50Z38 - ESAB Purox Replacement Oxygen Lever 50Z38

Genuine ESAB 50Z38 Replacement Oxygen Lever

Maintain the integrity and performance of your oxy-fuel cutting equipment with the ESAB 50Z38 Replacement Lever. Designed specifically for the renowned Purox and Oxweld lines of cutting attachments, this lever is a critical component for controlling the flow of high-pressure cutting oxygen. When a torch lever becomes bent, worn, or stiff, it can compromise the operator's ability to initiate cuts smoothly or shut off flow instantly, leading to safety hazards and poor cut quality.

This authentic OEM part is engineered to the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring a seamless fit for models such as the Purox CW-200, CW-202, CW-300, and CW-400. Using genuine ESAB parts guarantees that the mechanical leverage applied to the oxygen valve is correct, preventing premature wear on the valve stem and seat. The 50Z38 lever is crafted from high-quality metal alloys capable of withstanding the thermal cycling and mechanical stress typical of industrial welding and fabrication environments.

Professional fabricators understand that the feel of the cutting lever is paramount to precision work. A lever that binds or has excessive play can result in jagged starts or wasted gas. By replacing a damaged lever with this genuine ESAB component, you restore the tactile feedback and reliability expected from professional-grade torches. Whether you are rebuilding an older torch or performing routine maintenance, the 50Z38 is the correct specification for restoring factory performance.

Compatibility and Installation

The 50Z38 is widely compatible with the classic Purox "CW" series cutting attachments often used with W-200, W-300, and similar welding handles. Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with torch repair, typically requiring the removal of the pivot pin or screw (sold separately) to swap out the old unit. Always ensure the torch is depressurized and disconnected from gas supplies before performing maintenance.
