0700300588 - ESAB OKC 50 TIG Torch Power and Gas Adapter Block

Professional Connection Solution for TIG Welding

The ESAB Power Gas Adaptor OKC50 (0700300588) is an essential component for professional welders seeking a reliable interface between their TIG torch and power source. Designed with the precision and durability expected from ESAB, this adapter facilitates the connection of TIG torches—specifically those utilizing a single power cable system—to welding machines equipped with standard OKC 50 (Dinse 50mm²) output terminals. In industrial environments where equipment versatility is key, this adapter ensures that your torch setup is compatible with a broad range of power sources.

Robust Engineering and Performance

Constructed from high-grade copper alloys and brass, the adapter is engineered to handle high amperage loads with minimal electrical resistance. This ensures that the welding current is delivered efficiently to the tungsten electrode, maintaining arc stability and weld quality. The unit features a robust insulating rubber housing that protects the operator from electrical hazards while resisting the wear and tear typical of heavy-duty workshop environments, including exposure to heat, sparks, and oils.

Integrated Gas Management

One of the critical functions of this adapter is its ability to manage shielding gas flow. It features a dedicated gas input port that allows the shielding gas hose from the regulator or solenoid to connect directly to the block. The gas is then routed through the adapter into the torch's power cable (for 1-piece cable systems), ensuring a consistent and turbulence-free flow of argon or helium to the weld pool. This integration simplifies cable management and reduces the risk of gas leaks at the connection point.

Compatibility and Application

While optimized for ESAB welding machines, the standard OKC 50 sizing makes this adapter universally compatible with any power source utilizing Dinse 50mm² sockets. It is particularly useful for adapting aftermarket or specialty TIG torches to standard machines, providing flexibility for fabricators who require specific torch configurations for unique jobs. Whether for maintenance, repair, or production welding, the ESAB Power Gas Adaptor OKC50 is a critical link in your welding circuit.
