LW14-F - Smith LW14-F Replacement Fuel Valve Assembly Nickel Plated

Get Your Torch Flame Back Under Control

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to set a neutral flame with a sticky or leaking valve. If your torch handle's fuel knob is spinning loosely, hard to turn, or letting gas escape, it’s time to swap it out. The Miller Smith LW14-F Valve Assembly is the genuine replacement part you need to get your rig running like new again. Don't struggle with inconsistent flames or waste gas—pop in a new valve and get back to laying down perfect beads or making clean cuts.

Why Nickel Plated?

You'll notice this valve assembly has a shiny nickel finish. That's not just for looks. In the world of Smith torches, the nickel plating often helps identify the specific part and adds a layer of protection against the grime and spatter of the shop. It resists corrosion better than bare brass, meaning this valve is built to last even if your gear takes a beating. The smooth finish also helps the knob turn easily, giving you that fine-tune control you need when dialing in your fuel-to-oxygen ratio.

Easy Fix for a Common Problem

Over time, the O-rings and seats in your torch valves wear out. It happens to every welder. Instead of buying a whole new torch handle, you can simply replace the valve assembly. The LW14-F is designed to drop right into compatible Smith handles. It comes with the stem, knob, and seals all put together. You just unscrew the old, worn-out valve and thread this one in. It’s a five-minute repair that makes a world of difference in how your torch handles.

Safety First

A leaking fuel valve isn't just annoying; it's a hazard. If you smell gas near the handle or can't get the flame to shut off completely, replace the valve immediately. Using genuine Miller/Smith parts like the LW14-F ensures the threads fit tight and the seal holds. Keep your hands safe and your shop secure by keeping your oxy-fuel gear in top shape. This part is specifically for the fuel side (red hose side), so make sure you are swapping the correct valve.
