OVERVIEW

Clear Vision for Perfect Welds

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to set your gas flow on a regulator that has seen better days. If your flowmeter tube is cracked, clouded, or covered in spatter, you are essentially guessing at your settings. The ESAB 998841 is the genuine replacement outer tube for your L-32 series flowmeter, specifically designed to get you back to welding with confidence. This isn't a generic one-size-fits-all part; it is the exact replacement for the CO2 flowmeter you rely on every day for your MIG and Flux-Cored applications.

Why does the specific gas matter? CO2 is heavier than Argon, and flowmeters are calibrated based on the density of the gas they measure. Using this dedicated CO2 tube means the ball or float is telling you the truth about your Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH). This accuracy helps you avoid porosity caused by low flow and prevents the turbulence and waste that comes from cranking the gas up too high. The tube is made from tough, impact-resistant material that can handle the bumps and knocks of a busy shop environment, and it stays clear so you can check your levels from across the bay.

Installation is quick and painless, meaning less downtime for your machine. Simply depressurize your system, unscrew the housing, and swap out the old damaged tube for this fresh new one. It fits perfectly into the L-32 body, sealing tight to prevent those annoying hissing leaks that waste money. Whether you are repairing a regulator that took a tumble off a cart or just performing routine maintenance to keep your gear in top shape, the ESAB 998841 is the smart choice for professional welders who demand accuracy and durability from their equipment.

FAQ

This is the outer tube for the L-32 flowmeter.

No, this tube is calibrated specifically for CO2. Argon has a different density and requires a tube with an Argon scale for accurate readings.

It is typically made from high-impact polycarbonate or Lexan for durability and clarity.

No, it is designed specifically for the L-32 series. Please check your flowmeter model before purchasing.

If the tube is cracked, leaking, or so clouded/scratched that you cannot read the ball height clearly, it should be replaced immediately.

Generally, no. Most L-32 housings can be unscrewed by hand or with a soft-jaw wrench, but always ensure the system is depressurized first.

If the leak is coming from a crack in the tube, yes. However, if the leak is from the base, you may also need to check the O-rings.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part.
