996647 - ESAB PT-19 Plasma Torch Boot Hose Assembly

Protect Your Equipment with the ESAB 996647 Boot Hose

The ESAB 996647 Boot Hose is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the PT-19 and PT-19XL series of plasma cutting torches. In the demanding environment of industrial metal fabrication, plasma torches are subjected to constant movement, heat, and mechanical stress. The boot hose serves as the primary interface between the rigid torch handle and the flexible cable assembly, playing a vital role in the longevity and safety of your equipment.

Over time, the original boot on your plasma torch can become brittle, cracked, or loose due to exposure to UV radiation, ozone, and the intense heat generated during cutting operations. A compromised boot fails to provide adequate strain relief, allowing the delicate internal power cables and gas hoses to bend sharply at the handle connection. This can lead to internal wire breakage, gas leaks, or even electrical shorts that pose a safety hazard to the operator. Replacing a worn boot with this genuine ESAB part restores the protective barrier and ensures your leads remain securely supported.

This OEM part is manufactured to ESAB's exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit for PT-19 and PT-19XL models. Unlike generic aftermarket replacements that may not seal correctly or offer the same level of flexibility, the 996647 Boot Hose installs seamlessly, maintaining the ergonomic balance of the torch. It is constructed from high-quality, durable materials capable of withstanding the rigors of daily shop use, including resistance to sparks, spatter, and common workshop fluids.

Maintenance of your plasma cutting system extends beyond just changing electrodes and nozzles. Inspecting the condition of your torch handle and boot is a best practice that prevents costly downtime. By investing in the correct replacement boot, you extend the life of your entire torch assembly and maintain the high performance expected from ESAB plasma systems.
