OVERVIEW

Get Your PT-251 Back in the Fight

If your trusty ESAB PT-251 plasma torch is sputtering, leaking air, or just not cutting like it used to, the problem might not be your consumables—it could be the torch body itself. The ESAB 948155 Torch Body Assembly is the genuine replacement heart for your PT-251, featuring the standard 70-degree angle that you are used to for comfortable all-day cutting.

Over time, the threads where you screw in your electrode and nozzle can get stripped or worn out from constant changes. The seating surfaces can get pitted from arcing, causing air leaks that ruin your cut quality and eat up consumables faster than you can buy them. Swapping out a damaged head for this brand-new OEM assembly is one of the smartest investments you can make to keep your machine running efficiently. It’s built tough to handle the heat and abuse of the shop floor, ensuring that your arc starts crisp and stays stable.

Don't risk your safety or your machine's electronics with cheap knock-offs or by trying to tape up a cracked torch. This assembly is ready to install, helping you minimize downtime and get back to fabrication. Whether you are gouging thick plate or doing precision cuts, a fresh torch body gives you the control and reliability you need to produce professional results.

  • Restore Performance: Fixes issues related to gas leaks and poor electrical contact.
  • Standard Fit: 70-degree angle matches your original setup perfectly.
  • Built Tough: Genuine ESAB quality means it lasts longer in harsh environments.
