36559 - ESAB PT-26 Manual Plasma Torch, 50ft Lead, 90 Degree Head

Heavy-Duty Industrial Plasma Cutting Performance

The ESAB PT-26 Plasma Torch (36559) is a robust manual cutting tool designed to deliver high-performance results in the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered for compatibility with heavy-duty power sources such as the PCM-150, this torch is a staple in shipyards, scrap yards, and heavy fabrication shops. The "PT" series from ESAB is renowned for its reliability, and the PT-26 is no exception, offering a rugged design that withstands the heat, spatter, and physical impact common in heavy metalworking.

Extended Reach and Ergonomics

This specific configuration features a 50-foot (15.2 meter) lead, providing operators with exceptional mobility. In large workshops or on construction sites, the ability to move freely around a workpiece without constantly repositioning the heavy power supply is a significant productivity booster. The torch head is angled at 90 degrees, which is the industry standard for manual cutting operations. This angle reduces wrist strain during vertical and horizontal cuts, allowing for greater precision and reduced operator fatigue over long shifts.

Reliable Consumable System

The PT-26 utilizes a straightforward consumable system designed for efficient heat dissipation and arc stability. The torch is air/gas cooled, relying on the flow of plasma gas (typically compressed air or nitrogen) to maintain operating temperatures. This simplicity reduces maintenance complexity compared to water-cooled systems while still supporting the high amperage required to sever thick plates. Whether you are gouging welds or cutting structural steel, the PT-26 delivers a consistent, focused arc.

Built for the Long Haul

Durability is at the core of the PT-26 design. The handle is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant materials that provide a secure grip even with gloved hands. The cable assembly is protected by a durable outer jacket that resists cuts, abrasion, and oil exposure. For professionals who require a dependable replacement torch for their legacy ESAB equipment, the 36559 PT-26 is the definitive choice for restoring full cutting capability.
