0700200172 - ESAB MXH 400W PP Replacement Cable Assembly - 6.0m Water-Cooled

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0700200172 Cable Assembly

The ESAB 0700200172 is a specialized replacement cable assembly designed exclusively for the MXH 400W PP (Push-Pull) MIG welding gun. This component serves as the primary conduit for welding current, shielding gas, and cooling liquid between the power source/feeder and the torch handle. With a length of 6.0 meters (approximately 19.6 feet), it provides significant reach for industrial fabrication environments where operator mobility is essential.

As a water-cooled assembly (indicated by the 'W' in the model name and 'C W Cable' designation), this unit is engineered to manage the thermal loads associated with high-amperage welding, typically up to 400 amps. The assembly features integrated coolant lines that circulate fluid to the torch head, preventing overheating during prolonged duty cycles. The internal construction includes high-conductivity copper stranding for efficient power transfer, minimizing voltage drop across the 6-meter span.

The outer jacket is constructed from durable, abrasion-resistant materials designed to withstand the rigors of shop floor environments, including exposure to sparks, spatter, and mechanical wear. This specific SKU is a direct OEM replacement, ensuring that all connections—including coolant fittings, gas lines, and power lugs—mate perfectly with the MXH 400W PP system without the need for adapters or modification. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of the cable assembly are critical for maintaining arc stability and preventing coolant leaks that could damage the welding machine or the torch itself.
