OVERVIEW

Reliable Ignition for Oxy-Fuel Operations

The ESAB 790F36 Flint Renewal is an essential consumable for any professional welder or fabricator utilizing oxy-fuel equipment. Designed to restore the functionality of your manual spark lighters, these high-quality flints ensure that you can ignite your torch safely and efficiently every time. In the fast-paced environment of industrial welding, a reliable ignition source is not just a convenience—it is a safety necessity. These renewals are manufactured from premium ferrocerium, a material renowned for its ability to produce hot, consistent sparks when struck against a friction file.

Standard Compatibility and Ease of Use

One of the key benefits of the ESAB 790F36 is its broad compatibility. These flints are engineered to fit most standard single-flint strikers (often referred to as cup lighters) found in workshops across the globe. The renewal package is designed for quick and easy installation, allowing operators to swap out worn-down flints in seconds without significant downtime. The "3-Unit Stand" designation in some catalog listings refers to the retail display or packaging configuration, ensuring that these small but critical components are kept organized and accessible until needed.

Safety First in Welding Environments

Using a proper friction lighter with high-quality flints like the 790F36 is a critical safety practice. Unlike butane lighters or matches, which can be dangerous around leaking gas or open flames, a flint striker produces a controlled spark directed specifically at the torch tip. This minimizes the risk of accidental fires or hand burns during the ignition process. By keeping a stock of ESAB Flint Renewals on hand, you ensure that your safety equipment is always operational, maintaining compliance with industry safety standards.

Long-Lasting Performance

ESAB’s commitment to quality means these flints are dense and durable, providing a long service life before needing replacement. They resist crumbling and provide a strong frictional resistance against the striker's file, generating a robust shower of sparks even in challenging conditions. Whether you are working in a garage, a heavy industrial plant, or a construction site, the ESAB 790F36 Flint Renewal is the dependable choice for maintaining your oxy-fuel ignition tools.

FAQ

These flints are designed primarily for standard single-flint cup lighters (bowl strikers). They are typically not compatible with triple-flint strikers, which use a triangular flint cartridge.

The quantity can vary based on the specific packaging (e.g., carded, bulk, or holder). Typically, a 'renewal' holder contains 5 flints, but please refer to the specific product quantity listed at purchase.

Flint strikers are safer because they do not have a reservoir of flammable gas that can explode. They also keep your hand at a safer distance and produce a directed spark rather than an open flame.

No, they are made of ferrocerium, a synthetic pyrophoric alloy that produces hot sparks when oxidized by friction against a rough surface.

Unscrew the head or the spring housing of your striker, remove the old flint remnant, insert the new ESAB flint, and reassemble. Ensure the spring provides tension against the file.

While the material is similar, the size of welding flints is specific to welding strikers. They may not fit the mechanisms of camping lanterns or standard cigarette lighters.

Ferrocerium flints can degrade (oxidize and turn to powder) over very long periods if exposed to high humidity, but generally, they last for years if kept dry.

Yes, the ESAB 790F36 is a genuine ESAB/Victor product, ensuring high quality and proper fitment for your tools.
