999242 - ESAB PT-121 Manual Plasma Torch, 70 Degree Head, 25ft Leads

Technical Overview of the ESAB PT-121 Manual Plasma Torch

The ESAB PT-121 Manual Plasma Torch (SKU: 999242) is a specialized industrial component designed for high-performance plasma cutting applications. Engineered by ESAB, a leader in welding and cutting technologies, this torch assembly is configured for manual operation, providing operators with direct control over the cutting path and speed. The unit features a specific 70-degree head angle, a design choice that optimizes the angle of attack for general fabrication and scrapping, allowing for efficient slag clearance and visibility of the arc.

This assembly comes complete with 25-foot (7.6-meter) lines, providing substantial reach from the power source. This length is critical for facility layouts where the plasma power supply is stationary, yet the workpiece requires the operator to move around the perimeter. The leads are insulated and sheathed to withstand the harsh environment of a metalworking shop, resisting abrasion and incidental contact with hot debris. The torch body itself is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant materials that ensure electrical isolation and thermal stability during high-amperage duty cycles.

The PT-121 is compatible with specific legacy and current ESAB power sources that utilize this torch connection standard. It utilizes standard ESAB plasma consumables, including electrodes, nozzles, and swirl rings designed for the PT-121 series, ensuring that maintenance and parts sourcing remain streamlined for the MRO specialist. The torch trigger mechanism is designed for reliability, minimizing the risk of switch failure in dust-heavy environments. This product is supplied as a complete torch and lead assembly, ready for installation and immediate integration into existing plasma cutting setups.
