One of my projects fell over and smacked my torch. It bent the stem on my oxy valve. Does anyone know where I can buy one on the web? Is there a good source for grommets too? Thanks - Greg

"Grommets"? Do you mean the valve packing ring?
It might be beneficial to know the make and model of the handset.
If it's a well-supported national brand, and not a Chinalloy knockoff, then any welding gas supply outfit should have or be able to get service parts.

I have a Victor 315 and I was refering to the rubber grommets between the mixer and the handle - Thanks

O-rings, and anybody in the business should carry the parts. It might even be possible to carefully straighten the O2 valve.

Thanks LLoyd. I was hoping to get them over the internet as it's much more convenient for me. I searched some of the on line welding supply site and could find O-rings but not replacement valves. I will try the welding shop on my next trip. unfortunately I work hours that start before the shops open and get home after they close.

A lot of the bricks-n-mortar gas businesses have web presences, also.
like:

Or Air Liquide's sites.

You also might give the local supplier a call and see if they run a truck route. We have a supply truck that comes by once a week, and a field rep that stops in a couple of times a month. If I need something that's not normally on the truck, I can call a day before the truck comes on his regular route and get it put on the truck.

Minneapolis Oxygen doesn't operate a web retail business per se, but if you called them I'll bet they'd take care of your needs. The counter guys are knowledgable and helpful.

Call the Minneapolis store, that's the HQ. They're open on Saturday mornings too.
