OVERVIEW

Clear View, Better Welds

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to dial in your gas flow on a regulator with a smashed or foggy face. You end up squinting, tapping the glass, or guessing your CFM, which can lead to porosity in your welds or wasted gas. The ESAB 18859 Replacement Gauge Crystal is the quick, easy fix that gets your gear back in top shape. Designed for standard 2-1/4 inch gauges, this replacement lens is a must-have for any welder who takes care of their equipment.

Accidents happen in the shop. A regulator gets knocked over, a tool falls, or spatter pits the face of your gauge. Instead of buying a brand-new regulator for hundreds of dollars, you can simply swap out the damaged face with this durable replacement. The "Turn" style means it features a threaded edge, allowing you to simply unscrew the old, broken ring (if applicable) or screw this new lens directly into the housing. It’s a tool-free or low-tool repair that takes seconds but makes a world of difference in your daily setup.

Made from tough, shatter-resistant plastic, this crystal stands up to the rigors of the garage or job site better than glass. It stays clear and resists yellowing, giving you a crisp view of your tank pressure and line pressure. Whether you are running a Victor oxy-fuel rig or a heavy-duty MIG regulator, keeping your gauges readable is key to safety and quality. Don't let a cracked lens slow you down or compromise your safety—keep a spare ESAB 18859 crystal in your toolbox and keep your focus on the arc, not the equipment.

  • Easy Installation: Threaded design allows for quick swapping of damaged lenses.
  • Save Money: Repair your regulator instead of replacing it.
  • Stay Safe: Ensure you can always read your cylinder pressure accurately.
  • Durable: Polycarbonate material resists impact and scratching.
