948127 - ESAB Heliarc HW-26 Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 25ft, 75 Degree Head

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled Performance

The ESAB HW-26-2 TIG Torch (SKU: 948127) represents the enduring quality of the Heliarc lineage, designed for professional welders who demand reliability in air-cooled applications. This specific model is engineered to handle heavy-duty welding tasks without the need for a water-cooling system, making it an excellent choice for field work, maintenance, and fabrication shops where portability and simplicity are paramount. The torch is rated for substantial amperage, typically handling up to 200 amps DC, allowing it to weld thicker sections of steel and stainless steel effectively.

Optimized Ergonomics

One of the standout features of this assembly is the 75-degree head angle. While many standard TIG torches utilize a 90-degree or flex head, the fixed 75-degree angle on the HW-26-2 offers a natural hand position for many fillet and groove welds. This slight adjustment in angle can significantly reduce wrist strain over long periods of welding and provides a better line of sight into tight corners or complex geometries. The 25-foot cable assembly ensures that operators are not tethered too closely to the power source, providing the freedom to move around large assemblies or work on fixtures that are positioned away from the welding machine.

Compatibility and Durability

Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, the HW-26-2 utilizes high-temperature silicone rubber insulation and robust copper components to ensure efficient current transfer and heat dissipation. It is compatible with industry-standard 26-series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups, ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and affordable. Whether you are welding pipe, structural frames, or performing critical repairs, this ESAB torch delivers the consistent arc stability and comfort required for high-quality TIG welding.
