0720-0043 - Victor Regulator Housing Cap for SR/VTS 450/700 Series

Restore Your Victor Regulator with the 0720-0043 Housing Cap

If you are running a busy fab shop or working out in the field, your Victor regulators are your lifeline. They take a beating—getting tossed in truck beds, dragged around the shop floor, and knocked against cylinders. The Victor SR 450 and VTS 450 series are legendary for their toughness, but even the best gear needs a tune-up eventually. One of the most common parts to suffer damage is the housing cap. Whether the threads have been stripped from over-tightening or the cap took a hard hit and cracked, the Victor 0720-0043 Housing Cap is the exact part you need to get your rig back in action.

This isn't some cheap knock-off that "might" fit. This is the genuine article from Victor. It is designed to screw perfectly onto the body of SR 450, VTS 450, SR 700, and VTS 700 series regulators. These are the big, heavy-duty regulators used for high-flow cutting and heating. The housing cap holds the main spring in place, which is what determines your outlet pressure. If that cap is compromised, you can't set your pressure accurately, and worse, it becomes a major safety hazard. A cracked cap under pressure is a recipe for disaster. Swapping it out is a smart, cost-effective way to extend the life of your expensive equipment without having to buy a brand-new regulator.

When you are rebuilding a regulator, fitment is everything. You want the threads to glide on smoothly and lock down tight. Because this is an OEM part, you don't have to worry about fighting with the threads or wondering if it's going to hold. It’s built to handle the tension of the heavy-duty springs found in the 450 and 700 series. It restores the look and function of your regulator, making it look like it just came out of the box.

Don't let a damaged cap sideline your cutting torch or heating setup. Keep a spare 0720-0043 in your toolbox or parts bin. It’s a small investment that protects your gear and keeps you welding, cutting, and brazing safely. Remember, when it comes to gas equipment, never cut corners—stick with genuine Victor parts for peace of mind and professional performance.
