0700003221 - ESAB TM-80 Fume Extraction Nozzle, 500mm Length, 80mm Diameter

ESAB TM-80 Fume Extraction Nozzle (0700003221)

The ESAB TM-80 Nozzle is a specialized component designed for use with industrial welding fume extraction systems. Identified by the SKU 0700003221, this nozzle is engineered to provide efficient capture of welding fumes at the source, a critical requirement for maintaining regulatory compliance and workplace safety. The unit features a specific geometry with a diameter of 80 mm and a length of 500 mm, making it suitable for applications where a moderate intake size and extended reach are necessary to access the weld zone without obstructing the operator's view or movement.

Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous standards for industrial equipment, the TM-80 nozzle is typically utilized in conjunction with flexible extraction arms or portable filtration units that utilize 80 mm hose connections. The 500 mm length is particularly advantageous for positioning the intake close to the arc, ensuring that thermal plumes containing metal oxides and gases are captured before they disperse into the ambient atmosphere. This targeted approach is the most effective method for controlling welding fumes, as opposed to general ventilation.

From a technical maintenance perspective, the nozzle represents a replaceable end-effector for the extraction assembly. Over time, nozzles can accumulate spatter or particulate buildup, affecting airflow dynamics. The TM-80 is designed for durability, but regular inspection is recommended to ensure the intake remains clear and the connection to the hose remains airtight. This component is essential for facilities prioritizing source-capture methodologies in their air quality management plans.

Integration of the TM-80 into existing ESAB extraction setups is straightforward, assuming the mating hose or arm diameter matches the 80 mm specification. Its metallic or high-grade composite construction (depending on the specific revision of the TM-80 series) ensures resistance to the radiant heat generated during standard welding processes. This nozzle is an integral part of the safety ecosystem for professional welders.
