Restore Precision with the ESAB HW-9 Torch Body

The ESAB HW-9 Body 70 Deg (19686) is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the high performance of your air-cooled TIG welding setup. When your torch body becomes damaged due to excessive heat, impact, or wear over time, it can compromise shielding gas coverage and electrical conductivity. This genuine ESAB part ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency, providing the reliability professional welders demand.

The HW-9 series is renowned for its compact size and maneuverability, making it a favorite for intricate work on thinner gauge materials. This replacement body features the standard 70-degree head angle, which offers the perfect balance between accessibility and comfort. It allows the welder to maintain a proper tungsten angle relative to the workpiece while keeping their hand in a natural, fatigue-free position. Whether you are welding in a tight corner or performing a long run on a bench, the ergonomics of this torch body help sustain weld quality.

Durability is a key feature of the ESAB 19686. It is encased in high-quality, high-temperature silicone rubber insulation. This material not only protects the welder from electrical current and heat but also resists cracking and hardening that can occur with inferior aftermarket parts. Inside, robust copper components ensure efficient current transfer, minimizing resistance and heat buildup within the head itself. This body is designed to handle the typical amperage range of the HW-9 series (approx. 125A DC), making it suitable for a wide variety of light-to-medium duty TIG applications.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. Replacing a damaged torch head is a quick and effective way to extend the life of your entire torch assembly without the expense of buying a completely new torch.
