OVERVIEW

Precision Pressure Monitoring for Industrial Regulators

The ESAB 18696 is a high-quality replacement pressure gauge designed specifically for industrial gas regulators. Engineered with a 50mm (approximately 2-inch) diameter face, this gauge provides a clear and legible display of pressure readings, essential for maintaining precise process control in welding and cutting applications. The unit features a scale ranging from 0 to 100 PSI, making it typically suitable for monitoring the low-pressure (delivery) side of an oxygen regulator or other compatible gas systems requiring this specific pressure range.

Constructed with a durable steel case, the gauge is built to resist the mechanical impacts and environmental stressors common in workshops and fabrication sites. The internal mechanism is calibrated to ensure accuracy, providing operators with reliable feedback on gas flow settings. The face of the gauge is color-coded green, adhering to standard industry safety coding which traditionally identifies components suitable for Oxygen service. This visual cue aids in the rapid identification of the correct equipment setup, enhancing shop safety protocols.

Installation is straightforward, utilizing a standard threaded connection compatible with most major regulator brands that accept 50mm gauges. Whether used for maintenance, repair, or operations (MRO) or as a stock replacement part, the ESAB 18696 ensures that your gas delivery systems remain operational and safe. Proper pressure monitoring is critical for weld quality; a functioning gauge allows for the exact setting of flow rates, preventing issues such as porosity or inconsistent arc stability caused by incorrect gas pressure.

Technical Specifications

The gauge features a bottom-mount connection style, typical for regulator configurations. The steel housing offers superior protection compared to plastic alternatives, shielding the sensitive bourdon tube mechanism inside. The 0-100 PSI range is graduated with distinct markings to facilitate quick checks by the operator. This component is an essential spare part for maintaining the longevity and accuracy of your oxy-fuel or gas arc welding equipment.

FAQ

This gauge measures pressure from 0 to 100 PSI.

In the welding industry, green typically indicates that the equipment is intended for Oxygen service.

The gauge has a diameter of 50mm, which is approximately 2 inches.

The case is made of steel (STL), providing better durability than plastic alternatives.

While it may physically fit, Acetylene gauges are typically red and have a lower scale (often up to 30 PSI red-line). This green gauge is designed for Oxygen or inert gases. Always match the gauge to the specific gas service for safety.

Ensure the system is depressurized. Remove the old gauge using a wrench on the brass stem (never twist the case). Apply a small amount of oxygen-safe PTFE tape to the threads of the new gauge if required, and tighten firmly into the port.

This is a low-pressure gauge, typically used to measure the 'delivery' or 'working' pressure coming out of the regulator, not the tank pressure.

It fits most regulators that accept a standard 1/4" NPT or 1/8" NPT (depending on the specific thread, usually 1/4" for 2" gauges) bottom-mount gauge. Check your existing regulator's port size to confirm compatibility.
