OVERVIEW

The All-in-One Solution for Aluminum Setup

Setting up your MIG torch for aluminum welding can be a hassle if you don't have the right parts on hand. The ESAB RT 72G/W Consumable Start Kit takes the headache out of the equation by providing everything you need in one convenient package. Designed specifically for the ESAB RT 72 series torches, this kit is tuned for running 1.2mm aluminum wire. We all know that aluminum is tricky; it's soft, it kinks easily, and it expands faster than steel when it gets hot. Using standard steel consumables just won't cut it and will lead to frustrating burn-backs and bird-nests at the drive rolls.

Inside this kit, you'll find contact tips that are slightly oversized to accommodate the expansion of hot aluminum wire, preventing the wire from seizing inside the tip. You also get a dedicated low-friction liner that allows the soft wire to glide smoothly through the torch cable without dragging or shaving. The included gas nozzle and diffuser are designed to provide smooth laminar flow of Argon or Argon-Helium mixes, ensuring your weld pool stays bright and clean without porosity. Whether you are setting up a new robot cell or just doing a routine maintenance swap, this kit ensures you have matched components that work together perfectly.

Stop wasting time hunting through bins for compatible parts. With the ESAB 0459990638 Start Kit, you can swap out your front-end consumables with confidence, knowing that every piece is genuine ESAB quality. This means fewer stoppages for tip changes, better arc starts, and a smoother welding experience overall. It is the ideal support pack for any welder or operator responsible for maintaining ESAB RT 72G (Gas) or RT 72W (Water) robotic torches in an aluminum production environment.

FAQ

This kit is designed for ESAB RT 72G (Gas-cooled) and RT 72W (Water-cooled) robotic torches.

It is optimized for 1.2mm (approximately 0.047 inch) welding wire.

While the nozzle and diffuser might fit, the contact tips and liners in this kit are specifically designed for aluminum. Using them for steel may result in poor contact or premature wear.

Yes, it typically includes a low-friction liner suitable for feeding soft aluminum wire.

Aluminum expands more than steel when heated. Aluminum-specific tips have slightly larger bore tolerances to prevent the wire from seizing inside the tip during welding.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB consumable kit, ensuring full compatibility and performance with ESAB equipment.

A start kit provides all the necessary front-end consumables in one package, ensuring all parts are compatible and ready for immediate setup.
