The ESAB C-66-CX Reseat Tool (5230148) is a specialized service instrument designed for the professional maintenance and repair of Purox C-66 series gas regulators. In the lifecycle of oxy-fuel equipment, the internal metal seat of a regulator can become scored, pitted, or damaged due to debris, overtightening, or general wear. When this surface is compromised, the soft seat cannot form a perfect seal, leading to dangerous gas creep or leaks. This reseat tool allows technicians to resurface the metal seat within the regulator body, restoring it to a smooth, factory-like finish that ensures a tight and safe seal.
Engineered with precision cutting edges, the C-66-CX tool removes a minimal amount of material while correcting surface irregularities. This process is critical for shops that perform their own gas apparatus repair or for certified repair centers looking to extend the service life of their fleet. By utilizing this tool, you can salvage regulator bodies that might otherwise be discarded, providing a cost-effective solution to equipment maintenance. The tool is constructed from high-grade hardened steel to maintain its cutting edge over repeated uses.
This tool is specifically calibrated for the geometry of the C-66 regulator design. It ensures that the reseated surface remains perpendicular to the valve stem travel, which is vital for proper operation. Improper seating can cause pressure fluctuations and safety hazards; therefore, using the correct OEM-specified tool like the ESAB 5230148 is mandatory for compliant repairs.
