22349 - ESAB R-6700 Regulator Diaphragm Pressure Plate

Restore Precision to Your R-6700 Regulator

Keep your welding and cutting operations running smoothly with the ESAB 22349 Plate Diaphragm, a genuine replacement part for the legendary R-6700 series regulators. Welders and fabricators know that consistent gas flow is the backbone of a quality cut or weld. If your regulator is surging, creeping, or failing to hold a set pressure, it may be time for an internal rebuild. The diaphragm plate is a key element in the regulator's "brain," helping to translate the tension you set on the knob into steady gas flow at the torch. This specific plate is engineered to fit the R-6700, a workhorse regulator used in some of the most demanding industrial environments.

Why is the diaphragm plate so important? Inside your regulator, the diaphragm flexes back and forth to open and close the valve seat. The plate sits directly on this flexible material, protecting it from the metal spring and ensuring that the movement is uniform. If the original plate is damaged, corroded, or lost during a repair, the regulator simply cannot function correctly. Using the ESAB 22349 ensures that you are maintaining the precise geometry required for the regulator to sense pressure changes accurately. This means less time fiddling with the knob and more time working, with the confidence that your flame or arc is receiving exactly the gas shielding or fuel it needs.

Investing in OEM parts for your equipment extends its service life significantly. The R-6700 is built to last for decades if properly maintained. Instead of replacing the entire regulator unit—which can be a significant expense—replacing worn internal components is a cost-effective solution that brings your gear back to factory specs. This diaphragm plate is made from high-quality materials designed to resist deformation and corrosion, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of daily shop use. It installs directly into the diaphragm assembly, making your rebuild process straightforward and reliable.

Don't compromise on safety or quality when it comes to your gas equipment. Generic parts may look similar but often lack the precise tolerances of the original manufacturer. With the ESAB 22349, you get the peace of mind that comes with using parts from a world leader in welding and cutting technology. Ensure your R-6700 regulator continues to deliver the high-flow performance and reliability you rely on by choosing genuine ESAB repair parts.
