45V65 - ESAB HW-26 Replacement TIG Torch Body 75 Degree

Get Back to Welding with the ESAB HW-26 Replacement Body

There is nothing more frustrating than a cracked or arcing torch body stopping production in the middle of a job. The ESAB 45V65 is the heavy-duty replacement body you need to revive your trusty HW-26 air-cooled TIG torch. Known as the workhorse of the industry, the 26-series torch is found in fab shops everywhere, and this genuine ESAB body ensures your tool performs like new. Whether you dropped your torch, stripped the threads, or the insulation has finally given up after years of heat cycles, this simple replacement part saves you the cost of buying an entire new torch assembly.

Built for the Shop Environment
This isn't a flimsy knock-off; it's built with a solid copper core to handle the 200 amps required for welding thicker aluminum and steel sections. The outer rubber molding is tough and heat-resistant, designed to withstand the accidental contact with hot metal that happens in real-world welding scenarios. The 75-degree angle is the classic configuration most welders learn on—it feels natural in the hand and provides excellent visibility of the puddle for bench work and out-of-position welds alike.

Seamless Compatibility
If you are running a standard air-cooled setup, this body will fit right into your existing handle. It takes all the standard consumables you already have in your toolbox—collets, gas lenses, and pink cups. Swapping it out is straightforward: simply disconnect your power cable, slide off the handle, unscrew the old body, and thread this one on. Within minutes, you are back under the hood laying beads. Don't let a damaged torch head compromise your weld quality or safety; upgrade to a fresh ESAB 45V65 body and keep the arc stable.
