83Z97 - ESAB PT-23/PT-27 Replacement Torch Head 75 Degree

Restore Your Plasma Cutter's Precision

The ESAB 83Z97 75-Degree Torch Head is a critical replacement component designed to breathe new life into your existing plasma cutting setup. Specifically engineered for the robust PT-23 and PT-27 series torches, this head body is the central hub where your consumables mount and where the plasma arc is generated. Over time, torch heads can suffer from heat stress, stripped threads from frequent consumable changes, or internal arcing damage that compromises the gas seal. Replacing a damaged head is often a cost-effective alternative to purchasing an entirely new torch assembly.

This unit features a 75-degree angle, which is the industry standard for manual hand cutting. This ergonomic angle allows the operator to maintain a comfortable wrist position while viewing the arc and the cut line clearly. Whether you are working on a vintage L-TEC machine or a classic ESAB C-59/C-65 system, this OEM part ensures perfect compatibility. It connects seamlessly to the existing torch handle and cable assembly, maintaining the safety and performance standards you expect from ESAB equipment.

Using genuine ESAB parts like the 83Z97 guarantees that your airflow dynamics remain correct. Improperly manufactured aftermarket heads can cause turbulence in the plasma gas, leading to poor cut quality, excessive dross, and rapid consumable wear. By installing this authentic replacement, you ensure that the electrode, swirl baffle, and nozzle align perfectly, producing a focused and stable arc for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Installation is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with plasma torch assembly. The head includes the necessary threading to accept the torch handle and the internal connections for power and gas. Don't let a worn-out torch head limit your productivity; restore your machine's capability with this durable, high-performance replacement part.
