05K16 - ESAB 05K16 Replacement Mixed Gas Tube for CW-202

Genuine ESAB 05K16 Mixed Gas Tube for CW-202

The ESAB 05K16 is a specialized replacement component designed for the CW-202 welding system. Identified as a "Tube Mixed Gas," this part plays a critical role in the internal gas delivery architecture of the equipment. In gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), the consistent and laminar flow of shielding gas is paramount to achieving code-quality welds. This tube is engineered to transport mixed gases (such as Argon/CO2 blends) from the solenoid or input manifold to the torch connection point without leakage or contamination.

Manufactured to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, the 05K16 ensures exact dimensional compatibility with the CW-202 unit. Using non-OEM or generic tubing in specific welding machinery can often lead to fitment issues, kinked lines, or material incompatibility with certain shielding gases. This genuine ESAB part is constructed from durable materials selected for their resistance to the typical thermal and mechanical stresses found in industrial welding environments. It is designed to resist hardening and cracking over time, which are common failure modes for inferior gas lines.

Maintenance personnel and welding technicians understand that even a minor breach in the gas delivery system can introduce atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into the weld pool, resulting in immediate porosity and compromised mechanical properties. Replacing aged or damaged internal tubing with the correct ESAB 05K16 part is a preventative measure that safeguards the welding process. This component is supplied as a single unit, ready for installation into the existing routing channels of the CW-202 assembly.

Whether performing a scheduled overhaul or an emergency repair, utilizing the correct part number (05K16) ensures that the machine operates within its designed parameters. This tube is specifically validated for mixed gas applications, ensuring chemical stability and safety during operation.
