48R457 - Walter Surfox 90-Degree Wand Insert

Precision Component for Surfox Systems

The Walter 48R457 90-Degree Insert is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the versatility of your Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning system. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this insert is engineered to solve common challenges faced during the cleaning of stainless steel welds. Specifically, it addresses the difficulty of reaching into tight corners, T-joints, and 90-degree fillet welds with standard straight wands.

Constructed from high-quality, conductive materials, this insert ensures that the electrical current required for the electrochemical process is transmitted efficiently from the wand to the cleaning pad. Its robust design is resistant to the acidic electrolytes used in the Surfox process, ensuring a long service life even in demanding industrial environments. By attaching this insert to your existing Surfox wand, you transform your setup into a tool capable of navigating complex geometries without compromising on cleaning speed or passivation quality.

This component is an essential addition for any fabrication shop working with complex stainless steel assemblies. It integrates seamlessly with standard Surfox wands and is compatible with the appropriate cleaning pads and boots designed for angled applications. Whether you are removing heat tint, discoloration, or other impurities from T-joints or inside corners, the 48R457 insert provides the ergonomic angle necessary to maintain consistent contact and pressure, resulting in a flawless finish every time.

Key Benefits for Industrial Users

Using the correct insert is critical for maintaining the efficiency of the electrochemical cleaning process. The 90-degree angle reduces operator fatigue by allowing the hand and wrist to remain in a more natural position while cleaning vertical or overhead fillet welds. This ergonomic advantage, combined with the technical superiority of Walter's design, makes the 48R457 a smart investment for maintaining high productivity and safety standards in metal finishing operations.
