0558004617 - ESAB PT-15XL 260A Oxygen Plasma Nozzle

High-Performance ESAB PT-15XL Plasma Nozzle

The ESAB 0558004617 Nozzle is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the PT-15XL plasma cutting torch. Engineered to handle the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication, this nozzle is rated for 260 Amps, making it suitable for cutting thick metal plates with speed and precision. As a genuine ESAB part, it guarantees seamless compatibility with your existing PT-15XL system, ensuring that your automated or mechanized cutting operations maintain peak efficiency without unexpected downtime caused by poor-fitting aftermarket replacements.

Optimized for Oxygen Cutting

This specific nozzle is calibrated for use with Oxygen (O2) as the plasma gas. Oxygen plasma cutting is the industry standard for processing mild steel because the oxygen reacts exothermically with the iron in the steel, boosting the cutting speed and leaving a smooth, dross-free edge that often requires no secondary grinding. The 0558004617 nozzle features a precision-machined orifice that constricts the oxygen plasma arc, focusing the energy density to deliver clean, square cuts even at the high current of 260A. This makes it an indispensable tool for shipyards, structural steel plants, and heavy equipment manufacturers.

Durability and Thermal Management

Constructed from high-quality copper, this nozzle excels at thermal conductivity. In high-amperage plasma cutting, heat management is vital to prevent the nozzle orifice from eroding too quickly. The copper body efficiently transfers heat away from the arc zone to the torch's cooling system, extending the service life of the consumable. Regular inspection and replacement of the nozzle are essential for maintaining cut quality; a worn nozzle can lead to beveled edges and poor arc starting. By choosing the ESAB 0558004617, you are investing in the reliability and longevity of your cutting process.

Industrial Reliability

Josef Gas understands that consistency is key in industrial manufacturing. Using OEM parts like this ESAB nozzle ensures that your cut parameters remain stable shift after shift. Whether you are piercing heavy plate or running long continuous cuts, this 260A Oxygen nozzle provides the stability required for high-volume production environments.
