OVERVIEW

Don't Let a Cracked Tube Stop Your Arc

We've all been there: you're setting up for a critical weld, you glance at your flowmeter to check your CFH, and you notice a crack in the tube or that it's become so cloudy you can't see the ball. A broken flowmeter isn't just an annoyance; it's a quality risk. If you can't verify your gas flow, you're guessing, and guessing leads to porosity. The ESAB 998877 Tube L32 Flowmeter Inner is the exact replacement part you need to get your L-32 series flowmeter back in action without breaking the bank on a brand-new regulator.

This isn't a generic knock-off; it's a genuine replacement designed to fit your equipment perfectly. Why replace the whole expensive brass assembly when the only thing broken is the plastic tube? This inner tube swaps out easily, restoring your ability to dial in that perfect 20-25 CFH (or whatever your procedure calls for). The material is crystal clear, making it easy to read your flow rate from a distance, and it's built tough to handle the daily grind of the welding shop. Whether you dropped a wrench on your regulator or it just succumbed to old age, this part is the quick fix that keeps production moving.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with regulator maintenance. Simply disassemble the flowmeter housing, remove the old or damaged tube, and seat this new one in place. Once installed, you'll have the confidence that your gas readings are accurate again. Accurate gas flow means better arc starts, cleaner puddles, and less rework. It is a small investment that protects the quality of every bead you lay down.

Keep one of these in your toolbox or shop locker. Flowmeters are often the most vulnerable part of a gas cylinder setup, sticking out where they can get bumped or banged. Having a spare ESAB 998877 inner tube on hand means the difference between a five-minute repair and a halted project while you wait for a delivery truck. Get your gas flow right, keep your welds clean, and keep your gear in top shape with this essential replacement part.

FAQ

This inner tube is designed specifically for the ESAB L-32 series flowmeters.

This is the inner measuring tube where the flow ball floats.

Typically, this part number refers to the tube only. You may need to reuse your existing ball or purchase one separately.

If the tube is cracked, leaking, or has become too cloudy to read the ball position accurately, it should be replaced.

Yes, if you are comfortable performing maintenance on gas equipment. Ensure the cylinder is closed and pressure is bled off before disassembling the flowmeter.

The tube itself is a vessel; the calibration depends on the scale and the gas density, but the physical tube fits the L-32 housing used for various gases.

These tubes are typically made from high-impact polycarbonate or a similar durable composite to resist breakage.

No, O-rings are usually sold separately. It is recommended to inspect and replace O-rings during tube replacement to prevent leaks.
