The ESAB 22442 is a high-quality replacement pressure gauge designed to restore functionality and safety to industrial gas regulators. In the field of welding and fabrication, accurate pressure instrumentation is critical not only for process consistency but also for operator safety. This gauge features a 2.0-inch diameter dial, which is the industry standard size for most regulator bodies, providing a balance between compactness and readability. The scale ranges from 0 to 600 PSI (pounds per square inch), a specific range often utilized for monitoring the contents of Acetylene cylinders (which typically pressurize to ~250 PSI) or for medium-pressure delivery systems in specialized applications.
Engineered with a standard 1/4-inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) male connection, this component ensures broad compatibility with a wide array of regulator brands and models. The "ABS" designation in the product specification refers to the case material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. This thermoplastic housing offers significant advantages in an industrial MRO context, including resistance to impact, chemical corrosion, and physical wear, while remaining lightweight. Unlike metal cases that can dent or rust, the ABS housing maintains its integrity in harsh shop environments.
The gauge face is finished in white with high-contrast dark markings, facilitating quick visual checks by technicians and operators. Clear legibility is essential for identifying pressure anomalies or confirming that a system has been properly depressurized before maintenance. Whether used for routine maintenance replacements or emergency repairs, the ESAB 22442 provides the reliability expected from a leading manufacturer in the welding industry. It is suitable for use with non-corrosive gases compatible with brass internals, making it a versatile stock item for maintenance departments.
