O/A regulators

admin

I use Oxy/Propane on my rig and I noticed that even if I have the propane set at a low psi of 3-5lbs, the gage will slowly "bleed up" to a higher pressure, not so dangerous with Prop. but with Acetylene not the greatest.                   I am at a loss, any suggestions/ideas would be great   I believe that the regulator is a CXA or CGA something, I cant recall off the top of my head                                                                    _ BlackhawkL-Tec PCM-VPi II Hobart Handler140Millermatic 35Lincoln Power arc 4000Lincoln Ranger 10,000 ( 3 ) Longevity Tigweld 160SX Purox O/A setup100lb anvilXLO/servosource cnc mill

Reply:Weldgault, CGA 510 sounds familiar, ill have to check it out see what it looks like in there, and see if they still make replacements                                                 Thanks, Blackhawk.L-Tec PCM-VPi II Hobart Handler140Millermatic 35Lincoln Power arc 4000Lincoln Ranger 10,000 ( 3 ) Longevity Tigweld 160SX Purox O/A setup100lb anvilXLO/servosource cnc mill
Reply:It is not a good practice to go into the insides of a regulator, unless you understand the outcome.  What is the brand name or pic's and I can tell you if it is stilll available.  JohnSMAW,GMAW,FCAW,GTAW,SAW,PAC/PAW/OFCand Shielding Gases.  There all here. :

Reply:The only thing that is CGA 510 is the gauge to tank fitting style. The regulator is whatever it is. Smith, Victor, etc..
Reply:They are Oxweld and yes, parts are still available.  Your LWS will be able to send it off or repair it in house.  esabna.com or 800-ESAB123 can help if nothing else.  John(The only thing that is CGA 510 is the gauge to tank fitting style.
