OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB Protection for PT-600 Torches

Maximize the performance and lifespan of your industrial plasma cutting system with the ESAB Shield .160 (4mm) for PT-600. This essential consumable is engineered to fit the heavy-duty PT-600 plasma torch, providing a critical barrier between the workpiece and the delicate nozzle assembly. By effectively shielding the inner components from molten metal spatter and intense heat, this cap ensures consistent arc stability and prolongs the life of your other consumables.

The 0558004678 shield features a precision-bored .160-inch (4mm) orifice, designed to shape the shield gas flow around the plasma arc. This gas curtain not only cools the nozzle but also assists in constricting the arc for cleaner, more precise cuts on thicker materials. Using genuine ESAB parts guarantees that tolerances are maintained, preventing issues such as double arcing or poor cut angularity often associated with aftermarket replacements.

Supplied in a pack of 5, these shields are a must-have for high-volume fabrication environments. Regular inspection and replacement of the shield cap are vital for maintaining cut quality; a damaged or clogged shield can disrupt gas flow and lead to rapid nozzle failure. Keep your automated cutting lines running smoothly with these OEM replacements from Josef Gas.
