86Z25 - ESAB 86Z25 Rubber Boot Insulator for HW-9/HW-20 Torches

Keep Your TIG Torch Safe and Functional with the ESAB 86Z25 Boot

Is your TIG torch looking a little worse for wear? The rubber boot on your torch is one of the most overlooked but essential safety features of your welding setup. The ESAB 86Z25 Rubber Boot Insulator is the direct replacement you need for your HW-9 or HW-20 TIG torch. If your current boot is cracked, split, or missing entirely, you are exposing sensitive electrical connections to the shop environment—and potentially exposing yourself to stray voltage.

This high-quality rubber boot acts as a shield for the back of your torch head. It covers the vital connection where the power cable meets the torch body, keeping out grinding dust, dirt, and moisture that can cause corrosion and poor conductivity. More importantly, it insulates the connection to prevent accidental shocks or arcing against your workpiece or welding table. A fresh boot not only makes your torch look new again but also ensures it handles comfortably and safely.

Designed specifically for the popular Heliweld HW-9 and HW-20 series, this boot offers a perfect fit without the hassle of trying to force generic parts to work. The rubber is flexible enough to install easily but tough enough to handle the heat and abuse of daily welding. Don't wait for a shock or a short circuit to remind you to maintain your gear. Keep a spare ESAB 86Z25 in your toolbox and ensure your TIG torch is always ready for the next bead.
