OVERVIEW

Connect Your Gear Anywhere

Stop struggling with mismatched plugs in your shop. The ESAB 0558007829 Power Adapter is the heavy-duty solution for welders who need to plug equipment with a Twist-Lock L6-20P plug into a standard welder wall outlet. If you have a plasma cutter, a water cooler, or a specialized inverter machine that uses the locking L6-20 connector, this adapter lets you power it directly from your shop's existing NEMA 6-50R outlets—the standard 3-prong outlet used for most MIG and TIG welders.

Built for the Shop
This isn't a cheap hardware store pigtail. It is an ESAB-branded industrial accessory built to withstand the rigors of a metalworking environment. The cable is thick and durable, resistant to cuts and abrasion. The connectors are fully molded to the cable, providing superior durability compared to replacement ends that are screwed on. The 2-foot length is perfect—it acts as a short "pigtail" that adapts the plug without leaving coils of wire on the floor to trip over.

Secure Locking Connection
The "R" in L6-20R stands for Receptacle, and the "L" stands for Locking. When you plug your equipment into the female end of this adapter and twist it, it locks in place. This is a huge advantage in a busy shop where cables often get tugged or moved. You won't have to worry about your machine shutting off in the middle of a cut or a weld because the plug slipped out. On the other end, the heavy-duty 6-50P plug fits securely into your wall or extension cord.

Whether you are setting up a new workstation or need a travel-ready solution for your rig, this adapter ensures you can get power to your tools wherever a standard welder outlet is available. It saves you the hassle of changing plugs on your expensive machines or hiring an electrician to install a new dedicated outlet for a single piece of gear.
