173P101001 - ESAB 9W Water-Cooled MIG Torch Swan Neck - 50 Degree

Restore Your Torch Performance with the ESAB Neck 9W L 50 Degree

Keep your welding operations running smoothly with the ESAB Neck 9W L 50 Degree (173P101001). This replacement swan neck is an essential spare part for welders using compatible ESAB water-cooled MIG guns. The "neck" of the welding gun is the business end that directs the wire and shielding gas into the weld pool, and it endures the most heat and physical stress. When your existing neck becomes bent, clogged, or worn out, it can lead to poor wire feeding, gas turbulence, and frustration. Swapping it out for a brand-new factory replacement is a quick fix that brings your equipment back to peak performance.

The 50-degree angle of this neck is designed to provide excellent ergonomics. It allows the welder to maintain a comfortable hand position while accessing joints that might be awkward with a straighter or more severely angled neck. This can reduce wrist strain during long shifts and improve overall control over the weld puddle. Furthermore, the "W" designation indicates that this is a water-cooled component. Water-cooled necks are vital for high-amperage welding, as they actively remove heat from the front end of the torch. This active cooling prevents the neck from softening under extreme heat and helps keep consumables like contact tips and gas nozzles lasting longer.

Why choose genuine ESAB parts? Fit and safety. The 173P101001 is manufactured to exact tolerances to ensure a leak-free connection with your torch body. In water-cooled systems, a poor seal can be disastrous, leading to coolant leaks that can ruin a weld or damage the machine. With this genuine ESAB part, you get the peace of mind that comes with OEM quality. It is built to handle the rigors of the shop floor, resisting impact and heat deformation.

Don't let a worn-out torch neck slow you down. Invest in the ESAB Neck 9W L 50 Degree to ensure your arc stays stable, your gas coverage remains consistent, and your welding gun operates as cool as possible. It is an ideal stock item for maintenance departments and serious fabricators who cannot afford downtime.
