0708-0017 - Victor Replacement Packing Gland for Cutting Attachments

Restore Your Torch's Performance with the Victor 0708-0017

Every welder knows that a reliable torch is the extension of their hand. When your flame starts drifting, or your oxygen knob feels sloppy, it’s not just an annoyance—it’s a quality issue that can ruin a cut or a weld. The Victor 0708-0017 Gland is the small but mighty part you need to get your Victor cutting attachment back in top shape. Often overlooked, this brass gland (or washer) plays a huge role in how your torch valves feel and function. It sits inside the valve assembly, helping to compress the packing that keeps the gas where it belongs—inside the torch, not leaking out onto your hand.

If you've noticed that your valve knobs are spinning too freely or, worse, you smell a faint whiff of gas near the handle, it might be time for a rebuild. Worn-out glands can prevent the packing nut from tightening down correctly, leading to leaks and safety hazards. By swapping in a fresh 0708-0017, you restore that "like-new" friction to the knob. You want your valves to stay exactly where you set them, even if you bump the torch or move around the workpiece. This genuine Victor part ensures that when you dial in a neutral flame, it stays dialed in, letting you focus on your puddle or your cut line rather than fiddling with your settings.

Safety is the number one priority in any shop, and using genuine parts is the best way to ensure it. Don't risk using a generic washer from the hardware store that might react with the gas or fail under pressure. The 0708-0017 is made specifically for Victor equipment, meaning it handles the heat and the pressure of daily industrial use. It fits perfectly in popular models like the CA2460 cutting attachment, making your repair job quick and frustration-free. Whether you are doing a full tear-down and clean or just fixing a sticky valve, having this part on hand is a smart move for any serious fabricator.

Maintenance is part of the trade. Taking care of your tools means they take care of you. A well-maintained torch is safer, more efficient, and just plain nicer to use. Don't let a ten-cent problem cause a hundred-dollar mistake on a workpiece. Keep your kit stocked with the Victor 0708-0017 Gland and keep your equipment running as smoothly as the day you bought it. It’s a small investment that pays off in safety, precision, and peace of mind every time you spark up.
