0700300567 - ESAB TXH 401w Water-Cooled TIG Torch, 400A, 8m Cable, OKC50

Industrial Grade Water-Cooled TIG Welding Torch

The ESAB TXH 401w is a premium water-cooled TIG torch designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered for precision and durability, this torch (SKU 0700300567) is part of the renowned TXH series, which prioritizes welder ergonomics without compromising on power delivery. The 'W' designation indicates its water-cooled architecture, which is essential for high-amperage applications where heat management is critical for both the longevity of the consumables and the comfort of the operator.

Technically, the TXH 401w is rated for a 100% duty cycle at 400 Amps DC and 280 Amps AC. This continuous rating ensures that the torch can withstand prolonged welding arcs without overheating, making it an ideal choice for automated setups or intensive manual welding on thick materials such as aluminum and stainless steel. The cooling system is designed to efficiently dissipate heat from the torch head, ensuring consistent conductivity and arc stability.

The assembly features an 8-meter (approximately 26 feet) cable, providing a generous working radius that allows operators to move around large workpieces without constantly repositioning the power source. The cable is terminated with an OKC50 connector, a standard 50mm² Dinse-style plug that ensures a solid, low-resistance electrical connection to compatible welding machines. The cable itself is constructed with high-quality materials that offer a balance of durability and flexibility, resisting cuts and abrasion common in workshop environments.

Ergonomics are a focal point of the TXH design. The handle is contoured to fit naturally in the hand, featuring soft-grip areas that reduce grip force requirements. A ball joint at the base of the handle allows the cable to swivel freely, minimizing the drag and torque transferred to the welder's wrist. This attention to biomechanics helps reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries and allows for greater precision during intricate welds. The torch is compatible with standard ESAB consumables, ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and easy to swap out during maintenance intervals.
