2116365 - 50 Micron Sintered Bronze Filter Element 2 Inch

Protect Your Gear with Reliable Filtration

Dirty gas is the silent killer of welding and cutting equipment. The ESAB 2116365 Bronze Filter Element is your first line of defense against the dirt, rust, and metal shavings that often inhabit gas cylinders and supply lines. This 2-inch filter is designed to fit specific gas equipment housings, acting as a shield for your expensive regulators and torches. By filtering out particles as small as 50 microns, it ensures that the gas reaching your puddle or flame is clean, which contributes to a more stable arc and a cleaner cut.

Made from sintered bronze, this filter is tough. It isn't a flimsy mesh that will tear under pressure; it's a solid, porous metal structure that stands up to the rigors of the shop environment. Why does this matter to a welder? Because a clogged or damaged regulator seat can cause dangerous pressure spikes or inconsistent gas coverage, leading to porosity in your welds or a wandering flame in your cuts. Installing a fresh filter element is a simple, low-cost maintenance step that protects your investment in high-end gas apparatus. The 50-micron rating strikes the perfect balance, catching the harmful junk while letting the gas flow freely so you don't starve your torch.

When you are troubleshooting gas flow issues, the filter is often the culprit. Over time, these elements do their job by trapping debris, and eventually, they need to be swapped out to restore full performance. This replacement part is designed for easy installation, getting you back to work quickly. Whether you are running a heavy-duty cutting rig or a precision TIG setup that utilizes this specific filter size, keeping a spare ESAB bronze element on hand ensures you aren't shut down by a simple flow restriction. Trust in the durability of bronze to keep your gas clean and your welds sound.
