Professional welders and fabricators know that the ST-23A cutting torch is a workhorse of the industry, but even the toughest tools require maintenance. The ESAB 996055 Adjustment Screw Assembly is the definitive repair part for addressing issues with gas control valves on this specific torch model. When you turn the knob on your torch, you expect an immediate and proportional response in the flame profile. If your current adjustment screw feels gritty, loose, or fails to hold a setting, it is time to swap it out for this factory-original replacement.
This assembly is not just a screw; it is a precision-engineered valve control unit. It includes the threaded stem, the seating surface, and the necessary retention elements to ensure it stays effectively coupled to the torch body. Using aftermarket or ill-fitting parts in an oxy-fuel system can lead to dangerous flashbacks or internal leaks. The ESAB 996055 is machined to tight tolerances to match the internal geometry of the ST-23A valve body perfectly. This guarantees that when you close the valve, the gas flow stops completely, and when you open it, the flow increases smoothly without surging.
Regular maintenance of your cutting equipment is essential for shop safety and cut quality. A drifting flame setting caused by a worn screw can ruin a workpiece by overheating the metal or causing a loss of preheat during a cut. By keeping a spare 996055 Adjustment Screw Assembly in your maintenance kit, you ensure that downtime is minimized. You can quickly repair a faulty valve right at the bench and get back to cutting in minutes. Invest in the longevity of your equipment with parts that are built to last.
