268825 - Miller Weldcraft LS17 Replacement TIG Torch for Diversion Series - 12.5 ft

Genuine Replacement Torch for Miller Diversion Welders

The Miller 268825 Kit is the official OEM replacement torch assembly for the popular Miller Diversion 165 and Diversion 180 TIG welding power sources. Designated as the Weldcraft LS17, this torch is engineered to meet the specific electrical and mechanical connection requirements of the Diversion series, ensuring a seamless installation process without the need for aftermarket adapters or retrofitting. As a member of the 17-series family of air-cooled torches, it balances compact size with robust performance, making it ideal for the light industrial and hobbyist applications for which the Diversion machines are designed.

Technically, the LS17 is rated for 150 Amps DC and 125 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle. This amperage rating aligns perfectly with the output capabilities of the Diversion 180, allowing operators to utilize the full range of their machine for welding steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The torch utilizes an air-cooling method, relying on the shielding gas and ambient air to dissipate heat, which eliminates the need for bulky water-cooling systems. The 12.5-foot (3.8-meter) cable assembly combines power, gas, and control lines into a manageable bundle, protected by a durable jacket that resists abrasion and incidental contact with hot surfaces.

One of the critical features of this specific SKU is the integration of the remote amperage control directly into the handle. The Diversion series relies on this fingertip control for arc initiation and heat input management, and the 268825 kit comes pre-wired with the correct multi-pin connector to interface immediately with the welder's front panel. The torch head accepts standard Weldcraft 10N series consumables (collets, collet bodies, and alumina cups), ensuring that replacement wear parts are inexpensive and widely available at any welding supply distributor. This kit is a complete assembly, ready to plug in and weld.
