2062355 - ESAB 120V AC Gas Solenoid Valve 1/4-Inch 2-Way NC

Technical Overview of the ESAB 2062355 Solenoid Valve

The ESAB 2062355 is a high-quality electromechanical solenoid valve designed for the precise control of fluid and gas flow within industrial equipment. Specifically engineered for welding applications, this valve operates on a 120V AC coil, making it compatible with standard North American auxiliary power circuits found in many heavy-duty power sources. The unit features a 2-Way Normally Closed (NC) configuration, meaning the valve remains shut to block flow until the coil is energized, a critical fail-safe for shielding gas systems.

Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous OEM standards, this valve ensures consistent performance and longevity. It is equipped with 1/4-inch ports, a standard size for many gas hoses and fittings used in MIG and TIG setups. The valve is rated for gas service (GS), making it suitable for inert gases such as Argon, CO2, and Helium mixtures used in arc welding. Proper functioning of the solenoid is essential for maintaining the integrity of the weld pool; a failing valve can lead to erratic gas coverage, porosity, and oxidation.

Installation of the 2062355 is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with welding machine repair. The electrical connections are designed to interface seamlessly with existing machine wiring harnesses. By using genuine ESAB parts, operators ensure that the flow characteristics and pressure ratings match the original engineering specifications of the welding power source, preventing downstream issues with regulators or flowmeters.
