187W01 - ESAB 187W01 Replacement O-Ring .301 ID x .070 (5-Pack)

Precision Sealing for Welding Systems

The ESAB 187W01 O-Ring is a critical maintenance component designed to ensure the hermetic integrity of gas-shielded welding equipment. Manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances, this O-ring features an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.301 inches and a Cross-Sectional (CS) thickness of 0.070 inches. These dimensions typically correspond to standard dash sizes (likely AS568-011), ensuring compatibility with specific machined grooves found in ESAB MIG guns, TIG torches, and gas distribution adaptors.

In pneumatic and gas delivery systems, the O-ring serves as the primary barrier against shielding gas leakage. A compromised seal can lead to significant gas loss, increasing operational costs, and more critically, can allow the aspiration of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into the shielding gas stream. This contamination is a leading cause of weld defects such as porosity, oxidation, and poor bead appearance. The 187W01 is engineered from high-quality elastomeric material selected for its resilience and compatibility with common inert and active welding gases, including Argon, CO2, and Helium mixtures.

This product is supplied as a package of five, facilitating routine preventative maintenance schedules. Regular inspection and replacement of O-rings during torch disassembly or liner changes are recommended to maintain optimal equipment performance. By using genuine ESAB replacement parts, operators ensure that the durometer and dimensional stability of the seal meet the original equipment manufacturer's specifications for pressure retention and thermal resistance.
