34095 - ESAB PT-19XL Replacement Plasma Torch 17ft Lead

Technical Overview of the ESAB PT-19XL Plasma Torch

The ESAB PT-19XL (Part Number 34095) is a premium air-cooled plasma cutting torch designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance environments. Engineered specifically for compatibility with ESAB's PCM-500i and PCM-625i power sources, this torch assembly ensures seamless integration with the machine's pneumatic and electrical systems. The unit features a 17-foot (approximately 5.2 meters) lead, providing a significant operational radius that allows operators to work on large workpieces without constantly repositioning the power supply.

Technically, the PT-19XL utilizes a pilot arc starting mechanism (depending on machine configuration) and is rated for operation up to 60 Amps, making it suitable for cutting conductive metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The torch head is angled at a standard 75 degrees, a configuration that balances ergonomic comfort with optimal sightlines to the cutting arc. The handle is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant composite materials that isolate the operator from high voltage and heat while providing a secure grip.

Maintenance of the PT-19XL is streamlined through the use of standard ESAB consumables. The torch design facilitates rapid changeovers of electrodes, nozzles, and swirl baffles, minimizing downtime. The cable assembly is reinforced to resist abrasion and kinking, common failure points in workshop environments. By utilizing this genuine OEM assembly, users ensure that gas flow dynamics and current transfer remain within factory specifications, preserving the lifespan of both the torch and the power source.

This assembly is supplied as a complete unit, ready to connect. It includes the torch head, handle, trigger assembly, and the 17-foot cable bundle terminating in the specific connectors required for the compatible ESAB machines. It is an essential component for restoring the functional integrity of older PCM series plasma cutters.
