OVERVIEW

Clear View, Better Welds

We've all been there—you're setting up for a critical TIG job or a long MIG run, and you glance at your flowmeter only to find the tube is cracked, clouded, or completely broken. You can't guess your gas flow; too little and you get porosity, too much and you're wasting money and causing turbulence. The Victor 1002-0003 Thorpe Tube Cup is the exact replacement part you need to get your Victor flowmeter back in action. Don't settle for a sketchy universal part that might leak or not fit right; stick with genuine Victor parts to keep your rig running smooth.

This cup is designed to replace the clear housing on your flowmeter, giving you back that crystal-clear view of the floating ball. Whether you dropped your regulator (it happens to the best of us) or it's just seen too many years of shop abuse, swapping out the cup is a quick fix that saves you from buying a whole new regulator assembly. It installs easily, restoring the seal and the safety of your gas setup.

Keeping your gear in top shape is part of the trade. A clear, readable flowmeter means you can dial in your CFH exactly where it needs to be for the material thickness and cup size you are running. This replacement cup is built tough to handle the shop environment, resisting cracks and staying clear longer. Keep one in your spare parts drawer so a tipped cylinder cart or a stray wrench doesn't shut down your welding for the day.

FAQ

The Thorpe Tube Cup serves as the transparent housing for the flowmeter's float, allowing the operator to visually verify and measure the flow rate of the shielding gas.

Yes, the 1002-0003 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part from Victor.

Common reasons for replacement include physical damage such as cracks from impact, or clouding of the material over time which makes reading the flow rate difficult.

No, this part is designed specifically for compatible Victor flowmeter models. It is not a universal fit for all brands.

Typically, the 1002-0003 refers to the cup/tube component itself. You may need to reuse your existing float or purchase one separately if it is lost.

Ensure the gas supply is off and pressure is bled. Unscrew the retaining mechanism of the old cup, remove any debris, and carefully install the new cup, ensuring any O-rings are properly seated to prevent leaks.

It is typically manufactured from a high-impact, transparent polycarbonate or similar durable material designed to withstand gas pressure and shop environments.

If the leak is coming from a crack in the tube or a bad seal at the cup base, yes. However, if the leak is internal to the regulator body, this part may not solve the issue.
