11X38 - ESAB V-31 Gas Saver Pilot Light Stem Replacement

Keep Your Gas Saver Running with the ESAB 11X38 Stem

Efficiency is the name of the game in production welding, and the V-31 Gas Saver is one of the best tools for keeping costs down and speed up. However, like all mechanical devices, the internal components can wear out over years of service. The ESAB 11X38 Stem, Pilot Light is the essential replacement part you need when your gas saver's pilot light starts acting up. If you find that your pilot flame won't stay lit, is impossible to adjust to the right size, or is leaking gas when the station is idle, the pilot stem is often the culprit.

This brass stem acts as the valve for the pilot light, controlling the small amount of gas needed to keep the ignition flame burning. When the stem is in good condition, you can set the pilot to a tiny, efficient flame that is ready to ignite your torch the moment you pick it up. A damaged stem can lead to gas wastage or, worse, a pilot that constantly blows out, forcing you to stop working and reach for a flint striker every time you need to weld. Replacing the stem is a quick and cost-effective repair that restores the convenience and speed of your V-31 station.

Designed specifically for the V-31 model, this ESAB part guarantees a perfect fit. Don't struggle with generic parts that might strip threads or fail to seal properly. The 11X38 is made to the exact tolerances required for safe gas control. Whether you are running an automotive fabrication shop, a jewelry studio, or a heavy manufacturing line, keeping your gas savers in top condition is vital for workflow. A functioning gas saver not only saves money on oxygen and acetylene bills but also reduces the fire hazard of leaving a full torch flame burning between welds.

Invest in the longevity of your equipment with this genuine replacement part. It is a small component that makes a huge difference in daily operations. Simply unscrew the old, worn-out stem and install the fresh 11X38 to get back to the seamless "lift-and-weld" operation that the V-31 is famous for. Keep a few spares in your maintenance kit to ensure zero downtime for your welding stations.
