36572 - ESAB PT-26 300A Plasma Gouging Nozzle (5-Pack)

Technical Overview of ESAB 36572 Gouging Nozzle

The ESAB 36572 is a specialized gouging nozzle engineered for use with the heavy-duty PT-26 plasma torch system. Designed to handle high-current applications, this consumable is rated for 300 Amperes, making it suitable for aggressive metal removal and joint preparation in industrial environments. The nozzle features a widened orifice geometry specifically calculated to spread the plasma arc, transforming a cutting stream into a broad gouging wash that effectively melts and blows away base material without severing it completely.

Manufactured to strict OEM tolerances, the 36572 nozzle ensures proper gas flow dynamics and electrical conductivity, which are critical for maintaining arc stability at high amperages. The component is constructed from high-grade tellurium copper alloy to maximize thermal conductivity and extend service life under the extreme heat loads generated during 300A gouging operations. This product is supplied in a pack of five, facilitating inventory management for high-volume fabrication shops.

Compatibility is strictly limited to the ESAB PT-26 torch series. Users must ensure their power source and torch setup are configured for gouging mode, with appropriate gas pressures set to clear molten material effectively. The 36572 is an essential component for MRO operations requiring weld removal, crack repair, or back-gouging of heavy plate sections.
