OVERVIEW

Stop the Creep and Fix Your Regulator

There is nothing more frustrating than a regulator that won't hold steady pressure. You set it to 20 PSI, pull the trigger, and watch the needle drop, or worse—you stop welding and watch the needle slowly climb into the red zone. This phenomenon, known as "creep," is often caused by a worn-out or stiff diaphragm that can no longer seal properly. The ESAB 999861 Low Temperature Diaphragm is the solution for welders working in the cold or with gases like CO2 that tend to freeze up standard equipment. Don't replace the whole regulator when a simple part swap can make it run like new.

Cold weather is the enemy of rubber. If you are welding outside in the winter or running high-flow shielding gas, your regulator's internal rubber parts can turn into hard plastic. When that happens, the diaphragm can't flex to open and close the valve seat effectively, leading to erratic arcs and wasted gas. This "Low Temp" diaphragm is built specifically to stay soft and pliable when the temperature drops. This means you get instant gas flow when you strike an arc and a tight, leak-free seal when you stop, regardless of the weather.

Safety is paramount when dealing with high-pressure cylinders. A compromised diaphragm isn't just an annoyance; it's a hazard that can lead to dangerous pressure buildup in your hoses. Swapping out your old, cracked diaphragm with this genuine ESAB replacement is a quick and cost-effective maintenance task that protects your equipment and your shop. Keep a spare in your toolbox so you never get shut down by a blown regulator in the middle of a job. Trust genuine ESAB parts to keep your flame steady and your welds clean.

FAQ

The diaphragm acts as the sensing element in a gas regulator, flexing to open or close the valve seat to maintain a set outlet pressure.

It is manufactured from a special elastomer compound that remains flexible at lower temperatures, preventing the stiffness that causes pressure issues in cold environments.

Common signs include 'pressure creep' (outlet pressure rising when flow stops), audible humming or vibration during use, or external leaks around the regulator bonnet.

No, diaphragms are specific to the regulator design. This part is designed for specific ESAB, Victor, or associated brand regulators. Always check your parts manual.

Regulator repair should only be performed by qualified personnel. Improper assembly can lead to dangerous gas leaks or high-pressure failures.

This SKU typically includes the diaphragm only. Gaskets or slip rings are usually sold separately unless part of a larger repair kit.

Diaphragms fail due to normal aging (drying out), excessive pressure spikes, chemical attack from impurities, or extreme temperature cycling.

If the leak is caused by a ruptured diaphragm or a diaphragm that has lost flexibility, yes. However, leaks can also be caused by a damaged seat or stem.
