The ESAB HW-171826 Accessory Kit (Part Number 999126) is a curated selection of essential TIG welding consumables designed to support the operation of HW-17, HW-18, and HW-26 series TIG torches. This kit is specifically engineered to accompany ESAB's high-performance welding power sources, including the MultiMaster 160, MultiMaster 350MPI, and the MiniArc 161 packages. By consolidating the most frequently used consumable sizes into a single package, this kit ensures that operators have the necessary components to configure their torches for a wide range of welding applications, from light-gauge fabrication to heavy-duty structural work.
The kit features a versatile array of collets and collet bodies, accommodating tungsten electrode diameters of 1/16 inch, 3/32 inch, and 1/8 inch. This range allows welders to adjust their setup based on amperage requirements and material thickness. Correspondingly, the kit includes three 7-inch tungsten electrodes, ensuring immediate readiness for arc initiation. To shape the shielding gas flow effectively, the package provides three sizes of alumina nozzles (cups): #5, #6, and #8. These sizes cover standard gas coverage needs for various joint configurations and stick-out lengths.
Compatibility is a key feature of the 999126 kit. It bridges the gap between air-cooled and water-cooled systems. The HW-17 and HW-26 are standard air-cooled torch designs, typically rated around 150A and 200A respectively, while the HW-18 is a water-cooled platform capable of higher amperages, often up to 350A or more. The manufacturer specifies amperage ratings of 150, 220, and 425 for the equipment this kit services, highlighting the robust nature of the consumables provided. Whether utilizing the portability of the MiniArc 161 or the industrial power of the MultiMaster 350MPI, this accessory kit provides the critical front-end parts required for consistent, high-quality TIG welds.
