OVERVIEW

Precision Replacement for Heavy-Duty Gas Control

The ESAB 22355 Seat Assembly is an essential maintenance component engineered specifically for the renowned R-6700 series of industrial gas regulators. As the primary sealing mechanism within the high-pressure chamber, the seat plays a pivotal role in modulating gas flow from the cylinder to the delivery line. Over time, the extreme pressures and frequent cycling inherent in welding and cutting operations can cause the seat material to degrade, leading to performance issues. This genuine OEM part ensures that your equipment continues to operate within its original factory specifications.

Constructed from high-grade materials compatible with various industrial gases, the 22355 assembly is designed to withstand the mechanical stress of the regulator's valve stem. A compromised seat is the leading cause of "regulator creep," a condition where delivery pressure rises uncommanded when the downstream valve is closed. Replacing the seat with this authentic ESAB component effectively resolves this safety hazard, ensuring stable pressure delivery and protecting downstream equipment from over-pressurization.

Maintenance professionals understand that using genuine parts is critical for liability and safety, especially when dealing with high-pressure oxygen and fuel gases. The ESAB 22355 offers the exact dimensional tolerances required for the R-6700 body, ensuring a leak-free seal and smooth adjustment characteristics. Whether performing routine preventative maintenance or an emergency repair, this seat assembly is the standard for restoring R-6700 regulators to peak operational condition.

FAQ

The most common sign is 'creep,' where the delivery pressure gauge continues to rise after you have closed the torch valve. This indicates the seat is not sealing completely against the high-pressure inlet.

This seat assembly is specifically designed for the ESAB R-6700 series. It may not fit or function correctly in other models or brands. Always check your equipment's parts diagram.

No, this item is the seat assembly only. The nozzle is a separate component, though they are often inspected and cleaned together during repair.

Yes, provided the regulator is an R-6700 series designed for oxygen service. However, all parts used in oxygen service must be kept absolutely free of oil and grease to prevent combustion hazards.

There is no set time interval; it depends on usage frequency and gas cleanliness. It should be replaced whenever performance issues like creep or instability are observed, or during a general overhaul.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring the correct material composition and dimensional tolerances for safe operation.

You will typically need a bench vise, a large adjustable wrench or specific regulator body wrench, and clean tools to handle the internal components without contaminating them.
