22077 - ESAB PT-27 Plasma Torch Head Assembly, 90 Degree

Restore Precision with the ESAB 22077 PT-27 Torch Head

The ESAB 22077 Head 90 Deg is a critical replacement assembly designed specifically for the PT-27 manual plasma cutting torch. In the demanding environment of industrial plasma cutting, the torch head is subjected to extreme thermal cycling, high voltage, and mechanical wear. Over time, the threads can strip, the internal gas passages can become clogged or eroded, and the insulation can degrade. Replacing a damaged head with this genuine ESAB part ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency and safety standards.

This particular model features a 90-degree angle. While many standard hand torches utilize a 75-degree head, the 90-degree configuration offers distinct ergonomic advantages in specific applications. It is particularly useful for gouging applications, cutting in tight vertical spaces, or for operators who prefer a perpendicular handle orientation relative to the workpiece. The head assembly is engineered to maintain the precise alignment of consumables—electrode, swirl baffle, nozzle, and heat shield—which is paramount for maintaining a focused plasma arc and achieving clean, dross-free cuts.

Constructed from high-quality brass and durable, heat-resistant polymers, the ESAB 22077 withstands the rigors of daily shop use. It ensures proper electrical conductivity and gas flow distribution, preventing issues like arc sputtering or premature consumable wear. As an OEM component, it guarantees seamless compatibility with existing PT-27 handles and cable assemblies, making the repair process straightforward for maintenance personnel.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The 22077 head is strictly compatible with the ESAB PT-27 torch system. It is not interchangeable with the PT-31, PT-23, or other ESAB torch series. Users should verify their torch model before purchasing. The assembly includes the conductive head body and the insulating sleeve required to mount it into the torch handle. Proper installation is essential for maintaining the dielectric strength of the torch and protecting the operator from high-voltage hazards.
