0558007681 - ESAB PT-38 90A Gouging Nozzle (Pack of 5)

Optimize Your PowerCut System with ESAB Gouging Nozzles

Maximize the versatility of your plasma cutting setup with the ESAB 90A Gouging Nozzle (0558007681). Designed exclusively for the PT-38 plasma torch found on PowerCut 1300 and 1600 machines, this consumable transforms your cutting system into a powerful gouging tool. Plasma gouging is widely preferred for its ability to remove metal rapidly while minimizing heat input and reducing post-process cleanup compared to traditional mechanical grinding or carbon arc methods.

The 0558007681 nozzle is engineered to withstand the intense heat of 90-amp output. Its durable copper construction and precision-machined bore ensure a stable plasma arc that effectively melts and blows away base material. This makes it indispensable for applications such as back-gouging welds, removing cracks or porosity, and preparing plate edges for deep-penetration welding. The specific design of the gouging nozzle differs from a standard cutting nozzle by widening the arc, allowing for a broader, shallower removal of material that is easier to control.

Reliability is key in high-production environments. ESAB’s commitment to quality means that every nozzle in this 5-pack meets strict performance standards. Consistent consumable quality translates to consistent arc behavior, allowing welders and fabricators to work with confidence. A worn nozzle can cause the arc to wander or lose focus, leading to messy gouges that require additional grinding to fix. Keeping a fresh supply of genuine ESAB nozzles ensures that your work remains clean and professional.

Installation is straightforward, fitting seamlessly into the PT-38 torch assembly. These nozzles are an essential part of the consumable stack for any professional using the PowerCut series for maintenance, repair, or fabrication tasks. Invest in genuine ESAB parts to protect your equipment investment and achieve the superior results that the PowerCut system is capable of delivering.
