2118701 - ESAB 85A Replacement Nozzle for PT-32EH Torch

Precision Engineered 85A Nozzle for PT-32EH Torches

The ESAB 2118701 is a high-performance 85 Amp plasma cutting nozzle designed exclusively for the PT-32EH plasma torch, commonly utilized with the PowerCut 1300 and PowerCut 1600 plasma cutting systems. As a critical component in the plasma arc generation process, this nozzle is engineered to constrict the gas stream and focus the plasma arc energy density, enabling high-speed, high-quality cuts on conductive metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Manufactured to strict OEM tolerances, the 2118701 nozzle features a precision-drilled orifice that ensures a symmetrical arc column. This symmetry is vital for maintaining a square cut face and minimizing the heat-affected zone (HAZ). Over time, the high-velocity plasma stream and intense heat will erode the nozzle orifice, leading to a widened or non-circular opening. This degradation results in a loss of arc constriction, reduced cutting speed, and increased bevel angles. Replacing the nozzle at the first sign of cut quality deterioration is essential for maintaining the efficiency of the PowerCut system.

The nozzle is constructed from a conductive copper alloy that provides excellent thermal conductivity, rapidly dissipating the heat generated during the cutting process to the torch body and cooling air. This thermal management extends the service life of the consumable even under high duty-cycle applications at 85 Amps. It is designed to work in conjunction with the specific swirl ring and electrode of the PT-32EH torch to create the optimal vortex gas flow required for arc stability.
