OVERVIEW

Maintain Your R-83 Regulator with Genuine Parts

Keep your welding operations running smoothly with the ESAB 78Z65 Valve Guide Bushing, a dedicated replacement part for the R-83 regulator series. The R-83 is known in the industry as a workhorse, capable of handling heavy-duty applications in scrap yards, fabrication shops, and construction sites. However, even the toughest equipment requires maintenance. The valve guide bushing is an internal component that stabilizes the valve assembly, ensuring consistent gas flow and pressure regulation.

Symptoms of a worn valve guide bushing often include fluctuating delivery pressure, humming noises during operation, or difficulty in setting a stable pressure. If you are noticing these issues, a rebuild might be in order. The 78Z65 is the authentic replacement part, ensuring that your rebuild meets factory standards. Installing this bushing helps eliminate "chatter" and ensures the seat closes squarely against the nozzle, which is essential for preventing leaks and maintaining set pressures.

Professional welders and equipment repair specialists trust ESAB parts for their reliability. This bushing is machined from high-quality materials designed to withstand the internal stresses of gas regulation. Don't compromise your safety or weld quality with inferior parts; choose the ESAB 78Z65 to keep your R-83 regulator performing like new for years to come.

Why Choose OEM?

  • Exact Fit: No modifications required; drops directly into the R-83 assembly.
  • Reliable Performance: Restores the smooth action of the adjusting mechanism.
  • Investment Protection: Proper maintenance with correct parts protects your investment in high-end gas equipment.
