There is nothing more frustrating than a sticky torch valve or, worse, a gas leak right at the handle when you are trying to set a flame. The Purox 10K18 Packing Washer is the fix you need to get your equipment back in top shape. These washers are the small white seals that sit inside your valve assembly, hugging the stem to keep the gas where it belongs. Over time, the original packing can wear down, compress, or get damaged, leading to stiff knobs that are hard to adjust precisely or dangerous leaks that waste gas and pose a safety risk.
Made from durable Teflon, these washers are built to withstand the heat and abuse of the welding shop. Teflon is slick, which means once you install these, your torch valves will turn smoothly again, giving you that fine control over your oxygen and fuel mixture that is critical for a clean cut or a good weld. Because they are genuine Purox parts from ESAB, you don't have to worry about them being the wrong size or thickness—they are made to fit your gear perfectly.
This package comes with five washers, which is perfect for the toolbox. You can rebuild multiple valves or keep a few spares for the next time a torch starts acting up. Don't let a fifty-cent seal ruin a hundred-dollar job. Swapping out your packing washers is a quick and easy maintenance task that extends the life of your torch and keeps you safe. Whether you are running a busy fabrication shop or just maintaining your personal rig, keeping a pack of 10K18 washers on hand is smart insurance against downtime.
