The ESAB 34355 Water Injection Hose is a critical replacement component engineered specifically for the PT-15XL plasma cutting torch. In the realm of heavy-duty industrial plasma cutting, the PT-15XL system is renowned for its ability to utilize water injection technology. This process involves injecting a radial swirl of water around the plasma arc, which significantly constricts the arc to increase its density and temperature. The result is a superior cut quality, particularly on stainless steel and aluminum, with reduced dross and a narrower kerf. This 12-foot hose assembly is the lifeline that delivers this essential fluid to the torch head.
Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous manufacturing standards, this hose assembly is built to withstand the harsh conditions of an industrial cutting environment. The hose material is selected for its resistance to abrasion, heat, and the chemical properties of the coolant or water used in the system. Over time, hoses in dynamic cable tracks or manual setups can suffer from fatigue, kinking, or dry rot. A compromised water injection hose can lead to inconsistent flow rates, which directly impacts the stability of the plasma arc and the cooling of the nozzle. Failure to maintain this line can result in rapid consumable wear or even catastrophic torch failure due to overheating.
The ESAB 34355 comes as a complete assembly with factory-crimped fittings designed to mate perfectly with the PT-15XL torch body and the corresponding console or junction block. The 12-foot length is a standard configuration for specific machine setups, ensuring that there is no excess slack to snag on machinery while providing adequate reach. By using genuine ESAB parts, operators ensure that the flow dynamics—pressure and volume—remain within the precise specifications required for the water injection process to function correctly. This part is essential for maintenance teams looking to restore their plasma system to factory-new performance levels.
