0558012361 - ESAB 2-Way Solenoid Valve 24VAC 175PSI Replacement Part

Precision Gas Control for Industrial Equipment

The ESAB 0558012361 is a high-performance 2-way solenoid valve designed to manage the flow of gases and fluids within industrial welding and cutting systems. Engineered to meet the exacting standards of ESAB equipment, this component is critical for the precise delivery of shielding gas or compressed air, ensuring optimal process quality and equipment safety.

Featuring a 24VAC coil, this solenoid integrates seamlessly into standard control circuits found in many power sources and plasma cutters. The 24-volt alternating current specification is a common standard for safety and efficiency in industrial machinery control logic. The valve is rated for a maximum pressure of 175 PSI, providing ample headroom for standard shop air supplies and high-pressure shielding gas cylinders regulated for welding applications.

As a 2-way valve, it operates with a single inlet and a single outlet, functioning as a binary on/off switch for the fluid medium. When the coil is energized by the machine's control board, the valve opens to allow flow; when de-energized, it closes to stop flow immediately. This rapid response is essential for processes like pre-flow and post-flow in TIG welding or air cooling in plasma cutting. Using genuine OEM parts like the 0558012361 ensures that the flow coefficients, seal materials, and electrical characteristics match the original engineering requirements of your machine.

Reliability is paramount in MRO applications. A failing solenoid can lead to porosity in welds due to lack of gas coverage or torch overheating due to lack of cooling air. Replacing a worn or sticking valve with this genuine ESAB unit restores the integrity of your system, preventing costly rework and downtime. Its robust construction is built to resist the vibration and thermal fluctuations typical of a welding environment.
