The ESAB 998380 Diaphragm Assembly is a critical replacement component designed to restore the functionality and safety of your industrial gas regulators. As the heart of any pressure regulator, the diaphragm is responsible for sensing downstream pressure and modulating the valve opening to maintain a steady flow. Over time, diaphragms can lose elasticity, crack, or become stiff, leading to issues such as pressure creep, fluctuating flow rates, or external leaks. This genuine ESAB part ensures that your equipment operates within factory specifications, providing the reliability professional welders demand.
Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, this diaphragm assembly is constructed from high-grade materials compatible with specific industrial gases. It is engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses of repeated pressurization cycles while maintaining sensitivity to slight pressure changes. Using OEM parts like the 998380 guarantees a proper seal and fit, which is essential for safety when handling high-pressure oxygen, acetylene, or shielding gases. Attempting to use generic or ill-fitting diaphragms can compromise the regulator's performance and pose significant safety risks.
Maintenance of gas equipment is a vital aspect of shop safety. If you notice your regulator gauge rising when the torch is off (creep) or hear hissing from the bonnet vents, it is often a sign that the diaphragm assembly requires replacement. Installing the ESAB 998380 is a cost-effective solution to extend the service life of your premium regulation equipment without the need for a complete unit replacement.
