OVERVIEW

Restore Your W-26 Torch with the ESAB 16Z56 Throat

When your heavy-duty welding or heating projects depend on the reliability of your Oxweld W-26 torch, you can't afford to compromise on replacement parts. The ESAB 16Z56 Throat Mixed Gas W-26 #150 is the exact replacement component you need to fix mixing issues and restore your torch's flame stability. Designed for professional welders who demand consistent performance, this mixer throat is the heart of your torch's gas blending system.

Symptoms of a worn mixer throat can include a fluttering flame, difficulty setting a neutral flame, or popping sounds during operation. These issues often stem from erosion or damage to the internal throat geometry, which disrupts the smooth flow and mixing of oxygen and fuel gas. The ESAB 16Z56 is precision-drilled to the #150 specification, ensuring it matches the flow requirements of your specific W-26 setup perfectly. Don't risk your weld quality or safety with ill-fitting generic parts; stick to the manufacturer's specifications.

Installation is straightforward for experienced equipment repair technicians. Once installed, this brass throat restores the proper Venturi action required to pull fuel gas into the mix efficiently. This results in a hotter, more concentrated flame that allows you to work faster and with greater precision. The durable brass construction resists oxidation and wear, providing a long service life even in demanding industrial environments.

Welders Supply is your source for hard-to-find repair parts for legacy and modern torch systems. We understand that keeping your equipment operational is key to your profitability. The ESAB 16Z56 Throat is a small but essential part of your toolkit, ensuring that your W-26 torch remains a workhorse in your shop. Order today and get your equipment back to factory specifications.

FAQ

The throat is a component of the torch's mixer or injector assembly. It creates the necessary restriction and flow path to mix oxygen and fuel gas properly via the Venturi effect.

This part is specifically designed for the Oxweld/ESAB W-26 series torches.

The #150 refers to the drill size or flow capacity rating of the throat, ensuring it matches the specific gas flow requirements of the torch setup.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM part manufactured by ESAB (formerly under the Oxweld brand).

This throat is labeled for 'Mixed Gas' applications within the W-26 system. Always consult your torch manual to ensure compatibility with your specific fuel gas (e.g., acetylene vs. alternate fuels).

Signs of wear include an unstable flame, flashbacks, popping noises, or an inability to adjust the flame to a neutral setting.

It is machined from high-quality brass for durability and resistance to heat and corrosion.

Typically, the throat is sold as a standalone metal component. O-rings or seals usually need to be ordered separately if required for your specific assembly.
