OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB 21660 Heat Shield for PT-25 Plasma Systems

The ESAB 21660 Heat Shield (Long) is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the PT-25 plasma cutting torch. In industrial metal fabrication and maintenance, the integrity of the plasma torch's front-end parts is paramount for maintaining cut quality and operational safety. This genuine ESAB replacement part serves as the primary barrier between the intense heat of the plasma arc and the sensitive internal components of the torch head, such as the nozzle and electrode.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting engineering standards, the 21660 shield is constructed from durable, high-temperature resistant materials capable of withstanding the extreme thermal cycling inherent in plasma cutting operations. Its "long" design offers extended coverage, which is particularly beneficial in applications where spatter buildup is a concern or where additional standoff distance protection is required. By effectively shielding the nozzle from molten metal blowback, this component significantly extends the service life of your consumables, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

For MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) managers and procurement specialists, stocking genuine OEM parts like the ESAB 21660 ensures that your equipment operates within manufacturer specifications. Using non-OEM substitutes can often lead to poor gas flow dynamics, irregular arcs, and premature torch failure. This heat shield ensures proper gas distribution around the arc, stabilizing the plasma stream for clean, precise cuts on conductive metals. Whether utilized in automated cutting tables or manual fabrication stations, the ESAB 21660 is an essential spare part to keep on hand to prevent unexpected production stoppages.

Installation is straightforward, fitting seamlessly onto the PT-25 torch body. Regular inspection of the heat shield is recommended; signs of wear such as cracks, burns, or clogged orifices indicate that replacement is necessary to maintain optimal system performance. Trust Josef Gas to supply authentic ESAB consumables that meet the rigorous demands of the welding and cutting industry.

FAQ

The ESAB 21660 is specifically designed for use with the ESAB PT-25 plasma cutting torch.

A long heat shield, like the 21660, typically provides more physical coverage and protection for the nozzle against spatter and heat, which can be beneficial in certain cutting positions or higher amperage applications.

The heat shield should be replaced when it shows signs of physical damage such as cracks, chips, severe burns, or if the orifice becomes permanently clogged with spatter that affects gas flow.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM ESAB part, ensuring the correct fit and material specifications for your equipment.

Yes, a damaged shield can disrupt the shielding gas flow, leading to a less stable arc, increased bevel on the cut edge, and excessive dross buildup.

It is made from a high-temperature resistant composite or ceramic material designed to withstand the extreme heat of the plasma arc and resist electrical conductivity.

While the PT-25 can be used for various techniques, always refer to the specific torch manual regarding drag cutting compatibility with specific shield cups to prevent premature wear.

No, the 21660 is the heat shield only. Nozzles and electrodes are sold separately.
