KP508 - Lincoln Electric Magnum Parts Kit for PTA-17 Series TIG Torches

Complete Consumable Solution for PTA-17 Torches

The Lincoln Electric KP508 Parts Kit is a curated assembly of essential front-end consumables designed specifically for the PTA-17 series of air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered to meet the rigorous standards of the Magnum® product line, this kit provides the necessary components to configure a torch for a variety of welding applications. It is rated for use with torches up to 150 amps, ensuring compatibility with standard light-to-medium duty industrial equipment.

Central to this kit is the inclusion of 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes in three standard diameters: .040", 1/16", and 3/32". Ceriated tungsten is renowned for its excellent arc starting capabilities at low amperages and its stability in both AC and DC welding processes, making it a versatile choice for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium. The kit matches these electrodes with corresponding collets and collet bodies, ensuring a precise electrical contact and secure grip on the tungsten during operation.

Thermal management and gas coverage are addressed through the inclusion of three alumina nozzles with orifice sizes of 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8". These high-grade ceramic nozzles withstand the heat of the welding arc while directing shielding gas flow effectively over the weld pool. A short back cap is also provided, allowing the torch to be used in tighter spaces where a standard long cap might be obstructive. All components are housed in a sturdy, reclosable box, facilitating inventory management and protecting the parts from contamination in workshop environments.
