948239 - ESAB PT-251M Push-Pull Aluminum MIG Torch 25ft

Reliable Aluminum Wire Feeding with the ESAB PT-251M

The ESAB PT-251M Push-Pull MIG Gun is a specialized welding tool designed to conquer the challenges of feeding soft wires, particularly aluminum. Standard MIG guns often struggle with aluminum wire over lengths greater than 10 feet due to the wire's softness, which leads to buckling, friction, and the dreaded "bird-nesting" at the feeder. The PT-251M eliminates these issues by incorporating a precision motor directly into the torch handle. This motor works in synchronization with your wire feeder to pull the wire at the gun end while the feeder pushes it, maintaining constant tension and smooth delivery.

With a generous 25-foot (7.6 meter) cable length, this torch provides exceptional reach, making it perfect for working on large projects such as boat hulls, truck trailers, and large aluminum structures where moving the power source is impractical. The gun is air-cooled and rated for 250 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, providing ample power for most medium-to-heavy fabrication jobs. Its rugged design ensures longevity in industrial environments, while the ergonomic handle minimizes wrist strain during extended use.

Key Benefits for Fabricators

Fabricators choose the PT-251M for its reliability. Downtime caused by clearing jammed wire is costly; this push-pull system keeps the arc on and production moving. The torch is compatible with standard ESAB consumables, ensuring that replacement tips and nozzles are easy to source. Whether you are welding thin gauge aluminum sheet or heavier plate, the consistent wire feed speed provided by the PT-251M results in cleaner starts, stable arcs, and superior weld quality.
