OVERVIEW

Premium Replacement Flints for Welding Strikers

Keep your welding operations running smoothly with the ESAB 790F36 Flint Renewal. Nothing is more frustrating than a striker that won't spark when you are ready to work. These replacement flints are the industry standard for restoring the spark to your single-flint cup lighters. Manufactured by ESAB, a global leader in welding and cutting equipment, these flints are formulated to generate a high-temperature spark that instantly ignites fuel gases such as acetylene, propane, and propylene.

Designed for Professional Durability

The 790F36 flints are made from a specialized ferrocerium alloy that balances hardness with spark production. This ensures that the flint does not wear down prematurely while still providing enough friction to create a substantial spark. This balance is crucial for professionals who light their torches dozens of times a day. The renewals typically come in a convenient holder or dispenser (depending on the specific pack configuration), making it easy to store them in a toolbox or pocket without losing the small individual units.

Essential Maintenance for Torch Lighters

Regular maintenance of your welding accessories extends their lifespan and improves efficiency. Replacing the flint in your striker is a simple maintenance task that yields immediate results. If your striker is slipping or failing to produce a spark, a fresh ESAB 790F36 flint is usually the solution. These flints are precision-cut to ensure they sit correctly in the striker's spring mechanism, providing consistent pressure against the file for a reliable strike every time.

Why Choose ESAB Flints?

  • Consistency: Uniform composition ensures every strike produces a spark.
  • Fit: Sized perfectly for standard single-flint cup lighters.
  • Safety: Promotes the use of safe mechanical lighters over dangerous open-flame alternatives.
  • Value: A cost-effective solution to extend the life of your existing striker tools.

Whether you are a hobbyist or a seasoned pipe welder, having a supply of ESAB 790F36 Flint Renewals ensures you are never left without a light. Invest in genuine ESAB parts to guarantee compatibility and performance for all your oxy-fuel cutting and welding needs.

FAQ

These flints are designed primarily for standard single-flint cup lighters (bowl strikers). They are typically not compatible with triple-flint strikers, which use a triangular flint cartridge.

The quantity can vary based on the specific packaging (e.g., carded, bulk, or holder). Typically, a 'renewal' holder contains 5 flints, but please refer to the specific product quantity listed at purchase.

Flint strikers are safer because they do not have a reservoir of flammable gas that can explode. They also keep your hand at a safer distance and produce a directed spark rather than an open flame.

No, they are made of ferrocerium, a synthetic pyrophoric alloy that produces hot sparks when oxidized by friction against a rough surface.

Unscrew the head or the spring housing of your striker, remove the old flint remnant, insert the new ESAB flint, and reassemble. Ensure the spring provides tension against the file.

While the material is similar, the size of welding flints is specific to welding strikers. They may not fit the mechanisms of camping lanterns or standard cigarette lighters.

Ferrocerium flints can degrade (oxidize and turn to powder) over very long periods if exposed to high humidity, but generally, they last for years if kept dry.

Yes, the ESAB 790F36 is a genuine ESAB/Victor product, ensuring high quality and proper fitment for your tools.
