1408-0102 - Victor Replacement Nozzle Gasket for Cutting Attachments

Keep Your Torch Running Safely

Every welder knows that a cutting torch is only as good as its maintenance. The Victor 1408-0102 Nozzle Gasket is the unsung hero of your oxy-fuel setup, sitting quietly between your cutting tip and the torch head to keep everything sealed up tight. If you have ever experienced a popping sound, a sputtering flame, or a torch that just won't hold a steady preheat, a worn-out nozzle gasket is often the culprit. This small, affordable part plays a massive role in keeping your flame stable and, more importantly, keeping you safe while you work.

When you tighten down a cutting tip, you are compressing this gasket to create a gas-tight barrier. Over time, heat and pressure take their toll. The gasket can get squashed too flat, dry out, or crack. Once that happens, oxygen and fuel gas can sneak past the seal. Best case scenario, you waste gas and get a messy cut. Worst case scenario, you get a leak that leads to a flashback or a fire at the torch head. Swapping out your old gasket for a fresh Victor 1408-0102 is cheap insurance against these problems. It is designed to fit your Victor torch perfectly, so you don't have to fight to get it seated or worry about it blowing out in the middle of a job.

Don't wait until your torch fails to check your consumables. A good rule of thumb is to inspect the gasket every time you change a tip. If it looks chewed up, flattened, or burnt, toss it and put in a new one. Keeping a few of these 1408-0102 gaskets in your toolbox means you are never stuck waiting on parts when you have metal to cut. It is one of the easiest repairs you can do, and it makes a huge difference in how your torch handles.

Using genuine Victor parts means you aren't guessing about quality. This gasket is built to handle the heat of heavy cutting and the rough environment of the shop or field. Whether you are scrapping, fabricating, or doing repair work, a well-sealed torch cuts faster, cleaner, and safer. Don't let a five-dollar part ruin a three-hundred-dollar torch—keep your seals fresh with the Victor 1408-0102.
