0700300485 - ESAB RT 62W Straight Torch Neck Replacement

Practical Benefits for the Professional Welder

If you are running an ESAB RT 62W water-cooled gun, you know it's a workhorse designed for serious heat and heavy wire. But sometimes, the standard curved neck just gets in the way. Maybe you are trying to reach down into a pipe, weld a bracket inside a tight box section, or you have a jig that blocks a standard angled approach. That is exactly where the ESAB 0700300485 0-degree torch neck comes into play. It converts your standard gun into a straight-shooter, giving you the reach and angle you need for those impossible-to-access joints without sacrificing the cooling power you rely on.

Swapping out the neck is part of the versatility of the RT series. This straight neck locks in solid, connecting your water lines and power without fuss. Because it is water-cooled, it stays comfortable to work around even when you are pushing high amps for long beads. You won't have to worry about the neck getting soft or the consumables burning up prematurely, which is a common issue with air-cooled straight necks in heavy applications. The straight design also offers a different feel for manipulation; for some vertical-down or overhead welds, a straight neck can actually offer better visibility and wrist ergonomics depending on your position.

Durability is key in the shop, and this ESAB part is built to take a beating. The insulation is tough, resisting spatter adhesion and impact drops. The gas flow is smooth, so you don't get porosity just because you changed the neck angle. It uses the same standard consumables you already stock for your RT 62W, so you don't need to buy special tips or nozzles just to use the straight neck. It’s a specialized tool, sure, but when you need it, nothing else will do the job. Keeping one of these in the crib ensures that when a weird angle comes across your table, you aren't stuck trying to bend your wrist into a pretzel—you just swap the neck and get to welding.

Whether you are in a shipyard, a heavy equipment repair shop, or a custom fab bay, having the option to go straight with your water-cooled gun adds a layer of capability to your rig. It turns a standard MIG setup into a versatile tool capable of reaching the deepest corners of your workpiece.
