OVERVIEW

Protect Your Regulator Investment

The ESAB 05Y16 R-52 Screen is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the classic Purox R-52 series of gas regulators. In the world of industrial gas control, the longevity and accuracy of your equipment depend heavily on the cleanliness of the gas entering the system. This inlet screen acts as the first line of defense, capturing dirt, dust, scale, and other particulate matter that may be present in gas cylinders or supply lines before it can enter the delicate internal mechanisms of the regulator.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, this screen fits perfectly into the inlet assembly of the R-52 model. Over time, inlet screens can become clogged with debris, restricting flow and potentially causing performance issues. Alternatively, a damaged screen can allow contaminants to pass through, leading to seat damage, creep, or regulator failure. Replacing the screen during routine maintenance is a simple yet effective way to ensure your oxy-fuel or gas control equipment remains safe and reliable.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of maintaining your welding and cutting apparatus with genuine parts. Whether you are refurbishing an older Purox unit or performing scheduled maintenance, the 05Y16 screen ensures that your regulator continues to deliver the precise flow control required for high-quality work. Don't compromise on safety or performance—ensure your regulator intake is clean and protected with this authentic ESAB part.
