16Z58 - ESAB 16Z58 Mixed Gas Throat for PT-250 Plasma Torch

Genuine ESAB 16Z58 Throat for Mixed Gas Plasma Cutting

The ESAB 16Z58 Throat Mixed Gas W-26 #250 is a critical replacement component designed for high-performance industrial plasma cutting systems. When precision and cut quality are paramount, especially when working with non-ferrous metals like stainless steel or aluminum, the integrity of your torch's internal components is essential. This specific throat is engineered to handle the unique flow dynamics and thermal properties of mixed gases (such as Argon/Hydrogen or Nitrogen/Hydrogen blends), ensuring that your plasma arc remains stable, focused, and effective.

In heavy-duty plasma torches, the throat serves as a channel that directs the plasma gas and assists in the constriction of the arc. Over time, the extreme heat and high-velocity gas erosion can wear down this component, leading to turbulent gas flow, reduced cut quality, and potential damage to other torch parts. Replacing the throat with a genuine ESAB 16Z58 ensures that your system maintains factory-spec tolerances. This part is specifically designated for "Mixed Gas" setups, distinguishing it from standard air or oxygen parts, which may not withstand the specific chemical and thermal environments of mixed gas cutting.

Using OEM parts like the 16Z58 guarantees compatibility with your ESAB equipment, likely the PT-250 or similar heavy-duty mechanized torches. It helps prevent costly downtime associated with arc failures or poor cut edges that require secondary rework. Whether you are running a fabrication shop or a large-scale manufacturing line, maintaining your plasma torch with the correct consumables is the key to consistent production.

Key Benefits of the ESAB 16Z58

• Optimized Gas Flow: Designed to reduce turbulence and maintain a laminar flow for mixed gases.


• Thermal Durability: Constructed from high-grade materials to resist the intense heat of the plasma arc.


• OEM Precision: Manufactured by ESAB to exact specifications for a perfect fit and seal.


• Enhanced Cut Quality: Contributes to dross-free cuts and square edges on thick materials.
