OVERVIEW

Restore Your Torch's Performance

Is your welding flame sputtering, popping, or refusing to set correctly? It might be time to check your mixer. The Victor 16Y71 Mixer Tube is the direct replacement part you need for W-42 welding nozzles. When you're out in the field or deep in a project, you can't afford a torch that acts up. This mixer tube is the component that blends your oxygen and acetylene (or other fuel gas) right before the tip, ensuring you get that perfect blue cone for welding and brazing.

Old mixer tubes can get beat up from heat, soot buildup, or the occasional flashback. When that happens, your flame control goes out the window, making it impossible to lay a good bead or heat metal evenly. Swapping out the old tube for a fresh 16Y71 is a quick fix that brings your torch back to life. Made from durable brass, it stands up to the heat and abuse of daily shop life. It's a small part that makes a huge difference in how your torch handles.

Don't settle for generic knock-offs that might leak or not seat properly. This is a genuine Victor part, meaning it's built to the exact specs of your W-42 nozzle. Keep one in your toolbox or repair kit so you're never stuck with a down torch. Whether you are doing HVAC repair, automotive fabrication, or general maintenance, a clean, functioning mixer tube is the secret to a smooth, consistent flame.
