whether you are doing a routine rebuild or fixing a specific issue with a loose adjustment knob, this friction washer is the correct solution. It is an affordable fix that extends the service life of your expensive regulator, saving you the cost of a full replacement. Keep your focus on the arc and your settings secure with genuine Victor replacement parts.
