Protect Your Plasma Torch Connections

The ESAB 18226 Strain Relief Switch Cord is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the PT-31XL plasma cutting torch. In the demanding environment of industrial cutting and fabrication, torch cables are constantly subjected to twisting, pulling, and bending.

This genuine ESAB part restores the original protective integrity of your equipment.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, this strain relief provides a flexible yet sturdy transition between the rigid torch handle and the flexible switch cord. By absorbing the mechanical stress of daily use, it prevents sharp bends that typically cause wire fatigue. Regular inspection and replacement of strain reliefs are essential parts of preventative maintenance, ensuring that your plasma cutter remains reliable and safe to operate. Whether you are repairing a damaged unit or refurbishing an older torch, the 18226 ensures a perfect fit and factory-level performance.

Installation is straightforward, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly swap out worn or cracked boots without significant downtime. Using genuine OEM parts like the ESAB 18226 guarantees that the dimensions and material properties match the original specifications of the PT-31XL, avoiding the fitment issues often associated with generic aftermarket replacements. Keep your plasma cutting operations running smoothly by protecting your equipment's most vulnerable connection points.
