OVERVIEW

High-Performance Protection for PT-19XLS Torches

The ESAB 21802 Shield Cup is a critical consumable component designed exclusively for the PT-19XLS plasma cutting torch. Engineered to handle the rigorous demands of high-amperage mechanized cutting, this shield is rated for operation between 100 and 250 Amps. In industrial plasma systems, the shield cup plays a dual role: it physically protects the inner nozzle from molten metal spatter (blowback) during piercing and cutting, and it electrically isolates the nozzle to prevent double arcing, which can catastrophically damage the torch head. Furthermore, the geometry of the 21802 shield assists in shaping the secondary gas flow, cooling the nozzle and constricting the arc for cleaner, straighter cuts.

This product is supplied as a package of five, allowing facility managers and operators to maintain adequate stock levels for continuous production. The PT-19XLS torch is often utilized in heavy fabrication environments where downtime translates directly to lost revenue. By using genuine ESAB consumables like the 21802, users ensure that their equipment operates within factory specifications. Generic or ill-fitting shields can lead to poor gas dynamics, reduced consumable life, and inferior cut edge quality. These shields are manufactured with high-grade materials capable of withstanding the intense thermal cycling inherent in plasma cutting processes ranging up to 250 Amps.

Installation is straightforward, threading securely onto the torch retaining body. Regular inspection of the shield cup is recommended; if the orifice becomes clogged with dross or the face is pitted, it should be replaced immediately to maintain cut quality. This specific part number corresponds to the standard shielding configuration for the specified amperage range, making it a staple inventory item for any shop running PT-19XLS equipment.

FAQ

The ESAB 21802 shield is designed specifically for the PT-19XLS plasma cutting torch.

This shield is rated for use in cutting applications ranging from 100 Amps to 250 Amps.

This product is sold as a package of 5 shields.

The shield cup protects the inner nozzle from molten spatter and directs the flow of the secondary shield gas, which cools the torch and assists in arc constriction.

This specific part number is typically designed for standard cutting. Check your torch manual for specific gouging shield part numbers if gouging is required.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB product, ensuring correct fit and performance specifications for your equipment.

Replace the shield cup when the orifice becomes damaged, out of round, or clogged with spatter that cannot be removed, as this affects gas flow and cut quality.

It is specified for the PT-19XLS. While some PT series parts overlap, always verify with your specific torch breakdown to ensure compatibility with older PT-19 models.
