OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB PT-15 Centering Sleeve for Precision Plasma Cutting

The ESAB PT-15 Centering Sleeve (Part Number 996618) is a critical component designed exclusively for the heavy-duty PT-15 plasma cutting torch. In the high-stakes world of industrial metal fabrication, the precision of your equipment dictates the quality of your cut. This centering sleeve plays a pivotal role in maintaining the concentricity of the electrode and nozzle within the torch head. By ensuring these consumables are perfectly aligned, the sleeve facilitates a stable, focused plasma arc, which is essential for achieving clean, dross-free cuts on various metal thicknesses.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting OEM standards, this replacement part guarantees a perfect fit and seamless integration with your existing PT-15 setup. Using non-genuine or worn-out centering sleeves can lead to misalignment, resulting in poor cut quality, accelerated consumable wear, and potential damage to the torch head itself. The 996618 sleeve is engineered from high-grade materials capable of withstanding the thermal stresses and demanding environment of mechanized plasma cutting operations. It acts as a guide, ensuring that the cooling water and gas flow channels remain unobstructed and properly directed, contributing to the overall longevity of your torch.

Whether you are operating a PCM-150 power source or another compatible ESAB system utilizing the PT-15 torch, maintaining your equipment with genuine parts is the best way to ensure uptime and reliability. This centering sleeve is easy to install during routine consumable changes, making it a vital spare part to keep in your inventory. Trust in the quality of ESAB engineering to keep your production lines moving efficiently and your cuts precise.
