996342 - ESAB PT-15 Plasma Torch Insulator Clamp

Keep Your PT-15 Torch Running Smoothly

When your plasma table is down, you're losing money. The ESAB 996342 Insulator Clamp is the exact replacement part you need to get your PT-15 plasma torch back in action. Over time, the intense heat and high voltage inside your torch can take a toll on plastic and composite parts. If you are noticing arc instability, misaligned consumables, or visible cracks and burns on your current clamp during routine consumable changes, it is time to swap it out.

This isn't just a spacer; it's the backbone of your torch's internal assembly. It holds everything tight and keeps the electricity flowing to the arc, not arcing out against the torch walls. Using a genuine ESAB replacement guarantees that everything fits exactly as it should—no forcing, no leaks, and no loose parts. A fresh insulator clamp helps prevent those frustrating mid-cut failures and protects the expensive brass and copper components of your torch head from short-circuit damage.

Installation is straightforward during your standard torch rebuild or maintenance cycle. Simply remove the worn component and seat the new 996342 clamp in its place. It’s a small investment that protects your equipment and ensures your cuts remain clean, straight, and professional. Keep a spare in your maintenance kit so you never have to wait on shipping when a deadline is looming.
