54A82 - ESAB 54A82 Oxygen Throttle Valve Assembly for W-17/W-500 Torches

Genuine ESAB Replacement Oxygen Valve Assembly

The ESAB 54A82 is a critical replacement component designed for the maintenance and repair of heavy-duty oxy-fuel welding torches. Specifically engineered for the classic Oxweld W-17 and W-500 series torch handles, this throttle valve assembly ensures the precise control of oxygen flow required for high-quality welding and heating applications. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, it guarantees dimensional accuracy, material compatibility, and adherence to strict safety standards associated with high-pressure oxygen service.

Over time, the internal components of a torch handle—specifically the valve stems and seating surfaces—can wear down due to repetitive use, overtightening, or debris accumulation. This wear often manifests as gas leakage around the valve stem or difficulty in fine-tuning the flame profile. The 54A82 assembly provides a comprehensive solution by replacing the entire throttle mechanism, including the valve stem, packing, and seating elements, restoring the torch to factory specifications.

Industrial MRO professionals understand that using genuine parts for oxy-fuel equipment is not merely a matter of performance but of safety. Oxygen systems require components free of oil and grease and constructed from materials compatible with high-purity oxygen to prevent combustion hazards. This ESAB assembly is manufactured to these rigorous standards, offering peace of mind and extended service life for your valuable welding assets.

Whether refurbishing older shop equipment or maintaining a fleet of production torches, the 54A82 offers a direct-fit solution that minimizes downtime. Its robust brass construction resists corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring that your W-17 or W-500 handle continues to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments.
