0608-0012 - Victor High Pressure Regulator Seat Assembly 0608-0012

Restore Your Regulator's Performance

Is your Victor regulator letting pressure climb on the gauge even when you aren't cutting or welding? That phenomenon is called 'creep,' and it's a sure sign that your internal high-pressure seat is worn out or damaged. Don't throw away a high-quality, heavy-duty regulator just because of a small internal part. The Victor 0608-0012 Seat Assembly is the genuine replacement part you need to get your gear back in top shape. Designed for the rugged SR 450 and SR 460 series regulators, this seat is the heart of your pressure control system.

Regulators live a hard life in welding shops and on job sites. Every time you crack open a cylinder valve, the high-pressure seat takes a hammer-blow of pressure. Over time, debris, metal shavings, or just simple mechanical wear can create small imperfections in the seat surface. Once that seal is compromised, gas leaks through internally, causing your delivery pressure to spike. This isn't just annoying; it's dangerous and can blow out your diaphragms or hoses. Swapping out the old seat for a fresh 0608-0012 assembly is the standard fix for these symptoms.

Using genuine Victor parts ensures that the repair lasts. This isn't a cheap knock-off that will fail in a week; it's the same component that was installed in the factory when your regulator was brand new. It fits perfectly, seals tightly, and handles the high cylinder pressures you deal with daily. Whether you are running oxygen, acetylene, or mixed gases, ensuring your regulator shuts off completely is vital for shop safety. Keep a spare 0608-0012 in your toolbox so you aren't left stranded with a creeping regulator in the middle of a critical project.

Note on Safety: Repairing gas regulators, especially those used for oxygen, requires absolute cleanliness. Oil, grease, or dirt on a high-pressure seat can cause a fire or explosion. If you aren't trained in regulator repair, please consult a professional repair technician.
