2228184 - ESAB PM-359 MIG Gas Nozzle, 1/2-Inch Bore

Get Better Gas Coverage with the ESAB PM-359 Nozzle

If you are running an ESAB or L-Tec MIG gun and noticing porosity in your welds or excessive spatter buildup on your front-end parts, it might be time to swap out your nozzle. The ESAB PM-359 (Part #2228184) is a heavy-duty gas nozzle designed to keep your shielding gas flowing smoothly and your welds looking clean. With a 1/2-inch (0.50") bore, this nozzle is the "goldilocks" size for most shop applications—large enough to provide a wide blanket of gas for good coverage, but narrow enough to let you see the puddle and get into corners.

We know that in a busy shop, nozzles take a beating. They get hammered to remove spatter, overheated during long welds, and dropped on the concrete. That’s why ESAB builds the PM-359 out of durable copper alloy. It resists spatter adhesion better than cheaper alternatives and handles the heat without deforming quickly. A fresh nozzle ensures that your shielding gas exits the gun in a smooth column, protecting your molten pool from oxygen and nitrogen that cause weak, hole-filled welds.

This nozzle is a direct fit for guns requiring the PM-359 style. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, having a clean, unblocked nozzle is the first step to a quality bead. The 1/2-inch opening is particularly great for short-circuit MIG and spray transfer on medium-thickness materials. Don't let a clogged or battered nozzle ruin your work; keep a few of these 2228184 nozzles in your toolbox to ensure you are always ready to lay down perfect beads.

Why Welders Choose This Nozzle:

• Perfect Fit: Designed specifically for your ESAB/L-Tec gear, ensuring no gas leaks at the seat.
• Clean Welds: The 1/2" bore provides the right amount of gas coverage for standard wire sizes like .030" and .035".
• Durable: Tough copper construction stands up to heat and daily abuse.
• Less Downtime: Smooth finish makes spatter removal easier, keeping you welding longer between cleanings.
