The ESAB SR-B 26V TIG Torch (SKU: 0700025522) represents the next evolution in air-cooled welding torches, designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance. Part of ESAB's renowned SR-B series, this torch focuses heavily on welder ergonomics and durability. The "V" designation indicates an integrated gas valve on the torch body, a critical feature for welders utilizing power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid, such as many engine drives or stick welding machines adapted for TIG processes.
Technically, the SR-B 26V is a powerhouse in the air-cooled category. It boasts a duty cycle rating of 60% at 240A DC (170A AC), allowing for sustained welding on medium-to-heavy gauge materials without overheating. The 4-meter (approx. 13-foot) cable assembly provides a practical balance between reach and cable management, suitable for bench work and localized field repairs. The connection interface is a standard OKC 50 (Dinse 35-50mm²), ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of professional welding power sources.
The construction of the torch highlights ESAB's commitment to quality. The cable is sheathed in high-quality rubber that remains flexible even in colder environments while resisting cuts and burns. The head design accepts standard 26-series consumables, meaning replacement collets, bodies, and cups are readily available and cost-effective. For professionals requiring a reliable, manually controlled gas TIG torch, the SR-B 26V is an exceptional choice.
