OVERVIEW

Precision Maintenance for Gas Regulators

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.

Technical Application

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.

FAQ

It is used to resurface or 'reseat' the metal sealing surface inside a Purox C-66 regulator to ensure a leak-tight seal with the soft seat.

This tool is specifically designed for the geometry of the Purox C-66 series. Using it on other models may damage the regulator or the tool.

If your regulator exhibits 'creep' (outlet pressure rising when the torch valves are closed) or leaks internally even after replacing the soft seat, the metal body likely needs reseating.

No, it is a durable steel tool designed for repeated use in a repair shop environment.

No, this tool repairs the metal body. You will still need a repair kit to replace the soft internal components like the seat, diaphragm, and O-rings.

Yes, gas apparatus repair should only be performed by qualified personnel. Improper repair of high-pressure oxygen equipment can be extremely dangerous.

It is manufactured from hardened steel to maintain a sharp cutting edge and ensure longevity.

Yes, as long as they are the C-66 model body style, the seat geometry is typically consistent, but always verify the specific model manual.
