598885 - ESAB ST-16 Replacement Torch Body

Restore Your Torch with the ESAB ST-16 Body Replacement

If your trusty ESAB ST-16 torch has seen better days, the ESAB 598885 Body is exactly what you need to get it back in fighting shape. We all know that the torch body takes a beating—dropped on concrete, dragged across steel, and exposed to spatter and heat day in and day out. Eventually, cracks happen, threads wear out, or the insulation just gives up. Instead of scrapping the whole rig, swapping out the damaged body with this genuine ESAB replacement is a smart, cost-effective way to keep your gear running smoothly.

This isn't just a piece of plastic; it's the backbone of your torch. The 598885 is built tough to handle the heat and abuse of a real shop environment. Because it's an official ESAB part, you don't have to worry about it not fitting right or rattling around. It lines up perfectly with your existing cable connections and neck, so you can swap it out and get back to laying beads in no time. A solid torch body is crucial for a comfortable grip and, more importantly, for keeping the electrical current and shielding gas where they belong—inside the torch, not leaking out.

Don't let a cracked handle or worn-out housing slow you down. A compromised torch body can be a safety hazard and a frustration to use. By installing the 598885, you restore the balance and feel of your ST-16, making it feel like new again. It’s a simple repair that makes a big difference in your daily welding comfort and control.

Keep a spare in your toolbox or order one to fix that taped-up torch you've been nursing along. With the ESAB 598885, you're investing in the longevity of your tools and ensuring that your equipment is ready to work as hard as you do. Get the right part, fix it right, and get back to the job.
