0558006110 - ESAB Replacement Plasma Gas Hose #2 - 26ft Lead

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0558006110 Plasma Gas Hose

The ESAB 0558006110 is a specialized replacement component designed for the precise delivery of process gases in ESAB plasma cutting systems. Designated as "Gas Hose #2," this assembly plays a critical role in the fluid dynamics of the plasma torch, ensuring that the plasma gas or shield gas is delivered from the power source to the torch head with consistent pressure and flow rate. In plasma cutting, the stability of the arc and the quality of the cut face are directly dependent on the laminar flow of gases; any interruption, turbulence, or leakage in the delivery system can result in poor cut quality, rapid consumable wear, or system faults.

This hose assembly measures 8 meters (approximately 26 feet) in length, providing significant operational reach for industrial environments. The length is particularly advantageous in large-scale fabrication scenarios where the operator must move around large workpieces or fixtures without constantly relocating the primary power supply unit. The hose is constructed from high-grade, industrial-strength materials engineered to withstand the harsh conditions typical of metalworking shops, including exposure to ozone, UV radiation, and incidental contact with hot sparks or abrasive surfaces.

As a genuine OEM part, the 0558006110 ensures dimensional accuracy and material compatibility with ESAB equipment. The fittings are factory-crimped to meet specific pressure ratings, eliminating the risks associated with field-repaired hoses or generic alternatives that may not withstand the pneumatic stresses of plasma cutting. Proper maintenance of the gas delivery system is essential for the longevity of the torch; replacing aged or cracked hoses with this OEM component restores the system's integrity, preventing gas loss and ensuring that the plasma system operates within its specified parameters for duty cycle and cut capacity.

Integration of this hose into the cable assembly requires adherence to ESAB's service manual procedures. It is designed to route seamlessly alongside other leads and power cables, maintaining the flexibility and ergonomics of the torch handle while protecting the gas stream from external impingement.
