20860 - ESAB PT-31 30/40A Cutting Nozzle (5-Pack)

Optimize Your Plasma Cutting with ESAB 20860 Nozzles

The ESAB 20860 30/40A Hi-Pro Nozzle is a critical component for maintaining the efficiency and precision of your plasma cutting operations. Designed specifically for the widely used PT-31 and PT-31XL series torches, these nozzles are engineered to handle amperage ranges between 30 and 40 amps. This specific amperage rating makes them ideal for light to medium-duty fabrication tasks, automotive repair, and HVAC ductwork cutting. As a genuine ESAB part, this nozzle ensures that your equipment operates within its specified parameters, protecting the torch head from excessive heat and wear.

Plasma cutting relies on the constriction of the electrical arc to generate the intense heat required to sever metal. The nozzle plays the primary role in this constriction. Over time, the orifice of the nozzle can become worn, out-of-round, or covered in spatter, which leads to a wider kerf, excessive dross, and an unstable arc. By replacing your nozzle regularly with the ESAB 20860, you ensure a focused, high-velocity plasma stream that delivers clean, smooth cuts with minimal post-weld cleanup required. This pack contains five nozzles, providing a convenient supply to keep your production line moving without interruption.

These nozzles are compatible with a variety of ESAB power sources that utilize the PT-31 torch platform, including older PCM series machines and HandyPlasma units. The copper construction is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect alignment with the electrode and swirl ring. This alignment is crucial for preventing internal arcing (double arcing) which can destroy the torch head. Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, using fresh, high-quality consumables like the ESAB 20860 is the best way to guarantee professional results.

Key Benefits of Genuine ESAB Consumables

Using OEM parts like the 20860 nozzle extends the life of your entire torch assembly. Generic or ill-fitting consumables can cause gas leaks, poor arc initiation, and overheating. ESAB's manufacturing process ensures that every nozzle in this 5-pack meets strict quality control standards, offering consistent performance from the first cut to the last. Keep your shop stocked with this essential consumable to minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
