996242 - ESAB PT-15 Plasma Torch Locating Pin Replacement

Keep Your ESAB PT-15 Cutting True

If you are running an ESAB PT-15 plasma torch, you know that precision is everything. The ESAB 996242 Locating Pin is the small but mighty part that keeps your torch firing straight. Designed to fit perfectly inside the PT-15 torch head, this pin acts as the guide that aligns your consumables. When you are cutting thick plate or demanding intricate shapes, you need your plasma arc to be focused and centered. This locating pin ensures that your electrode and nozzle line up exactly as the engineers intended, giving you that crisp, square edge you expect from an ESAB system.

Over time, heat and wear can take their toll on internal torch parts. A bent or damaged locating pin might seem like a minor issue, but it can cause major headaches. Symptoms like wandering arcs, uneven consumable wear, or a torch that just won't cut right can often be traced back to alignment issues inside the head. Don't risk ruining a fresh set of consumables or damaging your torch body by using worn-out hardware. Swapping out the locating pin during your regular maintenance routine is a cheap insurance policy for your expensive equipment.

We supply only genuine ESAB parts because we know that quality matters in the shop. This isn't a generic knock-off; it's the OEM part number 996242, built to the specific tolerances of the PT-15 water-cooled torch. Whether you are troubleshooting a cut quality issue or performing a full torch rebuild, having a fresh locating pin on hand is essential.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with PT-15 maintenance. Simply remove the old pin during your teardown and seat the new one to restore factory alignment. Get your machine back up and running at peak performance with the right parts. Trust genuine ESAB components to keep your production line moving and your cuts clean.
