OVERVIEW

Maintain Accurate Gas Flow Readings

Ensure your welding operations run smoothly with the ESAB 996854 Float (.250). This replacement float is an essential spare part for welders and fabricators who rely on precise shielding gas management. The float sits inside the flowmeter tube and rises with the gas pressure, hovering at the mark that indicates the current flow rate. Accuracy here is paramount; even a slight deviation in the float's weight or diameter can throw off readings significantly.

This genuine ESAB part is designed to replace lost or damaged floats in specific regulator/flowmeter assemblies. It features a precise 0.250-inch diameter, ensuring it moves freely without jamming while providing a tight enough seal against the tube walls to lift accurately with the gas flow. It is compatible with select Victor and ESAB flowmeters commonly used in MIG and TIG welding applications.

Don't let a missing small part halt your production or compromise your weld integrity. Keep your equipment calibrated and functional with this high-quality replacement component. Proper gas flow is the first line of defense against weld defects, and this float is the key to verifying that flow.

Application

Primarily used in the maintenance and repair of gas regulators and flowmeters found on welding cylinders and distribution systems.

FAQ

The float has a diameter of 0.250 inches.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, number 996854.

It sits inside the flowmeter tube and rises to indicate the current flow rate of the shielding gas.

No, flowmeters are calibrated to specific float weights and diameters. This is designed for units requiring a .250" float.

It is typically made of stainless steel or a specific alloy designed for corrosion resistance and precise weight.

Installation usually involves removing the top of the flow tube or the tube housing. Consult your regulator's manual for specific disassembly instructions.

Using the wrong size or weight will result in incorrect flow readings, leading to potential weld defects or wasted gas.

No, this SKU is for the replacement float ball only.
