54B038 - Surfox 90 Degree Mini Wand Insert

Precision Cleaning for Hard-to-Reach Welds

The Walter 54B038 Narrow Insert-90 Deg/Mini is an essential accessory for professionals utilizing the Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning system. Designed to bridge the gap between the cleaning wand and the workpiece, this insert is specifically engineered to tackle the most challenging geometries found in metal fabrication. When working with stainless steel, maintaining the integrity of the passive layer is paramount, and the Surfox system achieves this through electrochemical cleaning. However, standard straight inserts often fail to provide adequate contact in tight corners, inside pipe flanges, or around complex fixtures. This is where the 54B038 excels.

Featuring a distinct 90-degree angle, this "Mini" insert allows the operator to maneuver the cleaning pad into confined spaces without contorting their wrist or the machine's cabling. This ergonomic advantage not only improves comfort during extended use but also ensures that the cleaning pad maintains flat, consistent contact with the weld seam. Consistent contact is critical for the electrochemical process, as it prevents arcing and ensures even removal of heat tint and burn marks. The insert is crafted from exceptionally conductive materials, ensuring that the electrical current from the Surfox machine is transferred efficiently to the electrolyte and the workpiece, maximizing cleaning speed.

Durability is a key focus of the Walter brand, and this insert is built to withstand the harsh environment of weld cleaning. It resists corrosion from the acidic electrolytes used in the process and handles the heat generated during cleaning. It is fully compatible with popular cleaning pad models like the 54-B 028 and 54-B 041, as well as the 54-B 020 clamp ring and 54-B 007 boot. By integrating this insert into your toolkit, you ensure that no weld is out of reach, maintaining high aesthetic and corrosion-resistance standards on all your stainless steel projects.
