The ESAB 948185 is a specialized gas hose assembly designed exclusively for the PT-251 plasma cutting torch. As a critical component in the plasma cutting system, this hose is responsible for delivering the plasma gas (typically air or nitrogen) from the power source to the torch head. Maintaining the integrity of this connection is vital for arc stability, cooling, and overall cut quality. This specific SKU offers a length of 25 feet (7.6 meters), matching standard torch lead lengths to ensure full system compatibility.
Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous industrial standards, the hose features a durable outer jacket capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of metal fabrication environments, including exposure to sparks, abrasion, and dragging across concrete floors. The fittings are precision-crimped to prevent leaks, which can lead to pressure drops and poor cutting performance. For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), using genuine OEM parts like the 948185 ensures that the equipment operates within factory specifications and minimizes downtime associated with fitting generic components.
This hose is an essential spare part for facilities utilizing the PT-251 system, ensuring that production is not halted due to a compromised gas line. Its flexibility and robust construction make it a reliable choice for professional fabricators requiring consistent performance.
