22483 - ESAB Regulator Inlet Filter Screen for R-6700 Series

Protect Your Gas Regulation Equipment

The ESAB 22483 Inlet Screen is a vital maintenance component designed to ensure the longevity and safety of your industrial gas regulators. Specifically engineered for the R-6700 series (including compatible Purox and Oxweld models), this filter sits at the very entrance of the regulator, acting as the first line of defense against contamination.

Gas cylinders, despite being filled under controlled conditions, can occasionally contain particulate matter, rust, or dust. Without a proper inlet screen, these microscopic particles travel at high velocity into the regulator's high-pressure chamber. When debris lodges between the regulator nozzle and the seat, it causes "creep"—a dangerous condition where outlet pressure rises uncontrollably—or permanent damage to the seat, necessitating expensive repairs.

This replacement screen is manufactured from high-grade sintered metal, providing a tortuous path for gas that effectively traps contaminants without significantly restricting flow. It is an essential part of any preventative maintenance schedule or overhaul kit. By replacing your inlet screen regularly, you ensure consistent performance, protect downstream equipment, and maintain a safe working environment.

Key Technical Benefits

• Superior Filtration: Sintered construction captures finer particles than standard wire mesh.
• Seat Protection: Directly prevents the most common cause of regulator failure.
• OEM Fit: Guaranteed compatibility with ESAB R-6700 series bodies.
