997783 - ESAB PT-251 100A Plasma Nozzle Replacement

High-Performance ESAB PT-251 Cutting Tip (100A)

The ESAB 997783 is a premium-grade cutting tip designed specifically for the PT-251 plasma torch, a staple in heavy industrial cutting environments. Engineered to handle high-amperage applications, this 100 Amp tip is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and precision of the plasma arc. In plasma cutting systems like the ESAB ESP-100, the cutting tip (or nozzle) serves to constrict the gas flow and focus the arc energy into a high-density stream capable of severing conductive metals rapidly. Using genuine OEM consumables like the 997783 ensures that the orifice geometry is perfectly aligned with the electrode, preventing premature wear and ensuring consistent cut quality across the lifespan of the part.

Manufactured from high-conductivity copper alloy, this tip is designed to withstand the intense thermal loads generated during 100-amp operation. Efficient heat dissipation is vital to prevent the orifice from becoming out-of-round, which leads to angular cuts and excessive dross formation. Industrial fabricators rely on the PT-251 system for its durability, and maintaining it with authentic ESAB parts guarantees that the cooling gas flows correctly around the arc, protecting both the consumable and the torch head. This specific tip is optimized for standard cutting operations, providing a balance of speed and edge quality that aftermarket alternatives often fail to replicate.

Regular inspection and replacement of the cutting tip are essential maintenance protocols for any plasma cutting operation. A worn tip with a blown-out orifice will cause the arc to wander, reducing penetration and increasing the width of the kerf. By choosing the ESAB 997783, operators ensure their equipment meets the manufacturer's specifications for duty cycle and performance. Whether processing mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this 100A tip delivers the focused energy required for clean, drop-cut results, minimizing secondary operations like grinding or machining.

At Josef Gas, we understand that uptime is critical in manufacturing and fabrication sectors. We supply only genuine ESAB consumables to ensure your plasma cutting systems operate at peak efficiency. The 997783 tip represents ESAB's commitment to quality engineering, offering a reliable solution for demanding cutting tasks.
