OVERVIEW

Maximize Your Reach and Cutting Power

Take your plasma cutting capabilities to the next level with the ESAB PT-17A Plasma Torch. If you are tackling big jobs that require serious cutting power and the freedom to move, this is the torch for you. Featuring an impressive 50-foot lead, this torch eliminates the frustration of being tethered too closely to your machine. You can easily navigate around large trailers, structural beams, or across the shop floor without constantly dragging your heavy power source behind you. It gives you the flexibility to work where the job is, not just where the machine sits.

The PT-17A isn't just about length; it's built for comfort and endurance. The 75-degree head angle is designed with the welder in mind, providing a natural grip that reduces fatigue during long cutting sessions. Whether you are gouging out old welds or severing thick plate, the balance and feel of this torch give you superior control over your cut. Under the hood, the water-cooled design is a game-changer. By actively circulating coolant through the torch head, it stays cool even when you are blasting through thick metal at high amps. This means you can keep cutting longer without the torch getting too hot to handle, and your consumables—electrodes and nozzles—will last significantly longer, saving you money on replacements in the long run.

Durability is key in any shop, and ESAB delivers with the PT-17A. The cables are protected by a tough outer jacket that resists cuts, burns, and abrasion from dragging over concrete or metal edges. The torch body itself is constructed from high-impact materials that can survive the inevitable drops and knocks of daily shop life. This unit is a direct replacement for existing PT-17 style setups, ensuring a hassle-free installation so you can get back to making sparks fly.

Don't let equipment limitations slow you down. The ESAB PT-17A combines heavy-duty industrial performance with the practical features you need to work efficiently. From the ergonomic grip to the massive 50-foot reach, every aspect is designed to help you cut better, faster, and more comfortably. Upgrade your rig today and experience the difference a professional-grade water-cooled torch makes on your toughest projects.

FAQ

This specific model (SKU 20000) comes with a 50-foot cable assembly, providing extended reach for large workspaces.

The ESAB PT-17A is a water-cooled plasma torch, designed for high-amperage applications and extended duty cycles.

This torch features a 75-degree head angle, which is the standard ergonomic angle for manual hand cutting.

It uses standard ESAB PT-17 series consumables, including specific electrodes, nozzles, and heat shields designed for water-cooled operation.

No, this torch requires a power source with a water cooling system (or an external water cooler) to function correctly and prevent immediate overheating.

Water cooling allows the torch to operate at higher amperages for longer periods (100% duty cycle) without overheating, and it significantly extends the life of consumables.

The '75DEG' designation indicates this is a hand torch designed for manual operation. Machine torches typically have straight (180-degree) barrels.

Yes, this is a complete torch assembly including the torch head, handle, and the 50-foot lead set.
