0460048880 - ESAB TXH TIG Torch Replacement Handle Complete (Small)

Product Overview

The ESAB 0460048880 is a genuine replacement Handle Complete (Small) designed specifically for the ESAB TXH series of TIG welding torches. As a critical component of the torch assembly, the handle serves as the primary interface between the welder and the equipment, housing the internal power cable, gas hose, and control switch wiring. This "Complete" assembly typically includes the left and right handle shells along with the necessary securing hardware, allowing for a full replacement of damaged or worn-out grips.

Technical Compatibility

This handle is engineered to fit the "Small" form factor within the TXH line. The TXH series is renowned for its ergonomic design, and maintaining the integrity of the handle is essential for proper switch placement and cable strain relief. Using genuine ESAB parts ensures that the internal cavities align perfectly with the torch body and cable assembly, preventing movement that could lead to electrical shorts or gas leaks. The material is a high-grade, heat-resistant polymer capable of withstanding the thermal cycles and mechanical impact common in industrial environments.

Maintenance and Repair

Replacing a cracked or broken handle is a standard maintenance procedure that extends the service life of the TIG torch. A compromised handle can expose internal live parts or lead to uncomfortable handling. This kit provides the exact OEM geometry required to restore the torch to factory specifications. It is recommended to verify the specific TXH model number to ensure the "Small" handle size is the correct variant for your equipment.
