OVERVIEW

Keep Your Regulator Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than setting up for a cut or a weld only to find your regulator is creeping or leaking. If your gauge needle keeps climbing after you close the torch valve, or if you hear that tell-tale hiss coming from the regulator bonnet, chances are your diaphragm is shot. The ESAB 130Z55 Diaphragm is the direct fix for your R-8952 regulator, getting you back to work safely and quickly. Don't toss a good regulator just because a rubber part wore out—rebuild it with genuine parts and save your budget for more metal.

This pack contains five replacement diaphragms, which is perfect for shops running multiple stations or for the mobile welder who wants to keep a backup in the truck. The diaphragm is the most hardworking part of your regulator; it flexes every time you open the valve or pull the trigger. Eventually, they all wear out. Installing a fresh 130Z55 restores that crisp, steady flow you need for a stable arc or a clean cut. It eliminates the fluctuations that cause erratic flame behavior or porosity in your welds.

Swapping out a diaphragm is a straightforward repair for those familiar with regulator maintenance. Using genuine ESAB parts means you don't have to fight with fitment issues. These diaphragms drop right into the R-8952 housing and seal up tight. When you are dealing with high-pressure gas, you don't want to gamble with 'will-fit' parts. You want the component that was designed by the manufacturer to handle the pressure safely.

Invest in the longevity of your equipment. A well-maintained regulator can last for decades. By keeping this 5-pack of ESAB 130Z55 diaphragms in your toolbox, you ensure that a simple wear-and-tear issue doesn't turn into a work stoppage. Keep your pressure constant, your flames neutral, and your welds clean with the right parts for the job.

FAQ

The diaphragm acts as the pressure sensing element in the regulator, balancing the spring force to maintain a constant outlet pressure.

This diaphragm is specifically designed for the R-8952 series regulators.

This product is sold as a pack of 5 diaphragms.

Common signs include pressure creep (outlet pressure rising when flow stops), audible leaks from the regulator body, or erratic flow rates.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring proper fit and safety compliance.

No, it is engineered specifically for the internal dimensions and mechanics of the ESAB/Purox R-8952 and should not be used in other devices.
