0558006789 - ESAB PT-38 Plasma Torch Body Assembly (No Piston)

Genuine ESAB PT-38 Torch Body Replacement

The ESAB 0558006789 is a genuine OEM replacement body assembly designed specifically for the PT-38 plasma cutting torch. This component is critical for maintaining the precise alignment and electrical continuity required for high-performance plasma cutting. Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, this body features a brazed construction that ensures exceptional durability and resistance to the extreme thermal cycles inherent in plasma operations.

This specific SKU is supplied as the "Body (Less Piston)," meaning it includes the structural brazed assembly but does not include the internal piston mechanism used for arc initiation. This configuration is ideal for maintenance scenarios where the external body or threads have been damaged, but the internal moving parts remain functional. By transferring the existing piston to this new body, operators can effect a complete repair at a lower cost than purchasing a fully loaded head assembly.

Proper maintenance of the torch body is essential for safety and cut quality. A compromised torch body can lead to gas leaks, poor arc stability, or electrical hazards. Installing this genuine ESAB part ensures that all gas passages and electrical connections align perfectly with the torch handle and consumables. It is compatible with ESAB PowerCut systems utilizing the PT-38 torch platform. Industrial MRO professionals rely on genuine ESAB parts to minimize downtime and maintain the factory-rated performance of their cutting equipment.

Technical Note: Ensure that all O-rings and seals are inspected and lubricated during the transfer of internal components to the new body to prevent gas leakage.
