0978-0001 - Victor Brass Regulator Inlet Swivel and Nut Assembly with Filter

Keep Your Regulator Running Smoothly

When you are in the middle of a fabrication project, the last thing you need is a leaking regulator or erratic gas flow. The Victor 0978-0001 Swivel/Nut Assembly is the perfect solution for welders looking to repair or refresh their Victor gas equipment. Over time, threads can become stripped, nuts can get rounded off, and filters can become clogged with dust and debris from gas cylinders. Replacing the entire inlet assembly is a smart, cost-effective way to restore your regulator to like-new performance without buying a whole new unit.

Built Tough for the Shop
Made from solid brass, this assembly is built to withstand the rigors of the welding shop. Brass is the industry standard for gas fittings because it doesn't spark and resists rust, ensuring that your connections stay safe and secure. The assembly comes pre-assembled with the nut and swivel stem, so you don't have to fiddle with small parts—just thread it in and tighten it down.

Protect Your Investment
One of the most overlooked aspects of regulator care is the inlet filter. This assembly includes a built-in filter that sits right in the flow path. It catches dirt, metal shavings, and other contaminants that might be hiding in your gas cylinder valve. By stopping this junk before it hits your regulator's delicate internal seat, you prevent leaks and "creep," keeping your flame steady and your welds clean. It's a small part that makes a big difference in how your torch handles.

Don't compromise on safety or performance by using mismatched parts. This genuine Victor component ensures that your threads match perfectly and your seal is tight. Whether you are running an oxy-fuel cutting torch or a TIG setup, keeping your gas supply clean and leak-free is step one for quality work. Grab a spare 0978-0001 assembly for your toolbox so you are never stuck waiting on parts when you should be burning metal.
