Safety is the number one priority in any welding shop, especially when dealing with high-pressure compressed gases. The ESAB 31Z86 Safety Disc Cap is the small but mighty part that keeps your oxygen or acetylene regulator from turning into a hazard. This brass cap screws into the side or back of your regulator and holds the safety rupture disc in place. If your regulator ever experiences a massive pressure surge, that disc is designed to pop to release the pressure safely. This cap is what makes sure the disc stays where it belongs until that moment comes.
Over time, these caps can get lost during repairs, or the threads can get stripped if they are cross-threaded. Sometimes, they just get beat up in a busy shop environment. If you are rebuilding a Purox or Oxweld regulator, or if you've had a safety disc blow and need to inspect the assembly, you need to make sure this cap is in perfect condition. A damaged cap might not hold the pressure correctly or could prevent the safety device from working when you need it most.
Don't take chances with "making it work" using random bolts or fittings. Gas regulators are precision instruments. This genuine ESAB part is designed to fit perfectly, ensuring your gear meets safety standards and keeps you welding without worry. It’s a simple, affordable fix that protects your expensive equipment and, more importantly, you and your crew.
