KP2844-6 - Lincoln Electric Tomahawk LC65 Shielded Contact Nozzle 50A (5-Pack)

Precision Plasma Cutting with Lincoln Electric KP2844-6

The Lincoln Electric KP2844-6 Nozzle is a critical consumable component engineered specifically for the LC65 plasma torch, which is the standard torch supplied with the Tomahawk 1000 plasma cutting system. Designed to operate at 50 Amps, this nozzle features shielded contact technology, a significant advancement in manual plasma cutting. The shielded design electrically isolates the nozzle tip from the workpiece, allowing the operator to drag the torch directly on the metal surface. This capability greatly simplifies the cutting process, particularly for template work or when maintaining a steady hand is difficult, ensuring a consistent standoff distance and arc length for superior cut quality.

Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's exacting tolerances, the KP2844-6 nozzle focuses the plasma arc into a high-density stream, enabling clean, dross-free cuts on a variety of conductive materials. Whether you are processing mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or copper, these nozzles maintain the aerodynamic integrity of the plasma gas flow, resulting in narrower kerf widths and reduced heat-affected zones. The 50A rating is optimized for the mid-range power output of the Tomahawk 1000, striking a balance between cutting speed and precision on medium-thickness plates.

Reliability in industrial environments is paramount, and using genuine Lincoln Electric consumables like the KP2844-6 ensures that your equipment operates within its design parameters. Non-OEM consumables can lead to irregular arc starts, premature torch wear, and inconsistent cut quality. These nozzles are sold in packs of five, providing a necessary buffer for production environments where downtime must be minimized. Regular inspection and replacement of the nozzle are essential for maintaining system efficiency; a worn orifice can lead to a divergent arc and poor cut angularity. By choosing the KP2844-6, you are investing in the longevity of your LC65 torch and the quality of your finished work.

Integration with the LC65 torch system is seamless. The nozzle threads securely into place, working in conjunction with the electrode and swirl ring to generate the plasma state. The shielded configuration also helps protect the nozzle from molten spatter blowback during piercing, further extending the service life of the consumable compared to unshielded alternatives. For professional fabricators relying on the Tomahawk 1000, these nozzles are an indispensable part of the daily toolkit.
