OVERVIEW

Secure Your Acetylene Setup with the Victor 0969-0003 CGA 520 Brass Nut

When it comes to oxy-fuel welding and cutting, the integrity of your equipment is paramount. The Victor 0969-0003 Brass Nut is a specialized replacement part designed to keep your acetylene regulators securely connected to your gas cylinders. Specifically engineered for the CGA 520 connection standard, this nut is the perfect fit for "B" size acetylene tanks, which are widely used in HVAC, plumbing, and light fabrication for their portability and convenience. Don't let a stripped or rounded nut compromise your safety or slow down your work; upgrade to a genuine Victor component.

Victor is a name synonymous with quality in the welding industry, and this replacement nut lives up to that reputation. Made from solid, durable brass, it offers superior strength and longevity compared to generic alternatives. The brass construction is not only durable but also essential for safety, as it prevents sparking during connection and disconnection—a vital consideration when handling acetylene. The precision threading ensures a smooth action, allowing you to tighten the connection securely without damaging the valve or the nipple, ensuring a leak-free seal that keeps you welding longer and safer.

Over time, the hex heads on regulator nuts can become rounded off from the use of improper tools, or threads can become damaged from cross-threading. Continuing to use a damaged nut can result in gas leaks, wasted consumables, and potential safety hazards. Keeping a Victor 0969-0003 Brass Nut in your spare parts inventory is a smart move for any welder. It allows for quick field repairs, ensuring that a simple worn part doesn't turn into a day of lost productivity. This nut is compatible with a wide range of Victor regulators and other equipment utilizing the CGA 520 standard.

This CGA 520 nut is a small but mighty part of your setup, providing the secure link between your fuel source and your torch.

FAQ

CGA 520 is the standard connection for Acetylene gas cylinders, specifically the smaller "B" style tanks (often 40 cubic feet). It is distinct from the CGA 510 connection used on larger acetylene and propane cylinders.

This nut is compatible with Victor regulators that are designed for use with Acetylene B-tanks requiring a CGA 520 inlet. It will not fit regulators designed for large acetylene cylinders (CGA 510) or other gas types without appropriate adapters.

The nut is manufactured from high-quality brass. Brass is the standard material for these fittings because it is durable, corrosion-resistant, and non-sparking, which is critical for safety with flammable gases.

Yes, this is just the retaining nut. To make a complete connection to a regulator, you will typically need the corresponding tailpiece or nipple that fits inside this nut and mates with the regulator body.

No, CGA 520 is specifically for Acetylene B-tanks. Propane cylinders typically use a CGA 510 connection. Using the wrong connection can be dangerous and physically impossible due to thread differences.

You should replace the nut if the hex head is rounded off, making it difficult to tighten, or if the threads are stripped or damaged. A compromised nut can lead to gas leaks.

Yes, the SKU 0969-0003 corresponds to a genuine Victor Equipment replacement part, ensuring OEM quality and fitment.
