33849 - ESAB HW-26F Air-Cooled TIG Torch, Flex Head, 25ft Cable

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled TIG Torch with Flexible Neck

The ESAB HW-26F (SKU: 33849) is a premium air-cooled TIG welding torch designed for industrial applications requiring durability and versatility. Part of the renowned Heliarc line, this torch is engineered to handle higher amperages without the complexity of a water-cooling system. It is rated at 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it one of the most capable air-cooled torches in its class. The 'F' designation indicates a flexible torch body, which can be adjusted to various angles to facilitate welding in obstructed or awkward positions.

This assembly includes a 25-foot, 1-piece power cable, which combines the power conductor and gas hose into a single durable line. This configuration simplifies cable management and reduces the weight dragged behind the operator. The torch utilizes standard industry consumables common to the 17, 18, and 26 series (10N series collets and bodies), ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective. The silicon rubber insulation on the torch body provides superior resistance to high temperatures and impact, ensuring a long service life even in harsh shop environments.

For procurement and facility managers, the ESAB HW-26F represents a reliable solution for maintenance and fabrication stations where water coolers are not feasible but higher amperage capacity is needed. Its compatibility with standard power sources and consumables makes it a low-risk, high-utility addition to any welding inventory.
