OVERVIEW

High-Performance Gouging Consumables for ESAB Systems

The ESAB 35442 Gouging Nozzle is a critical consumable designed for industrial plasma gouging operations utilizing the legacy PT-23 and PT-27 torch systems. Engineered to withstand the intense heat and pressure associated with plasma gouging, these nozzles facilitate the efficient removal of metal, weld defects, and surface imperfections. Unlike standard cutting nozzles which focus the arc for a narrow kerf, this gouging nozzle is shaped to widen the arc, allowing for a broader, controlled wash of molten metal.

Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous standards, these nozzles ensure compatibility and performance stability. The use of genuine or high-quality replacement parts is essential for maintaining the duty cycle and longevity of the torch head. The 35442 nozzle features a precision-machined orifice that stabilizes the plasma stream, reducing turbulence and ensuring a smooth gouge profile. This is particularly important in industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments where precision back-gouging or weld removal is required before re-welding.

This product is supplied in a pack of 5, providing a cost-effective inventory solution for high-volume workshops. Keeping a healthy stock of gouging nozzles minimizes machine downtime during critical repair projects. Whether used in shipyards, structural steel fabrication, or heavy equipment repair, the ESAB 35442 ensures your PT-23 or PT-27 system operates at peak efficiency for metal removal tasks.

FAQ

This gouging nozzle is specifically designed for use with ESAB PT-23 and PT-27 plasma torches.

This is a gouging nozzle, designed to widen the arc for metal removal rather than severing the material like a cutting nozzle.

The product is sold as a pack of 5 nozzles.

No, using a gouging nozzle for cutting will result in a very wide kerf and poor cut quality. You should switch to a standard cutting nozzle for severance work.

Plasma gouging is generally quieter, produces less smoke and fumes, and typically leaves a cleaner surface that requires less grinding before re-welding.

Replace the nozzle when the orifice becomes distorted, out of round, or if the gouging performance deteriorates significantly.

Yes, often you may need a specific heat shield or deflector designed for gouging in addition to the nozzle. Check your torch manual for the full gouging setup.
