951307 - ESAB PT-15/19XL Torch Lead Sheath, 18 ft Replacement Cover

Technical Overview of the ESAB 951307 Sheath

The ESAB 951307 is a specialized replacement sheath engineered specifically for the PT-15 and PT-19XL series of plasma cutting torches. This component is critical for the structural integrity and protection of the torch lead assembly, which typically houses the power cable, gas hoses, and pilot arc wires. Measuring 18 feet in length, this sheath is designed to cover the standard lead length configuration for these specific torch models, ensuring complete coverage from the power source connection to the torch handle.

Manufactured to ESAB's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, the sheath is constructed from durable, flexible materials capable of withstanding the rigorous conditions of industrial metal fabrication environments. It serves as the primary defense against physical damage, such as abrasion from dragging across concrete floors, cuts from sharp metal edges, and incidental contact with hot slag or sparks. By bundling the internal components effectively, it also prevents tangling and reduces strain on individual hoses and cables during operation.

For maintenance personnel and technicians, replacing a compromised sheath is a vital preventative measure. A damaged sheath can expose internal insulation to environmental hazards, leading to potential gas leaks, coolant leaks (if applicable), or electrical faults. The 951307 ensures that the PT-15 and PT-19XL systems remain compliant with safety standards and operational efficiency. Installation involves disconnecting the torch leads from the power source and sliding the new sheath over the assembly, a straightforward process that restores the equipment to factory-level protection.
