20805 - ESAB PT-251 Replacement Torch Body 75 Degree

Technical Overview of the ESAB PT-251 Torch Body (20805)

The ESAB 20805 is a genuine replacement torch body designed specifically for the PT-251 plasma cutting torch system. This component serves as the core structural and electrical interface for the torch consumables and the cable assembly. Engineered to withstand the high thermal stresses and electrical currents associated with industrial plasma cutting, this body features a 75-degree head angle, which is the standard configuration for general-purpose manual cutting applications.

Constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant composite materials, the 20805 torch body ensures electrical isolation and operator safety. It is precision-molded to accept standard PT-251 consumables, including the electrode, swirl baffle, nozzle, and heat shield, ensuring proper gas flow dynamics and arc alignment. As an OEM part, it guarantees seamless compatibility with existing ESAB PT-251 lead sets, maintaining the rated duty cycle and cutting performance of the power source.

Failure of a torch body can result from thread wear, impact damage, or internal arcing. Replacing a compromised body with the ESAB 20805 restores the torch to factory specifications, preventing gas leaks and ensuring consistent arc initiation. This unit is supplied as the bare body assembly, ready for the transfer of existing handle components or installation onto the power cable.
