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

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

The ESAB 35857 Heliarc® HW-17V-2TL TIG Torch is a professional-grade, gas-cooled hard body torch designed for consistent performance in demanding TIG welding applications. Built with a valve-on-body design, it is specifically engineered for use with welding machines that do not have a built-in gas solenoid. The integrated manual valve allows the welder to control shielding gas directly from the torch, ensuring precision and flexibility during operation.

Constructed with a durable hard body housing, this torch is optimized for heat resistance and longevity, withstanding tough industrial environments. Its 12.5 ft two-piece cable assembly includes a Dinse 35 (50 mm) solid male connector for secure power connection, and a 5/8″-18 UNF inert gas fitting for direct regulator/flowmeter hookup. This makes it highly adaptable and compatible with a wide range of 150A+ welding machines.

Rated at 150 amps ACHF or DCSP @ 100% duty cycle, the HW-17V-2TL provides reliable performance across a variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel. Made in the USA, it delivers both durability and precision, giving welders a trusted tool for fabrication, repair, and custom work.
