OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB 61N22 Sleeve Insulator for ST-12 Torches

Maintain the precision and safety of your TIG welding operations with the ESAB 61N22 Sleeve Insulator. Designed exclusively for the heavy-duty ST-12 TIG torch (formerly known under the Linde and L-Tec brands), this component plays a pivotal role in the torch's assembly. The sleeve insulator acts as a critical barrier, electrically isolating the current-carrying components of the torch head from the handle and other non-conductive parts. Without a functioning insulator, welders risk internal arcing, torch damage, and potential safety hazards.

The ST-12 torch is renowned for its durability in industrial environments, and the 61N22 insulator is built to match that standard. Manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant materials, it is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycles associated with high-amperage TIG welding. Over time, insulators can become brittle, cracked, or carbon-tracked due to heat exposure and spatter. Replacing a worn insulator with this genuine ESAB part restores the dielectric strength of the torch assembly, ensuring a stable arc and consistent gas shielding.

At Josef Gas, we understand that using OEM parts is essential for equipment longevity. This sleeve insulator fits perfectly within the ST-12 head assembly, ensuring no gaps that could lead to high-frequency leakage or shielding gas turbulence. Whether you are performing critical aerospace welds or heavy industrial fabrication, ensuring your torch insulation is intact is the first step toward a quality weld.

Key Benefits of the 61N22 Insulator

  • Perfect Fit: Engineered to exact factory specifications for the ST-12 torch, ensuring hassle-free installation.
  • Thermal Durability: Resists degradation from high radiant heat, reducing the frequency of replacements.
  • Safety First: Prevents electrical shorts within the torch body, protecting both the equipment and the operator.
  • Arc Stability: Helps maintain a focused arc by preventing stray current leakage.

FAQ

The 61N22 sleeve insulator is designed specifically for the ESAB (formerly Linde/L-Tec) ST-12 TIG torch.

Over time, the insulator can crack due to heat cycles or physical impact, leading to electrical shorts or gas leakage. Replacing it ensures safety and weld quality.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, ensuring the correct fit and material properties for your torch.

It is made from a high-temperature resistant, non-conductive material designed to withstand the heat of TIG welding without melting or becoming conductive.

Yes. A cracked insulator can cause shielding gas turbulence or allow high-frequency current to leak, resulting in unstable arcs and porosity.

You should inspect the insulator every time you change your tungsten or collet. Look for cracks, burns, or carbon tracking.

No, the 61N22 is specific to the ST-12. Other torches like the ST-18 or ST-20 use different insulator part numbers.
