35453 - ESAB 12.5ft Zippered Cable Cover

Product Overview

The ESAB 35453 Cable Jacket is a specialized protective accessory designed to extend the service life of welding cable assemblies. Measuring 12.5 feet in length, this jacket is engineered to cover standard TIG torch leads or MIG gun cables, providing a robust barrier against the physical and thermal hazards common in industrial environments. The primary function of this jacket is to shield power cables, gas hoses, and water lines from abrasion caused by dragging across concrete floors, as well as protection from incidental contact with hot metal surfaces and minor spatter.

Technical Features

A key feature of this model is its zippered closure system. Unlike tubular slide-on covers that require the disconnection of the torch from the machine for installation, the zippered design allows the jacket to be wrapped around an existing cable assembly and secured in place. This design significantly reduces downtime during installation or replacement. The material construction is selected for flexibility and durability, ensuring that the addition of the jacket does not compromise the welder's ability to maneuver the torch effectively. By bundling multiple lines (power, gas, water) into a single cohesive unit, the jacket also serves an organizational role, reducing the likelihood of snagging on shop equipment.

Applications

This cable jacket is suitable for use with any 12.5-foot welding torch assembly, including air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches and light-to-medium duty MIG guns. It is an essential component for maintaining equipment integrity in fabrication shops, automotive repair facilities, and manufacturing plants where cable wear is a frequent cause of equipment failure.
