ESAB 35857 150 Amp Heliarc® HW-17V-2TL Gas Cooled Hard Body TIG Torch

The ESAB 35857 Heliarc® HW-17V-2TL Gas-Cooled TIG Torch is a 150-amp, hard-body torch designed for precision TIG welding applications. Built for machines without a built-in gas solenoid, this torch features a manual gas valve on the body, allowing welders to control shielding gas flow directly at the torch. The 12.5 ft cable assembly includes a Dinse 35 (50mm) power connector, ensuring compatibility with most 150A+ welding machines. A separate gas line with a 5/8″-18 UNF inert gas fitting provides a direct connection to a regulator or flowmeter.

This gas-cooled torch is ideal for welders needing a durable, high-performance solution for AC and DC TIG welding. Rated for 150 amps at 100% duty cycle, it handles aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and other metals with ease. The torch is Made in the USA, ensuring high-quality materials and precision engineering for professional-grade performance.
