The ESAB 999151 Diaphragm is a critical internal component designed for the maintenance and repair of specific ESAB, Purox, and Oxweld gas regulators. As the heart of any pressure regulator, the diaphragm is responsible for balancing the force of the adjustment spring against the inlet gas pressure, allowing for a steady and controlled outlet flow. Over time, diaphragms can lose their elasticity, crack, or become stiff due to constant flexing and exposure to pressurized gases. Replacing a worn diaphragm with this genuine OEM part ensures that your equipment continues to function safely and accurately.
Manufactured to strict tolerances, this diaphragm is crafted from high-quality industrial elastomers that offer excellent resistance to gas permeation and environmental wear. Using non-OEM or ill-fitting generic parts in gas apparatus can lead to dangerous leaks, pressure creep (where outlet pressure rises when flow stops), or inconsistent flow rates that compromise weld quality. The ESAB 999151 is engineered to provide the exact sensitivity and durability required for professional welding and cutting applications, ensuring that your regulator responds instantly to changes in demand.
Regular inspection of gas equipment is a key safety practice in any industrial setting. Symptoms of a failing diaphragm include a humming sound during operation, fluctuating delivery pressure, or the inability to hold a set pressure when the torch valves are closed. By installing the ESAB 999151, you restore the regulator's ability to maintain a constant delivery pressure, protecting both the operator and downstream equipment. This part is an essential item for equipment repair specialists and maintenance departments looking to extend the service life of their valuable gas regulation hardware.
Note: Regulator repair should always be performed by qualified technicians using proper tools and clean environments to prevent contamination, especially for oxygen service equipment.
