948201 - ESAB PT-251 Manual Plasma Torch with 50ft Leads and 70-Degree Head

Heavy-Duty Manual Plasma Cutting Torch

The ESAB PT-251 Manual Plasma Torch (SKU: 948201) is a premium replacement torch designed for rigorous industrial cutting applications. Engineered by ESAB, a global leader in welding and cutting technologies, the PT-251 series is renowned for its durability and performance in demanding environments. This specific configuration features a 70-degree head angle, which provides an optimal ergonomic position for operators performing manual cutting tasks across various positions, reducing wrist strain during extended use.

One of the standout features of this assembly is the extended 50-foot lead. In many industrial settings, such as shipyards, structural steel fabrication shops, and large-scale maintenance facilities, the ability to move freely around a workpiece is critical. Standard torch leads often restrict movement, forcing the operator to frequently relocate the heavy power source. With 50 feet of reach, this PT-251 torch allows for seamless maneuverability around large structures, improving workflow efficiency and safety by reducing cable clutter and machine movements.

The torch is air/gas cooled, utilizing the plasma gas flow to maintain operating temperatures, which simplifies the setup by eliminating the need for external water cooling systems. It is built with high-quality materials to resist impact, heat, and abrasion, ensuring a long service life even in harsh conditions. The PT-251 is compatible with specific legacy and current ESAB power sources, making it an essential component for maintaining the operational capability of your existing plasma cutting equipment.
