0215202601 - ESAB PKB 250/400 Fume Extraction Torch Sealing Sleeve

Restore Optimal Fume Extraction Efficiency

The ESAB Sealing Sleeve (0215202601) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the ESAB PKB series of fume extraction MIG guns. Compatible with both the PKB 250 and PKB 400 models, this sleeve plays a vital role in the pneumatic integrity of the torch's vacuum system. In fume extraction welding, the efficiency of particulate capture relies heavily on maintaining a sealed pathway from the nozzle intake through the handle and into the extraction hose. Over time, thermal cycling and mechanical wear can degrade sealing components, leading to vacuum leaks that significantly reduce the capture rate of hazardous welding fumes.

This genuine ESAB spare part is manufactured to precise OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit that aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee. By replacing a worn or cracked sealing sleeve, you re-establish the necessary negative pressure at the nozzle, ensuring that smoke and particulates are effectively drawn away from the weld pool and the operator's breathing zone. The sleeve is constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant materials capable of withstanding the harsh environment of industrial welding, including exposure to spatter, radiant heat, and UV radiation.

Maintenance of fume extraction equipment is not just about tool longevity; it is a matter of regulatory compliance and operator safety. A compromised seal can render a high-end extraction unit ineffective, allowing fumes to escape into the general workshop environment. Regular inspection of the PKB torch assembly and timely replacement of the sealing sleeve ensures that your investment in safety equipment continues to pay dividends in health and productivity.

Installation is straightforward and should be performed as part of a regular maintenance schedule. Whether you are refurbishing an older PKB 250 or maintaining a fleet of PKB 400 torches, this sealing sleeve is the foundational component for a leak-free, high-performance extraction system.
