35857 - ESAB 17V Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 150A, 12.5ft 2-Piece Cable

Industrial Grade ESAB 17V Air-Cooled TIG Torch

Equip your welding station with the ESAB 17V TIG Torch, a robust 150-amp solution engineered for precision and durability. This torch is designed for welders who require an air-cooled system that doesn't compromise on power or control. The "17" series body is the most popular size for general fabrication, offering a comfortable grip and a head size that balances accessibility with high amperage capacity. With a 60% duty cycle at 150 amps, it handles the majority of light-to-medium gauge welding tasks with ease.

Manual Gas Control & 2-Piece Cable System

The "V" in the model name signifies a built-in gas control valve. This feature is essential for field applications and shop setups where the power source lacks a gas solenoid valve. It allows the operator to manually open the gas flow before striking the arc and close it after the weld cools, ensuring proper shielding without complex machine integration. This makes the torch an excellent accessory for converting standard DC Stick welders into TIG welding powerhouses.

Distinct from standard consumer torches, this unit comes with a 2-piece cable assembly. In this configuration, the power cable and the gas hose are separate lines. This setup is traditional for heavy-duty industrial equipment and allows for the use of a power block or lug adapter to connect to the output studs of a welding machine. The separation of gas and power lines often results in a more durable system that is less prone to overheating and easier to service in the field. The 12.5-foot length provides ample reach for standard fabrication cells.

Superior Construction & Compatibility

ESAB's commitment to quality is evident in the high-temperature silicone rubber insulation and impact-resistant molding of the torch body. It is designed to withstand the heat of reflected radiation and the physical abuse of daily use. The torch accepts industry-standard front-end parts, meaning you can easily source collets, gas lenses, and nozzles from any major supplier. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust systems or mild steel brackets, the ESAB 17V provides the consistent arc stability and ergonomic comfort required for high-quality welds.
