OVERVIEW

Restore Your Victor Acetylene Regulator with the 0790-0165 Kit

Don't let a leaking or creeping regulator slow down your fabrication projects. The Victor 0790-0165 (RK-ESS3-F) Repair Kit is the genuine solution for refreshing your trusted Victor ESS3 or G250 acetylene regulator. Whether you are a professional welder in a heavy-duty shop or a serious metalworker in a garage, you know that the key to a stable flame is a healthy regulator. Over time, the internal rubber and brass parts of your regulator can wear out, leading to fluctuating pressures or unsafe leaks. This kit gives you everything you need to fix it right the first time.

Why buy a brand new regulator when you can rebuild your high-quality Victor unit for a fraction of the price? This kit is designed specifically for the popular Edge Series (ESS3) and G-Series (G250) models. It contains authentic Victor replacement parts, ensuring that every O-ring, seat, and seal fits perfectly and handles the unique properties of acetylene gas safely. Using non-OEM parts in gas equipment can be risky; stick with the brand that built your gear to ensure safety and performance.

Signs you might need this kit:

  • Your delivery pressure gauge rises when the torch valves are closed (creep).
  • You hear hissing sounds coming from the regulator body.
  • You struggle to maintain a neutral flame during cutting or welding.
  • The adjustment knob feels gritty or unresponsive.

This rebuild kit breathes new life into your equipment. It includes the critical wear items that typically fail after years of service. By swapping out the old seat and seals, you return your regulator to 'like-new' performance, giving you that smooth, consistent gas flow you rely on for clean cuts and strong welds. Keep your oxy-fuel setup running safely and efficiently with genuine Victor parts.
