OVERVIEW

Precision Gas Mixing for Professional Welding

The ESAB AC-4 Mixer (01Y27) is a critical component for professional welders utilizing the renowned Purox W-300 torch handle series. Designed to deliver a perfectly balanced blend of oxygen and acetylene, this mixer ensures that your welding flame remains stable, controllable, and efficient throughout your operation. Whether you are performing intricate brazing tasks or heavy-duty fusion welding, the AC-4 mixer provides the consistency required for high-quality metallurgical bonds.

Manufactured by ESAB, a global leader in welding and cutting technologies, this mixer is built to exacting standards. It features high-quality brass construction, which offers excellent resistance to thermal shock and mechanical wear. The precision-drilled orifices within the mixing chamber are engineered to optimize gas velocity and turbulence, ensuring that the fuel gas and oxygen are thoroughly mixed before reaching the welding tip. This results in a cleaner burn, reduced soot, and better heat transfer to the workpiece.

Compatibility and Safety

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel processes. The ESAB AC-4 Mixer is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas. It is designed to fit seamlessly with the Purox W-300 welding handle, providing a secure, leak-proof seal that prevents gas loss and minimizes the risk of flashbacks. The threaded connections are durable and resist cross-threading, making it easy for operators to switch between different welding heads or heating nozzles in the field.

Key Benefits

  • Reliable Performance: Maintains consistent flame characteristics even during extended use.
  • Durable Build: Solid brass body withstands the rigors of industrial environments.
  • Perfect Fit: OEM specification ensures exact compatibility with W-300 handles.

Equip your welding station with the ESAB AC-4 Mixer to experience the reliability and precision that professional fabricators trust. It is an essential spare part for maintaining the operational readiness of your oxy-fuel equipment.

FAQ

The ESAB AC-4 Mixer (01Y27) is designed specifically for use with the Purox W-300 welding handle.

No, the AC-4 mixer is designed for use with Acetylene gas. For alternative fuels, a different mixer designed for that specific gas density and pressure is typically required.

The mixer combines the oxygen and fuel gas (acetylene) into a homogenous mixture before it reaches the tip, ensuring a stable and controlled flame.

Yes, the mixer typically includes the necessary O-rings or seating surfaces required to seal against the torch handle.

If you experience fluctuating flames, frequent popping/backfiring, or if the threads/seating surfaces are damaged, it is time to inspect and potentially replace the mixer.

The AC-4 is generally a positive pressure mixer, meaning both oxygen and fuel gas are supplied at positive pressures greater than 2 psi.

It is constructed from high-quality brass for durability and heat resistance.
