01Z21 - W-17 Oxy-Acetylene Injector Mixer

Restore Your W-17 Torch to Peak Efficiency

Keep your heavy-duty welding operations running smoothly with the ESAB 01Z21 Oxy-Acetylene Injector. This replacement part is essential for users of the classic W-17 welding torch, a staple in the industry for its durability and high-capacity performance. The injector plays a pivotal role in the functionality of the torch, acting as the mixing chamber where oxygen and acetylene combine before reaching the welding tip. A properly functioning injector is non-negotiable for achieving the heat concentration and flame stability required for professional welding.

The W-17 torch is often used in demanding environments such as shipyards, rail yards, and heavy fabrication shops. In these settings, equipment downtime is costly. If your torch is sputtering, popping, or failing to hold a neutral flame, a worn or damaged injector is often the culprit. The ESAB 01Z21 is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring that the venturi effect—where oxygen pulls the acetylene into the stream—works efficiently. This is particularly important for low-pressure fuel gas systems, although this specific model is tuned for standard oxy-acetylene setups.

Investing in genuine ESAB parts extends the lifecycle of your torch handle. Cheap imitations often lack the precision machining required for a gas-tight seal inside the torch body, which can lead to hazardous leaks. This brass injector is built to last, resisting the wear and tear of frequent nozzle changes and thermal cycling. By maintaining your W-17 with the correct 01Z21 injector, you ensure consistent performance, easier flame adjustment, and safer operation for the welder.
