I have 2 oxygen regulators right now that have the same problem. Victor and Radnor 250 series. I rarely use my oxy-acetylene torch set. Maybe twice a year. They won't hold the pressure setting and the pressure just keeps rising. The welding supply companies will only repair if you bring them the regulator. They don't want to sell you the simple rebuild kit. I guess there have been idiots who have messed up and hurt themselves after a DIY repair.
I know, NO OILS OR GREASE ANYWHERE NEAR OXYGEN SYSTEMS.
These guys sell the kit:
SR250 Repair Kit
My question is, what is the culprit? is it the small teflon washer that is split? Is it the diaphragm?
It sure is frustrating when you need a quick torch repair and it won't work when needed.
