The ESAB 4266 Body Front W 17 is a critical replacement component designed to extend the service life of your air-cooled TIG welding torch. When your torch body becomes damaged due to excessive heat, thread wear, or accidental impact, it can compromise shielding gas coverage and electrical stability. This genuine ESAB replacement part is engineered specifically for the W-17 (and compatible 17-series) torch platform, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration with your existing handle and cable assembly.
Welding professionals understand that the torch body is the heart of the TIG assembly. It is responsible for transferring welding current from the power cable to the tungsten electrode while simultaneously directing the flow of inert shielding gas. The ESAB 4266 is manufactured with high-quality conductive alloys that minimize resistance and heat buildup, allowing you to weld at the torch's full 150-amp capacity without overheating. The exterior is encased in a durable, high-temperature silicone rubber insulation that protects the operator from electrical shock and withstands the harsh environment of industrial fabrication shops.
Replacing a damaged torch body is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing an entirely new torch assembly. This "Body Front" unit connects easily to your existing torch handle, allowing for quick repairs in the field or maintenance shop. Whether you are working on precision aerospace components, automotive exhaust systems, or general maintenance repairs, relying on genuine ESAB parts ensures that your equipment meets the rigorous demands of the job. Keep your arc stable and your welds clean with this essential spare part.
