1406-0170 - Victor Replacement Retaining Ring 1406-0170

Restore Your Gear with the Victor 1406-0170 Retaining Ring

Keep your Victor torches and regulators working like new with the Victor 1406-0170 Retaining Ring. For professional welders and fabricators, equipment downtime is lost money. When you are rebuilding a torch or fixing a regulator, every small part matters. This retaining ring is a genuine Victor replacement, meaning it is the exact same part that was installed in your equipment when it was first built at the factory. Don't gamble with generic hardware store clips that might snap or slip when you need them most.

Retaining rings are the unsung heroes of your toolset. They hold everything together, ensuring that knobs, valves, and internal mechanisms stay exactly where they are supposed to be. Over time, these rings can lose their spring tension or get damaged during routine cleaning and maintenance. If you are taking your equipment apart for a deep clean or a rebuild, it is always a smart move to have a fresh retaining ring on hand. Reusing an old, bent ring can lead to parts coming loose later, which is a headache you don't need in the middle of a job.

Safety is paramount when working with oxy-fuel. Your equipment handles high-pressure oxygen and fuel gases, and the mechanical integrity of the device is what keeps you safe. Using genuine Victor parts like the 1406-0170 ensures that your repair meets the manufacturer's safety standards. It fits perfectly without forcing, snapping into place securely to provide peace of mind. Whether you are a shop manager stocking up on spares or a welder fixing your own rig, this part is essential for a proper repair.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with equipment repair. Simply remove the old or damaged ring using the appropriate pliers or tools, and snap the new 1406-0170 into its groove. It’s a small investment that protects the expensive components of your cutting outfit. Make sure to check your equipment's parts manual to verify this is the right ring for your specific model, and get back to cutting with confidence.
