17119 - ESAB PT-121 50A Plasma Cutting Tips (5-Pack)

Precision Plasma Cutting with ESAB OEM Consumables

The ESAB 17119 Cutting Tip 50A is a critical component designed for the PT-121 plasma cutting torch. In the realm of industrial metal fabrication, the quality of your consumables directly dictates the quality of your cut. This specific cutting tip is engineered to handle a current of 50 Amperes, making it suitable for a wide range of conductive materials including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. By utilizing genuine ESAB parts, operators ensure that the gas flow dynamics within the torch head remain turbulent-free, focusing the plasma arc for maximum energy density and cutting speed.

Plasma cutting relies on a constricted arc to melt metal and a high-velocity gas stream to blow the molten material away. The cutting tip, or nozzle, constricts this arc. Over time, the orifice of the tip will wear, becoming out-of-round or enlarged, which leads to a wider kerf, increased dross, and a beveled edge. The ESAB 17119 is manufactured with high-grade copper alloys to resist thermal deformation, but regular replacement is necessary to maintain tolerance. This 5-pack configuration is designed for industrial environments where uptime is paramount, allowing maintenance teams to swap out consumables immediately upon detecting cut quality degradation.

Compatibility is key in plasma systems. The PT-121 torch is a specific model in ESAB's lineup, and using generic or incorrect tips can lead to internal arcing, damage to the electrode, or even catastrophic torch failure. The 17119 tip ensures the correct standoff distance and arc voltage characteristics are maintained. Whether integrated into an automated cutting table or used in a manual hand-held operation, these tips provide the consistency required for repeatable, high-quality fabrication work. Investing in OEM consumables like the ESAB 17119 minimizes troubleshooting time and maximizes the lifespan of the torch body itself.
