OVERVIEW

Essential Maintenance Components: ESAB 21701 O-Ring Pack

The ESAB 21701 O-Ring kit is a critical Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) consumable designed to ensure the longevity and performance of precision welding equipment. Supplied in a convenient pack of 10, these O-rings are manufactured to exact specifications with an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.070 inches and a Cross Section (CS) of 0.070 inches. These dimensions typically correspond to standard dash numbers (likely AS568-004), making them a versatile component for various sealing applications within the ESAB product ecosystem and compatible legacy systems.

In industrial welding environments, the integrity of gas and fluid seals is paramount. A compromised O-ring can lead to shielding gas loss, atmospheric contamination of the weld pool, or coolant leakage in water-cooled systems. By stocking the ESAB 21701, facility managers and equipment technicians ensure that small, inexpensive wear parts do not become the bottleneck for production. The 10-count packaging is optimized for inventory control, allowing for batch replacement during scheduled maintenance intervals rather than reactive single-part ordering.

These O-rings are constructed from durable elastomeric materials designed to withstand the compression and thermal cycling common in welding torch assemblies. Whether used in TIG torch back caps, gas valve stems, or internal torch head connections, the ESAB 21701 provides a reliable static seal. Regular inspection and replacement of these O-rings are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance program to maintain equipment compliance and operational efficiency.

FAQ

These O-rings have an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.070 inches and a Cross Section (CS) or thickness of 0.070 inches.

The ESAB 21701 product contains a package of 10 O-rings.

They are made of a standard elastomer (rubber) suitable for general welding sealing applications, offering resistance to compression set.

This size (0.070" x 0.070") is common in many TIG torch back caps and valve stems, particularly ESAB and legacy Linde models. Please check your equipment manual for part number 21701 or the specific dimension requirements.

Worn O-rings cause gas leaks, which waste shielding gas and can suck atmospheric air into the weld zone, leading to porosity and poor weld quality.

A very light film of silicone lubricant is often recommended to prevent the O-ring from tearing during installation and to help it seat properly, but check your torch manual to ensure compatibility.

Yes, the dimensions 0.070" ID x 0.070" CS correspond to the standard AS568-004 O-ring size.

If the size matches your coolant line connections, these can generally be used for water seals, provided the temperature does not exceed the rubber's rating.
