OVERVIEW

Protect Your Equipment with Genuine ESAB Parts

The ESAB Waterflow Switch (0467118001) is a critical component designed to safeguard your water-cooled welding equipment. In high-amperage TIG and MIG welding applications, efficient cooling is paramount to prevent catastrophic failure of the torch and power cables. This switch acts as the primary safety interlock within your cooling unit, continuously monitoring the circulation of coolant.

When functioning correctly, the switch completes the control circuit only when adequate water flow is detected. If the pump fails, a line becomes blocked, or coolant levels drop critically low, this switch immediately signals the power source to cut the welding arc or inhibit initiation. This instantaneous response prevents the rapid overheating that can melt power cables and destroy expensive torch heads in seconds.

As a genuine ESAB replacement part, this component ensures perfect compatibility with specified ESAB cooling units (check your equipment manual for part number verification). Using OEM parts guarantees that the flow sensitivity and electrical ratings match the original engineering specifications of your machine, maintaining the reliability and safety standards expected from ESAB equipment. Whether you are performing preventative maintenance or repairing a breakdown, this switch is essential for the longevity of your water-cooled welding setup.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Precision Monitoring: Calibrated to detect flow interruptions immediately.
  • OEM Reliability: Designed specifically for ESAB cooling system architectures.
  • Cost Savings: Prevents expensive torch replacements caused by dry-running.

FAQ

It monitors the flow of coolant in your welding cooling unit. If flow drops below a safe level, it signals the machine to stop welding to prevent torch overheating.

Common signs include the welding machine displaying a water flow error code even when the pump is running and water is moving, or the machine refusing to arc start.

It is highly recommended NOT to bypass this switch. Doing so removes the safety protection for your water-cooled torch, leading to potential cable meltdown and torch destruction if flow actually stops.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring correct fit and specification for ESAB equipment.

This part fits specific ESAB cooling units. Please verify the part number 0467118001 in your equipment's spare parts list or service manual.

No, this is a flow switch, not a temperature sensor. It detects the movement of liquid, not the heat level.

Installation typically involves disconnecting the water lines and two electrical leads. It is a standard repair for maintenance personnel familiar with welding equipment.

If the switch is faulty and fails to detect a lack of flow, you could unknowingly weld without coolant, causing the power cable inside your torch to melt almost instantly.
