0700300562 - ESAB TXH 251w Flex Water Cooled TIG Torch 4m OKC50

Premium Ergonomics and Performance

The ESAB TXH 251w Flex TIG Torch is a high-performance welding instrument engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. Designed with a focus on welder comfort and operational efficiency, the TXH series represents the pinnacle of TIG torch ergonomics. This specific model, the TXH 251w, utilizes a robust water-cooling system capable of handling high amperages—rated at 250 Amps at 100% duty cycle—ensuring the torch remains cool to the touch even during prolonged, heavy-duty welding sessions. The inclusion of a flexible neck ("Flex") distinguishes this model as a versatile tool for fabricators who frequently encounter hard-to-reach joints, complex pipe geometries, or obstructed angles where a rigid torch simply cannot perform.

The torch assembly features a 4-meter (approximately 13-foot) cable, providing a practical balance of reach and manageability for standard workbench setups and fabrication cells. The termination is a standard OKC 50 connector (50mm² Dinse style), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of modern power sources from ESAB and other manufacturers adhering to European standards. This universal connectivity allows shops to upgrade their torch systems without necessarily replacing their power sources.

One of the defining characteristics of the TXH line is its handle design. It is not merely a tube but a contoured interface that significantly reduces the grip force required to maneuver the torch. This reduction in static muscle load helps minimize operator fatigue and the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI). A specialized ball joint at the base of the handle affords exceptional freedom of movement, preventing the cable from dragging or twisting the torch out of the welder's hand during intricate maneuvers. Furthermore, the internal design ensures efficient cooling passages extend to the very tip of the torch, protecting consumables from overheating and ensuring stable arc starts and consistent weld bead profiles across aluminum, stainless steel, and exotic alloys.
