OVERVIEW

Reliable Protection for Your PT-26 Plasma Torch

The ESAB 34591 Insert Heat Shield is a critical component designed to keep your ESAB PT-26 plasma torch operating at peak efficiency. In the demanding environment of industrial plasma cutting, the front-end consumables of your torch are subjected to intense heat, molten metal spatter, and high-velocity gas flow. This heat shield insert acts as the first line of defense, protecting the more sensitive internal components—such as the nozzle and electrode—from the harsh conditions of the cutting arc.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting OEM standards, this insert ensures a perfect fit for the PT-26 model. Using genuine parts is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of your equipment. A worn or damaged heat shield can lead to irregular gas flow, poor arc initiation, and even permanent damage to the torch head if heat is not properly managed. By replacing your heat shield insert regularly, you ensure that your plasma cutter continues to deliver clean, precise cuts without unnecessary downtime.

Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, automotive repair, or general maintenance, keeping your plasma torch in top condition is vital for productivity. The ESAB 34591 is built from high-grade, heat-resistant materials that withstand the thermal shock of plasma cutting. It effectively directs the shielding gas and helps contain the plasma arc, contributing to a more focused and stable cut. Don't let a compromised shield affect your work quality; stock up on genuine ESAB replacements to keep your operations running smoothly.

FAQ

The ESAB 34591 Insert Heat Shield is designed specifically for the ESAB PT-26 plasma torch.

You should replace the insert when you notice cracks, significant burns, deformation, or if the orifices become clogged with spatter that cannot be cleaned.

Yes, a damaged heat shield can disrupt gas flow and arc stability, leading to poor cut quality and increased dross.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM ESAB part, ensuring proper fit and performance for your equipment.

No, this insert is engineered specifically for the PT-26. Using it on other models may cause damage or safety hazards.

It is made of a high-temperature resistant composite or ceramic material designed to withstand the heat of the plasma arc.

No, the ESAB 34591 is sold as the heat shield insert only. Nozzles and electrodes are sold separately.

Cracking is usually caused by thermal shock, excessive heat buildup from piercing too close to the plate, or simply age and usage fatigue.
