598208 - ESAB PT-8 Machine Plasma Torch, 180 Deg, 13ft Cable

Industrial Grade Machine Plasma Torch

The ESAB PT-8 Machine Torch (SKU: 598208) is a specialized plasma cutting instrument designed for mechanized applications. Featuring a 180-degree straight barrel configuration, this torch is engineered for mounting on gantry systems, track burners, and other automated cutting tables where precision and vertical alignment are paramount. The unit comes complete with a 13-foot (approximately 4 meters) lead assembly, providing sufficient reach for standard machine setups while maintaining optimal arc stability.

Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous standards, the PT-8 utilizes an air-cooled design, eliminating the need for complex liquid cooling systems often found in higher-amperage torches. This simplicity enhances reliability and reduces maintenance requirements. The torch is compatible with specific legacy ESAB and L-Tec power sources, serving as a critical replacement component for maintaining the operational status of older but vital industrial cutting equipment. Its robust construction ensures longevity even in environments with high dust and metal particulate levels.

The 598208 assembly includes the torch body, handle/barrel, and the necessary power/gas cable assembly. It is designed to accept standard PT-8 consumables, ensuring that operators can easily source replacement nozzles and electrodes. For facilities relying on established plasma cutting infrastructure, this OEM replacement part guarantees compatibility and performance continuity.
