57N69 - ESAB HW-27 TIG Torch Replacement Handle Tube 57N69

ESAB 57N69 Mounting Tube for HW-27 TIG Torches

The ESAB 57N69 Mounting Tube is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the HW-27 series of heavy-duty water-cooled TIG torches. In the demanding world of industrial welding, the HW-27 (and its equivalents like the WP-27 or PTW-27) is a workhorse, often utilized for high-amperage applications exceeding 500 amps. These torches are frequently employed in automated setups or for manual welding of thick materials where heat generation is intense. The mounting tube, acting as the handle and protective outer shell, plays a vital role in the safety and functionality of the torch assembly.

Constructed from robust, high-impact composite materials, the 57N69 Mounting Tube is engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of heavy fabrication environments. It provides a durable barrier that shields the internal power cables, water hoses, and gas lines from physical damage, sparks, and abrasion. More importantly, it serves as the primary electrical insulator, protecting the welder from the high-frequency current and welding power flowing through the torch body. A compromised handle can lead to safety hazards or coolant leaks, making timely replacement essential for maintaining a safe workshop.

This genuine ESAB part ensures a perfect fit with legacy Linde and L-Tec HW-27 models, as well as modern iterations of the 27-series torch. Its threaded design allows for secure attachment to the torch body, maintaining the alignment and rigidity required for precision welding. Whether you are repairing a torch that has seen years of service or performing preventative maintenance on your welding fleet, the ESAB 57N69 Mounting Tube offers the reliability and quality professionals expect from the ESAB brand. Keep your equipment running at peak performance and ensure operator comfort with this essential replacement part.

Installation is straightforward, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly swap out damaged tubes and return the torch to service with minimal downtime. By investing in genuine OEM parts like the 57N69, you guarantee compatibility and longevity, avoiding the frustrations often associated with ill-fitting generic components.
