LW17-O - Smith LW17-O Oxygen Valve Assembly for Airline Torches

Restore Your Torch's Precision with the Smith LW17-O Oxygen Valve

Is your Smith torch handle leaking oxygen or becoming difficult to adjust? Don't compromise on safety or weld quality. The Miller Smith LW17-O Oxygen Valve Assembly is the genuine OEM solution to bring your trusted Smith Airline torch back to life. Designed for the professional welder who demands reliability, this replacement part fixes common issues like stiff knobs, drifting flame settings, and gas leaks at the handle.

The "Airline" series torches, including the popular AW1 and MW5 models, are favorites among welders for their balance and weight. However, even the best tools need maintenance. The oxygen valve is one of the most used moving parts on your torch, subjected to constant adjustment and pressure. When it wears out, you lose the ability to fine-tune your flame, leading to oxidation in your welds or difficulty maintaining a neutral flame. The LW17-O replaces the entire valve mechanism, giving you back that smooth, buttery adjustment you felt when the torch was new.

This assembly isn't just a generic aftermarket part; it is the exact component used in the manufacturing of new Smith torches. It features a high-quality nickel-plated finish that looks great and stands up to the rigors of the shop environment. The plating resists tarnishing and wear, ensuring your torch looks as professional as the work you produce. The included knob is ergonomically knurled for easy gripping, even when wearing welding gloves, and is color-coded green for instant identification as the oxygen control.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with torch maintenance. Simply remove the old, worn-out valve assembly and thread in the new LW17-O. The precision threads and high-quality packing ensure a gas-tight seal immediately. Whether you are working on intricate brazing projects, HVAC repairs, or general oxy-acetylene welding, having precise control over your oxygen flow is the secret to a perfect result. Invest in the longevity of your equipment with this genuine Miller Smith replacement part.
