K1783-9 - Lincoln PTA-26V Air-Cooled TIG Torch 200A 25ft 2-Piece

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled Performance

The Lincoln Electric PTA-26V Pro-Torch™ (K1783-9) is a premium air-cooled TIG torch designed for professionals who require 200 amps of welding power without the complexity of a water-cooling system. This model is part of Lincoln's renowned Pro-Torch series, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of fabrication shops, production lines, and field maintenance. The torch is rated for a 60% duty cycle at 200 amps, making it one of the most capable air-cooled torches in its class, suitable for welding thicker sections of steel and stainless steel.

Manual Gas Control for Versatility

A defining feature of the 'V' model is the integrated gas control valve located directly on the torch body. This valve allows the operator to manually open and close the shielding gas flow, a critical function when using welding power sources that do not have a built-in gas solenoid valve. This makes the PTA-26V an excellent choice for scratch-start or lift-arc TIG applications on stick welding machines or older power sources. The valve is easy to operate with a gloved hand, ensuring gas is only used when necessary, reducing waste.

Ergonomic and Durable Design

Operator comfort is paramount in precision TIG welding. The PTA-26V features a comfortable knurled handle that provides a non-slip, sure grip, allowing for precise manipulation of the arc. The handle also includes a molded lip/ridge designed specifically to secure zippered cable covers, preventing them from sliding down and exposing the cables. The 25-foot, 2-piece cable assembly offers extended reach, separating the power conductor from the gas line for durability and ease of repair. Built with high-quality materials, this torch ensures consistent performance and a long service life in industrial environments.
