OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Performance for Your W-17 Torch

Keep your trusty W-17 torch running like new with the ESAB W-17 Welding Head, Size #55. If you are running one of these legendary heavy-duty torches, you know they are built to last, but the tips and heads eventually wear out from heat and spatter. This replacement head is the direct fit you need to get back to laying down smooth, consistent welds without fighting a sputtering or wandering flame.

The Size #55 tip is designed to handle serious heat, making it perfect for structural work or thicker materials where a standard light-duty tip just won't cut it. Made from durable copper, it resists overheating and cleans up easily, giving you a long service life even in tough shop environments. Whether you are repairing farm equipment, working on a pipeline, or fabricating heavy steel, having a fresh welding head ensures your gas flow is optimized and your flame is focused.

Don't compromise your weld quality with worn-out consumables. This genuine ESAB part ensures safety and reliability, screwing right onto your existing W-17 handle with a perfect seal. It’s the simple, effective solution for welders who rely on their oxy-fuel gear to perform day in and day out.
