If you are running an ESAB PSF 405 or PSF 505 gun, you know that the front-end parts take a beating. The ESAB 2218717 Nozzle Socket is the specific part you need when your gas nozzle just won't stay tight anymore or if the threads have been cross-threaded during a rush job. This socket acts as the seat for your nozzle, and when it's in good condition, it ensures your nozzle is perfectly centered and electrically isolated where it needs to be.
There is nothing more frustrating than a wobbly nozzle or erratic gas coverage causing porosity in your welds. Often, the culprit isn't the nozzle itself, but the socket it screws onto. Over time, heat and spatter can degrade the threads and the seating surface. By swapping out the old socket for this brand-new genuine ESAB 2218717, you bring your torch back to factory specs. It installs easily onto the torch neck, giving you a fresh, solid connection point for your consumables.
Don't struggle with makeshift fixes or poor-fitting generic parts that can overheat or fuse to your nozzle. This part is built to handle the heat of the PSF 405 and 505, meaning you can weld longer and smoother. Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or doing precision production work, having a reliable front end on your MIG gun is essential for arc stability and clean welds. Keep a spare in your toolbox so you aren't caught off guard in the middle of a shift.
