Keep Your PT-251 Cutting Strong with the ESAB 16978 Collet

Maintain the cutting power and precision of your ESAB plasma cutter with the genuine ESAB 16978 Collet. Designed exclusively for the robust PT-251 plasma torch, this 5/32-inch collet is the heart of your torch's consumable stack. It ensures that your electrode is gripped firmly and positioned accurately, which is the secret to achieving smooth, dross-free cuts on heavy plate and structural materials.

By choosing this OEM replacement, you are investing in the longevity of your torch and the quality of your work. It is an essential spare part to keep in your inventory to avoid unexpected work stoppages.

Installation is straightforward, fitting seamlessly into the PT-251 assembly. The high-quality copper construction resists deformation under heat, ensuring that gas flow remains unobstructed and the arc stays focused. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a heavy fabrication shop, or an industrial repair facility, the ESAB 16978 Collet delivers the reliability professional welders and fabricators trust.
