OVERVIEW

Restore Your Powder Cutting Performance

When you are tackling the toughest materials like stainless steel or cast iron, your powder cutting setup is your lifeline. The ESAB 16X36 Valve Powder ACV-4 is the genuine replacement part you need to keep that system running smoothly. Powder cutting relies on a steady, uninterrupted stream of iron powder to generate the extreme heat required to slice through oxidation-resistant metals. If your valve is sticking, leaking, or failing to regulate flow accurately, your cut quality suffers, and you waste valuable consumables. This ACV-4 valve is built to solve those problems instantly.

Built for the Toughest Jobs

We know that powder cutting often happens in the most demanding environments—scrap yards, foundries, and heavy fabrication shops. That is why ESAB constructs the 16X36 valve from high-quality industrial materials capable of resisting abrasion and corrosion. This isn't a generic knock-off; it is the specific OEM part designed for your Oxweld or ESAB powder dispenser. It fits perfectly, seals tightly, and operates with the smooth action you expect from professional-grade equipment. Don't risk your safety or your project timeline with inferior parts that might clog or fail under pressure.

Save Money and Time

Efficiency is the name of the game. A faulty valve can cause you to burn through iron powder faster than necessary, driving up the cost of every foot you cut. By installing a fresh ACV-4 valve, you regain precise control over the powder feed rate. This means you use exactly what you need—no more, no less. You get cleaner cuts with less slag to grind off later, and you spend less time fiddling with your equipment and more time getting the job done. It is a small investment that pays for itself in consumable savings and reduced frustration.

Easy Replacement

The ESAB 16X36 is designed for straightforward installation. It integrates seamlessly with your existing ACV-4 compatible hardware, minimizing downtime during repairs. Whether you are scarfing billets or cutting heavy scrap, having a reliable valve is non-negotiable. Keep a spare on the shelf or replace your worn-out unit today to ensure your torch is ready to perform when the sparks start flying. Trust ESAB's legacy of quality to keep your oxy-fuel operations safe, efficient, and productive.

FAQ

The ACV-4 valve is designed to regulate the flow of iron powder in powder cutting and scarfing equipment, ensuring the correct amount of powder is delivered to the torch flame.

This valve is used in systems designed to cut oxidation-resistant metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys, which cannot be cut with standard oxy-fuel processes.

Yes, the 16X36 is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by ESAB (often associated with the Oxweld brand) for their powder cutting equipment.

No, this valve is specifically for the powder feed line. Standard oxy-fuel cutting does not require iron powder injection.

Signs of wear include inconsistent powder flow, inability to completely shut off the powder, sticking controls, or visible physical damage to the valve body.

It is compatible with ESAB and Oxweld powder dispensers and cutting attachments that utilize the ACV-4 valve assembly standard.

No, the 16X36 is only the valve assembly. The powder dispenser tank and other accessories are sold separately.

Iron powder burns in the oxygen stream to create intense heat and a fluxing action that removes the refractory oxides formed by metals like stainless steel, allowing the oxygen jet to penetrate and cut the material.
