0600-0003 - Victor 30 PSI Brass Pressure Relief Valve

Victor 0600-0003: Essential Gas Equipment Safety

Maintain the integrity and safety of your welding gas setup with the Victor 0600-0003 Relief Valve. This precision-engineered brass component is a vital part of many Victor regulator and manifold assemblies, designed to vent excess pressure specifically at 30 PSI. For professional welders and fabricators, ensuring that pressure relief devices are functional and within specification is a key part of equipment maintenance and shop safety protocols.

Technical Specifications and Function

The primary function of the 0600-0003 is to limit the maximum pressure in a downstream line. When line pressure attempts to exceed 30 PSI, the internal spring mechanism compresses, opening the valve seat and allowing gas to escape until the pressure drops back below the set limit. This "pop-off" action protects sensitive diaphragms and gauges in your equipment. The valve features a brass body which provides excellent mechanical strength and resistance to environmental factors found in welding shops and industrial sites.

Maintenance and Replacement

Relief valves are safety-critical items that should be inspected regularly. If a relief valve is leaking, damaged, or has activated due to a regulator failure, it is often recommended to replace the unit to ensure the spring tension and seating surface are factory-perfect. The Victor 0600-0003 is a direct replacement for existing 30 PSI valves on compatible Victor equipment, ensuring that your system remains compliant with safety standards. Do not attempt to adjust or repair sealed relief valves; replacing them with a new, calibrated unit is the safest course of action.

Application Suitability

This valve is typically utilized in low-pressure delivery systems where the working pressure is intended to be well below 30 PSI. It acts as the final barrier against over-pressurization. Its brass construction makes it suitable for use with inert gases and oxygen (ensure oxygen cleanliness standards are met during installation). Always verify the pressure rating of your specific system requirements before installation to ensure 30 PSI is the correct relief point for your application.
