996058 - Victor ST-23A Replacement Valve Spindle Assembly

Stop Leaks and Fix Stiff Knobs on Your Victor Torch

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to set a perfect neutral flame on a cutting torch that has a mind of its own. If your Victor ST-23A torch is leaking gas, won't shut off completely, or if the knobs are so hard to turn that you need pliers to adjust them, it's time for a tune-up. The ESAB 996058 Spindle Assembly is the direct replacement part you need to get your torch working like new again. Don't struggle with a drifting flame or waste expensive oxygen and fuel gas—swapping out the worn spindle is a quick, affordable fix that solves the problem at the source.

This isn't a generic knock-off; it's the genuine Victor (ESAB) part, meaning it fits your ST-23A perfectly without forcing or cross-threading. The assembly comes ready to install, replacing the old, worn-out stem and the dried-out packing that causes leaks. When your valve spindle is bent or worn, no amount of tightening will seal it properly, and you risk damaging the torch body permanently if you crank it down too hard. By installing this fresh spindle assembly, you restore that smooth, buttery resistance in the knob that allows for precise, one-handed adjustments while you're under the hood or wearing heavy gloves.

Getting your torch back in fighting shape doesn't require sending it out for an expensive overhaul. With this spindle assembly, you can perform the repair right at your workbench. Simply remove the old assembly, check the torch body for debris, and thread this new one in. You'll immediately notice the difference in how the flame responds to your adjustments. Whether you are cutting scrap, working structural steel, or doing demolition, a reliable torch is your best friend. Keep your ST-23A running safely and efficiently with this essential replacement part.
