OVERVIEW

Get the Perfect Flame Every Time

If your torch is sputtering, popping, or just not giving you that crisp, defined inner cone you need for a good weld, it might be time to check your mixer. The ESAB Acetylene Mixer (19048) is the unsung hero of your oxy-acetylene rig. It sits right between your handle and your tip, doing the heavy lifting of combining your oxygen and fuel gas into a perfect blend. When your mixer is working right, your flame is steady, quiet, and hot. When it's not, you're fighting the equipment instead of laying down beads. This replacement mixer is designed to get your torch back to peak performance instantly.

Built tough for the shop environment, this mixer is made from solid brass. It can take the heat of long heating jobs and the knocks and bumps of daily shop life. We know that safety is your number one priority, and a worn-out mixer can be a flashback waiting to happen. The ESAB 19048 features a spiral mixing design that helps prevent those dangerous flashbacks by keeping the gas velocity up and the mixture smooth. It seals up tight against your torch handle with durable O-rings, so you don't have to worry about wasting gas or dealing with leaks near your hand.

Installation is a breeze—just unscrew your old mixer assembly, check your handle's seating surface, and screw this one in hand-tight. It fits standard torch handles compatible with ESAB and Victor-style equipment. Whether you are bending steel, brazing copper lines, or welding thin sheet metal, having a fresh mixer ensures you have the control you need. Don't let a clogged or damaged mixer ruin your work; swap it out with the ESAB 19048 and get back to burning with confidence.

FAQ

The mixer blends oxygen and acetylene gases in precise proportions before they reach the welding tip, ensuring a stable and neutral flame for welding or heating.

No, this specific mixer is designed and calibrated for Acetylene gas. Using it with alternate fuels like Propane may result in an unstable flame or overheating due to different flow requirements.

Signs of a bad mixer include a fluctuating flame, frequent popping or backfiring, gas leaks around the connection nut, or visible damage to the O-rings and seating surfaces.

Yes, ESAB (who owns Victor) typically manufactures these mixers to be compatible with standard Victor-style torch handles. Always verify your specific handle model series before purchasing.

Yes, the mixer assembly typically includes the necessary O-rings pre-installed on the seating end to ensure a leak-proof seal with the torch handle.

The mixer is constructed from high-quality brass, which offers excellent durability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance suitable for oxy-fuel environments.

It is generally recommended to replace mixers rather than clean them to ensure safety. However, if cleaning is attempted, use only approved tip cleaners or solvents designed for oxygen equipment. Never use oil or grease.

A damaged mixer can lead to internal gas leakage, mixed gas in the handle, or flashback, where the flame burns back into the torch, potentially causing catastrophic equipment failure or injury.
