21052 - ESAB PT-31XT 40A Plasma Consumable Parts Kit

Genuine ESAB 21052 40 Amp XT Consumable Kit

The ESAB 21052 40 Amp XT Kit is a comprehensive consumable package designed specifically for the PT-31XT plasma cutting torch, commonly found on the ESAB PowerCut 400 and similar plasma cutting systems. This kit is engineered to restore the cutting efficiency and precision of your equipment by replacing the most critical wear components in the torch head. Utilizing genuine ESAB parts ensures that your machine operates within its specified parameters, maintaining the integrity of the electrical arc and the cooling gas flow.

The kit features the "XT" (Extended Life) series of consumables. These components are manufactured with high-grade copper alloys and precision-inserted hafnium emitters in the electrodes to withstand the intense heat of the plasma arc. The 40 Amp tips are machined to exact tolerances to constrict the plasma stream effectively, resulting in a narrower kerf, reduced dross, and higher travel speeds. The inclusion of a replacement swirl baffle is critical, as this component controls the vortex of the plasma gas; a worn baffle can lead to an unstable arc and premature tip failure. By replacing the baffle alongside the electrodes and tips, operators can ensure the torch performs as if it were new.

Industrial maintenance teams and fabricators rely on the ESAB 21052 kit to minimize downtime. Instead of managing inventory for individual part numbers like the 20860 tip or 20862 electrode, this pre-packaged solution provides the correct ratio of parts typically consumed during standard operation. It is an essential stock item for any workshop utilizing the PT-31XT torch for light to medium-duty cutting applications on mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

Technical Specifications

The components in this kit are rated for 40 Amps of output power. They are strictly compatible with the PT-31XT torch model. Users should verify their torch model before purchase, as standard PT-31 torches may require different consumables. The kit includes three cutting tips, two electrodes, and one swirl baffle, packaged for protection against moisture and contamination.
