86W35 - Purox R-1723 Regulator Elbow Fitting

Precision Engineering for Industrial Gas Control

The ESAB 86W35 Elbow is a critical replacement component designed exclusively for the R-1723 series of industrial gas regulators. In the realm of oxy-fuel welding and cutting, the integrity of every connection within the gas delivery system is paramount. The R-1723 regulator is a workhorse in heavy industry, known for its high flow capacity and rugged durability. This elbow fitting is engineered to meet the exact specifications of that system, ensuring that gas flow dynamics are preserved and that pressure drops are minimized across the fitting.

Manufactured from high-grade brass alloy, this component offers superior resistance to corrosion and oxidation, which is essential when handling reactive gases like oxygen or fuel gases. The metallurgy is selected to withstand the mechanical stresses of daily industrial use, including vibration and thermal expansion/contraction cycles. Unlike generic fittings that may suffer from poor thread tolerances or inferior material composition, the ESAB 86W35 is machined to strict OEM standards. This precision ensures a gas-tight seal, eliminating the risk of hazardous leaks that can compromise workplace safety and process efficiency.

Maintenance personnel and safety officers understand that using genuine OEM parts for regulator repair is not merely a matter of fitment but of compliance and safety. The 86W35 elbow restores the regulator to its original factory condition, ensuring that the device continues to operate within its design parameters. Whether used in a manifold system, a station drop, or a portable cylinder setup, this elbow provides the reliability required for continuous, heavy-duty operations. It serves as a testament to ESAB's commitment to supporting their legacy equipment with high-quality spare parts.

Installation of the 86W35 should always be performed by qualified personnel familiar with gas apparatus repair. The fitting is designed to interface seamlessly with the R-1723 body and outlet connections, requiring standard tools for installation. By choosing this genuine ESAB part, facilities ensure the longevity of their capital equipment and the safety of their operators.
