OVERVIEW

Restore Your ESAB Regulator Performance

Don't let a worn-out regulator compromise your weld quality or shop safety. The ESAB 998168 Valve Seat Teflon is the exact OEM replacement part you need to fix leaking or creeping regulators. When a regulator's internal seat becomes damaged or worn, it fails to shut off gas flow completely, leading to dangerous pressure buildup and inconsistent delivery. This replacement seat is engineered specifically for ESAB regulators, ensuring you get the factory-fresh performance you expect from your equipment.

Constructed from durable Teflon, this valve seat is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. Teflon's unique properties allow it to maintain a positive seal even under high-pressure conditions, making it ideal for both heavy-duty cutting and precision welding tasks. Replacing the valve seat is often all that is needed to salvage a malfunctioning regulator, saving you the cost of purchasing a completely new unit. It is a cost-effective solution for maintenance departments and professional welders alike.

At Welders Supply, we understand that downtime costs money. That's why we stock genuine repair parts like the ESAB 998168. Whether you are repairing a single station or maintaining a fleet of gas equipment, using authentic ESAB parts ensures reliability and safety. This valve seat drops directly into place, restoring the tight seal necessary for accurate flowmeter readings and stable arc characteristics.

FAQ

The valve seat creates a seal against the nozzle to control the flow of gas. It opens and closes to maintain the set delivery pressure.

Teflon (PTFE) is used for its low friction, high chemical resistance, and ability to form a tight seal without degrading in the presence of industrial gases.

Symptoms include 'creeping' pressure on the low-pressure gauge when the torch is off, or gas leaking internally through the regulator.

Yes, the ESAB 998168 is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by ESAB.

No, this part is designed specifically for compatible ESAB regulators. Check your equipment manual for part number verification.

Typically, repair parts do not come with instructions. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with gas equipment repair.

Teflon is generally compatible with oxygen service, but all repairs on oxygen equipment must be done with extreme care to ensure cleanliness and safety.

Standard regulator repair tools are usually required, including wrenches and possibly a vise, depending on the specific regulator model.
