20426 - ESAB PT-17A 70 Amp Plasma Gouging Tip (5-Pack)

High-Performance ESAB 20426 Gouging Tip for PT-17A Torches

The ESAB 20426 Gouging Tip is a specialized consumable designed for the PT-17A plasma torch system. Engineered to operate at 70 Amps, this tip is essential for professionals who require precision and efficiency in plasma gouging applications. Plasma gouging is a critical process in metal fabrication, often used for removing defective welds, preparing edges for welding, or removing cracks in castings. The ESAB 20426 is manufactured to meet the rigorous standards of industrial environments, ensuring that operators can achieve clean, consistent results.

This product comes in a package of five, providing excellent value and ensuring that your welding or cutting station is stocked with necessary replacements. The tip features a precision-machined orifice that shapes the plasma arc specifically for gouging, which differs from standard cutting. This design allows for a wider, softer arc that washes away molten metal rather than severing it, giving the operator greater control over the depth and width of the groove. Using genuine ESAB consumables like the 20426 helps maintain the longevity of your PT-17A torch head by ensuring proper fit and electrical conductivity.

Durability is a key factor in plasma consumables, and these gouging tips are crafted from high-quality copper alloys that excel in heat dissipation. Efficient heat management prevents premature melting or deformation of the tip orifice, maintaining arc stability over longer periods of use. Whether you are working on mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the ESAB 20426 delivers the performance needed to clear metal rapidly and cleanly. By choosing the correct amperage rating of 70A, users optimize the balance between removal rate and control, making this tip a versatile choice for medium-duty gouging tasks.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of reliable equipment. The ESAB 20426 ensures that your plasma system operates at peak performance, reducing the need for secondary grinding or cleanup. Ensure your PT-17A torch is ready for any repair or fabrication challenge with these high-grade gouging tips.
