57Y06 - ESAB HW-17 Rigid TIG Torch Body, 150A Air-Cooled

Get Back to Welding with the ESAB HW-17 Head

Is your TIG torch acting up? A stripped thread or a cracked head on your 17-series torch can bring your entire project to a grinding halt. The ESAB HW-17 Rigid Torch Body (57Y06) is the reliable fix you need to get your rig firing smoothly again. Designed as a direct replacement for standard air-cooled 17-series torches, this body swaps out easily, letting you keep your existing cable and hose setup while restoring the front-end performance of your machine.

We know that comfort and control are everything when you're laying down dimes. This rigid body features a 60-degree angle, which many welders find offers a natural hand position for bench work and out-of-position welds alike. It’s rated for 150 amps, giving you plenty of power for welding steel, stainless, and aluminum without overheating the handle. The heavy-duty insulation isn't just for safety; it's built to take the abuse of a shop environment, resisting chips and burns better than cheap generic knock-offs.

Don't waste money replacing your entire torch lead just because the head is worn out. This body accepts all your favorite consumables—cups, collets, and back caps—so you don't have to change your inventory. Whether you are a hobbyist in the garage or a pro in the field, keeping a spare 57Y06 in your toolbox ensures that a dropped torch or a cross-threaded collet body doesn't ruin your day. Trust ESAB quality to keep your arc stable and your welds clean.
