Keep Your PT-36 Torch Running Smoothly

If you are running an ESAB plasma table, you know that the PT-36 is a workhorse, but it relies on a lot of small parts working together to get that perfect cut. The ESAB 0004485802 Bushing Air Curtain is one of those small but mighty parts. Located in the air curtain assembly of your torch, this bushing helps hold everything in line. When you are cutting thick plate all day, the last thing you need is your air curtain rattling around or sitting crooked because a bushing is worn out or cracked.

The air curtain is what keeps the noise down and the smoke away from the plate. If this bushing fails, you might notice your air flow getting weird, or the shroud not sitting quite right. In worst-case scenarios, a bad fit-up can cause arc instability or let water and slag splash back where it shouldn't. Swapping out this bushing is a cheap insurance policy to keep your torch head tight and your cuts clean. It’s a genuine ESAB part, so you don't have to worry about filing it down to fit or wondering if it will melt the first time you pierce 1-inch steel.

We know that downtime kills profitability. You don't want to be waiting on a custom order for a simple plastic spacer while your table sits idle. Keeping a few of these 0004485802 bushings in your crib stock is a smart move for any shop running the m3 system. It ensures that when you do your regular torch rebuild or cleaning, you have fresh parts ready to go. Don't let a five-dollar problem turn into a five-thousand-dollar torch repair.

This part is designed to drop right in. No modifications needed. Just pull the old one, check your O-rings and other consumables while you're in there, pop this new bushing in, and get back to burning metal. It’s built to handle the heat and the grit of a real fab shop environment.
