CK18-25 FX - CK Worldwide 18 Series Flex Head TIG Torch - 350A Water Cooled 25ft

Premium Water-Cooled TIG Welding Performance

The CK Worldwide CK18-25FX is a high-performance TIG torch designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Part of the industry-standard 18 Series, this torch is engineered to handle up to 350 Amps at a 100% duty cycle, making it an essential tool for heavy fabrication, pipe welding, and aerospace applications where heat management and reliability are paramount. The water-cooled design ensures that the torch remains cool to the touch even during prolonged welding arcs, protecting both the internal components and the operator from excessive heat buildup.

Advanced Flex Head Technology

One of the standout features of the CK18-25FX is its flexible head assembly. Unlike rigid torch bodies that limit the angle of approach, the Flex head utilizes a specially designed silicone rubber insulation and copper conductor that allows the user to bend the torch neck to suit the specific geometry of the workpiece. This capability is critical when welding in confined spaces, around obstructions, or in out-of-position scenarios. The ability to adjust the head angle reduces the need for awkward hand positioning, thereby improving weld quality and consistency.

Durable 3-Piece Cable Assembly

This model comes equipped with a 25-foot, 3-piece cable assembly. In this configuration, the power cable, water return hose, and gas/water-in hose are separate lines. This traditional industrial setup is favored for its durability and ease of maintenance. If a single line is damaged, it can be replaced individually without discarding the entire cable set. The cables are manufactured with high-quality vinyl and rubber materials to resist abrasion, cuts, and heat exposure common in shop environments. The 25-foot length provides ample reach, allowing the welder to move freely around large assemblies without constantly repositioning the power source.

CK Worldwide Quality

CK Worldwide is renowned for producing TIG torches that are smaller, lighter, and more efficient than competitors. The CK18 series utilizes CK's proprietary cooling chamber designs which maximize thermal transfer, allowing for a smaller head size relative to its amperage rating. This results in a torch that feels balanced in the hand and offers superior visibility of the weld puddle. The torch accepts standard Series 3 (10N, 11N, 12N series) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective.
