0700300633 - ESAB TXH 251w Water-Cooled Flex TIG Torch, 4m, OKC50

Industrial-Grade Precision with the ESAB TXH 251w

The ESAB TXH 251w TIG Torch is engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and heavy-duty manufacturing. Designed with the professional welder in mind, this torch combines high-performance power delivery with ergonomic features that enhance operational efficiency. The 'w' designation indicates a water-cooled system, which is essential for maintaining a 100% duty cycle at 250 Amps DC (175 Amps AC). This thermal management capability ensures that the torch remains cool even during prolonged welding sessions, protecting both the internal components and the operator from excessive heat buildup.

One of the standout technical features of this specific model (SKU 0700300633) is the flexible head ('F'). In complex piping or structural assemblies, fixed-head torches often fail to provide the necessary angle of attack, leading to compromised weld quality or operator strain. The flexible neck on the TXH 251w allows the operator to bend the torch head to the exact angle required, ensuring optimal tungsten positioning and gas coverage in restricted access areas. This flexibility significantly reduces the need for awkward body positioning, thereby improving safety and weld consistency.

The torch comes equipped with a 4-meter (approximately 13 feet) cable assembly, terminating in an OKC 50 connection. The OKC 50 is a standard Dinse-style connector, widely used across various power sources, ensuring broad compatibility with ESAB machines and other industrial TIG welders equipped with similar receptacles. The cable assembly is sheathed in durable materials designed to withstand the abrasion and incidental contact common in workshop environments. Furthermore, the 'R' designation in the model name suggests compatibility with remote control modules or an ergonomic handle design that accommodates fingertip controls, allowing for precise amperage adjustment directly from the torch (depending on the specific remote module installed).

Maintenance and consumable management are streamlined with the TXH series. ESAB utilizes high-quality copper components and efficient gas lens designs to maximize gas flow laminarity and tungsten life. For industrial procurement managers and welding engineers, the ESAB TXH 251w represents a reliable investment in productivity, offering a balance of power, durability, and adaptability that is difficult to match in its class.
