The ESAB TXH 252W TIG Torch (SKU: 0700300856) represents the pinnacle of operator comfort and technical performance in the realm of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Designed specifically for industrial applications requiring sustained high-amperage output, this water-cooled torch assembly is engineered to manage heat efficiently, ensuring consistent performance even during prolonged welding cycles. The 'W' designation indicates its liquid-cooled architecture, which is essential for maintaining a 100% duty cycle at 250 Amps DC and 180 Amps AC. This capability makes it an ideal choice for heavy fabrication shops, pipe welding, and precision manufacturing where downtime due to torch overheating is not an option.
The torch features an 8-meter (approximately 26 feet) cable assembly, providing significant operational radius around large workpieces or fixtures. The cable is protected by a durable yet flexible sheath, with the first meter typically reinforced with leather or high-grade material to resist spatter and abrasion near the working zone. The TXH series is renowned for its ergonomic handle design, which incorporates soft-grip areas to minimize hand strain and improve grip stability. A ball joint connection at the base of the handle ensures the cable does not restrict wrist movement, allowing for precise electrode manipulation in complex joints.
Technically, the TXH 252W is built to accommodate tungsten electrodes ranging from 1.0mm to 3.2mm, covering a vast majority of standard TIG applications. The torch head is insulated with high-temperature silicone rubber, preventing voltage leakage and ensuring operator safety. It comes equipped with a standard trigger module that is reliable and easy to actuate, though the modular design allows for the integration of various remote control options depending on the power source compatibility. This specific SKU (0700300856) is a direct replacement or upgrade for compatible ESAB welding machines, ensuring seamless integration with existing water-cooling units and gas management systems.
