My oxygen gauge is "creeping" higher when I stop welding.Went to United Gauge to ask it was closed up and gone.The nerve of a ninty year old guy retiring like that.No troubleshooting info in my Victor guide either.Obviously a gauge problem but what gives??

Hey guys, a word to the wise. There are warning labels on those regulators that say "Use No Oil." If you take it apart and touch anything, your hands have natural oil on them. The natural oil in our skin is how fingerprints are found at crime scenes. If you use one of your wrenches or a screwdriver inside of a regulator, what did you use the tool for last? To open a can of oil or adjust an oily engine valve?

If your regulator is not working right, take or send it to a certified repair shop, or buy a new one. They are not that expensive.

Hi DS,

Jim has it correct, there's a seat spring and a check valve seat (lack of a better word) thats leaking. My son just replaced his 2yrs ago at $65 from the local dealer, just for parts mind you!

I'm not T_BONE, but will give you my $.02 cents worth.. I have had similar problem with the OXWELD regulators I inherited from my dad. I have found the valves, (usually rubber seated) to leak. I obtained replacement valves from the Linde dealer the first time I had this problem. They were out of business the next time, so I pried the rubber (that usually becomes hardened) from the tiny brass pellet, cleaned it thoroughly, cut a piece of rubber to fit it, then super glued it into place. They have been working for years this way.
LOL

You did not say which gauge was creeping up. I would suspect you mean the low pressure one from what you are discribing. Creeping up pressure on the low pressure gauge is a sign of a bad diaphram in the regulator. Suspect that the cost of repair may exceed the cost of replacement these days but I could be wrong.
If it is the high pressure gauge that creeps up it would be a bad high pressure gauge or a partly obstructed inlet to the gauge.
