OVERVIEW

Restore Your R-32 Regulator with Genuine ESAB Parts

Keep your trusty R-32 regulator running at peak performance with the ESAB 29Z17 Valve Spring. If you are noticing that your regulator pressure is creeping up when your torch is off, or if you are having trouble getting a consistent flame, the internal valve spring might be the culprit. Over years of reliable service, springs can lose their tension or succumb to wear and tear. Replacing this small but mighty component can often save you the cost of buying a brand-new regulator, bringing your heavy-duty equipment back to life for a fraction of the price.

The R-32 series regulators are legendary in the welding industry for their toughness and high-flow capabilities. They are the workhorses found in shipyards, steel mills, and serious fabrication shops. To keep them working safely, it is important to use only genuine OEM parts like the 29Z17. This spring is designed by ESAB to fit perfectly inside the regulator body, providing the exact amount of tension needed to close the valve securely. Don't risk your safety or the quality of your cuts with generic knock-offs that might not have the right tension rating.

Installation should be performed by someone familiar with gas equipment repair, as it involves opening the regulator body. Once installed, you will notice an immediate improvement in how the regulator handles pressure adjustments. The knob will feel more responsive, and the delivery pressure will hold steady exactly where you set it. Whether you are cutting thick steel plate or welding critical joints, consistent gas flow starts with a healthy regulator.

  • Perfect Fit: No guessing games; it drops right into your R-32 assembly.
  • Cost-Effective Repair: Extend the life of your expensive equipment.

FAQ

The 29Z17 spring is designed specifically for the Purox / ESAB R-32 series of industrial gas regulators.

Over time, springs can suffer from metal fatigue or corrosion, leading to improper valve seating and dangerous pressure creep. Replacing it ensures the regulator functions safely and accurately.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by ESAB (who acquired Purox/Linde), ensuring exact specifications.

Regulator repair involves high-pressure gas components. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified gas equipment technician to ensure safety.

Common symptoms include 'creeping' pressure (gauge rises when torch is off), difficulty adjusting pressure, or the regulator failing to shut off flow completely.

Generally, the mechanical spring components in the R-32 series are shared, but always verify the specific parts breakdown for your gas service type before installation.

It is manufactured from high-grade industrial spring steel designed to maintain tension and resist fatigue under varying temperatures.

If the leak is caused by the valve not seating due to a weak spring, yes. However, leaks can also be caused by a damaged seat or diaphragm, which should also be inspected.
