0700300555 - ESAB TXH 201 Air Cooled TIG Torch 8m OKC 50

Premium ESAB TXH 201 TIG Torch for Professional Fabrication

The ESAB TXH 201 is a high-performance air-cooled TIG torch designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional welders and industrial environments. Engineered with the user in mind, this torch combines robust durability with exceptional ergonomics, ensuring that welders can perform precise work over long periods without experiencing excessive fatigue. The specific model (0700300555) comes equipped with an 8-meter (approximately 26 feet) cable assembly, providing ample reach for working on large assemblies or in areas where the power source cannot be positioned immediately next to the workpiece.

One of the standout features of the TXH series is the ergonomic handle design. It incorporates soft-grip areas and a knuckle joint at the base of the handle, which significantly improves maneuverability. This ball joint allows the cable to pivot freely, reducing the torque and drag on the welder's wrist. This is particularly beneficial during out-of-position welding or when navigating complex joint geometries. The torch body itself is insulated with high-temperature silicone rubber, preventing overheating and ensuring a secure grip even during extended welding sessions.

The torch is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 35% duty cycle, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications, from light-gauge sheet metal to medium-thickness plate. It utilizes the standard OKC 50 connection (often referred to as a Dinse connector), which ensures a solid, high-conductivity electrical connection to the welding machine. This universal style of connector makes the TXH 201 compatible with a broad array of ESAB power sources as well as other machines equipped with standard OKC 50 outputs.

Maintenance and consumable replacement are straightforward with the TXH 201. It utilizes standard ESAB wear parts, including collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses, which are widely available and easy to swap out. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for a water cooler and associated plumbing, simplifying the setup and making this torch an excellent choice for portable welding rigs or shops where simplicity and reliability are paramount.
