OVERVIEW

Maximize Efficiency with the ESAB 19160 Gouging Tip

When your project calls for heavy-duty metal removal, the ESAB 19160 Gouging Tip is the performance upgrade your PT-121 torch needs. Designed for professional welders and fabricators, this 150-amp tip transforms your plasma system from a cutter into a powerful gouging tool. Whether you are back-gouging a root pass, removing a defective weld, or preparing a plate edge for fabrication, this genuine ESAB part delivers the control and power necessary to get the job done right the first time.

Plasma gouging is often preferred over carbon arc gouging because it is quieter, produces less smoke, and leaves a cleaner surface that often requires little to no secondary grinding. The ESAB 19160 is the heart of this process for PT-121 users. Its specific design creates a wider, softer arc that melts the base metal while the gas stream blows it away. This allows you to control the depth and width of the groove with precision, minimizing the risk of cutting all the way through the workpiece. Because it is an OEM part, you can trust that it fits perfectly with your existing torch retaining caps and swirl rings, preventing gas leaks and ensuring safe operation.

Durability is key in industrial environments, and ESAB has engineered this tip to withstand the intense heat of 150-amp operations. Cheap aftermarket alternatives often fail prematurely, leading to downtime and frustration. Investing in the genuine 19160 tip means longer consumable life, fewer change-outs, and better overall productivity. Keep your shop running smoothly and your gouges clean with this essential accessory for the PT-121 plasma torch. It is an indispensable tool for shipyards, heavy equipment repair, and structural steel fabrication.

FAQ

The ESAB 19160 gouging tip is designed specifically for the ESAB PT-121 plasma torch.

This tip is rated for 150 Amps.

While it creates a plasma arc, this tip is designed for gouging (removing metal from the surface) rather than severing (cutting through) the material. For cutting, use a standard cutting tip.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM consumable, part number 19160.

A gouging tip has a larger orifice designed to produce a wider, lower-velocity arc that melts surface metal for removal, whereas a cutting tip has a constricted orifice for a high-velocity stream to sever metal.

Replace the tip when the orifice becomes distorted, out of round, or if performance drops significantly. Regular inspection ensures the best gouging quality.

Yes, ensure you are using the correct shield cap and torch setup configured for gouging on the PT-121 to prevent damage.
