0558008615 - ESAB 24V AC Solenoid Valve 16 Bar Replacement

Precision Gas Control for Industrial Equipment

The ESAB 0558008615 is a high-performance 2-way solenoid valve engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of industrial welding and plasma cutting systems. As a critical component in the pneumatic or gas distribution subsystem of ESAB power sources, this valve manages the flow of shielding gas or compressed air with precision and reliability. The unit features a robust electromechanical design actuated by a 24V AC coil, a standard control voltage in many industrial machines, ensuring seamless integration with existing control logic boards.

Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 16 Bar (approximately 232 PSI), this solenoid valve is capable of handling high-pressure compressed air lines often used in plasma cutting for cooling and arc constriction, as well as standard shielding gas mixtures for MIG and TIG welding. The 2-way configuration provides simple on/off functionality, essential for pre-flow, post-flow, and active welding cycles. Its construction utilizes durable materials resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring a long service life even in harsh shop environments where dust and vibration are common.

Maintenance and repair professionals will appreciate the OEM specification of this component. Using genuine ESAB parts like the 0558008615 guarantees that flow rates, pressure drops, and electrical characteristics match the original engineering design of the equipment. This eliminates the guesswork associated with generic aftermarket valves that may have incompatible coil impedance or insufficient flow coefficients (Cv). Whether replacing a failed valve in a PowerCut plasma cutter or a heavy-duty welding power source, this unit restores factory-level performance and safety to the gas control system.

Installation should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with electrical and pneumatic safety protocols. The valve is designed for direct replacement, featuring standard port configurations that align with ESAB's internal piping and manifold systems. By maintaining the integrity of the gas delivery system with high-quality components, operators can ensure consistent arc stability, proper cooling, and defect-free welds or cuts.
