0968-0005 - Victor Brass Swivel Fitting with Filter 1/4 NPT

Enhance Your Setup with the Victor 0968-0005 Brass Swivel

Every welder knows the frustration of fighting with a stiff or twisted hose while trying to lay down a perfect bead. The Victor 0968-0005 Brass Swivel is the unsung hero your gas rig needs. Designed to sit between your regulator or manifold and your hose connection, this handy device allows your hose to rotate freely. This means no more kinks, no more tangles, and significantly less strain on your wrist as you maneuver around your workpiece. By alleviating the tension in the line, you not only make your work day more comfortable but also extend the life of your expensive welding hoses by preventing the cracking and wear caused by constant twisting.

But this isn't just a swivel; it's also a guardian for your gear. Hidden inside the durable brass body is a built-in filter designed to catch debris before it enters your system. Gas cylinders and shop environments can introduce tiny particles into your lines that, over time, clog up your torch valves or damage the delicate diaphragm in your regulator. The Victor 0968-0005 acts as a first line of defense, trapping these contaminants and ensuring that only clean gas reaches your torch. This results in a smoother, more consistent flame or arc and less downtime spent cleaning out clogged tips.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the standard 1/4 NPT threads, making it compatible with most standard regulators and gas fittings used in the industry. The solid brass construction gives it that heavy-duty feel you expect from a brand like Victor, ensuring it can withstand the bumps and knocks of daily shop use. Whether you are setting up a new oxy-fuel station or upgrading your MIG/TIG gas supply, adding this swivel with a filter is a small investment that pays off in better handling, increased safety, and longer equipment life. Don't let a twisted hose ruin your weld—equip your rig with the Victor 0968-0005.
