K52072-50 - Lincoln Electric HELIX System 50ft Extension Assembly

Technical Overview: Lincoln Electric K52072-50 HELIX Cable/Hose Extension

The Lincoln Electric K52072-50 is a specialized 50-foot (15.2 m) Cable/Hose Extension designed specifically for the HELIX series of equipment. This assembly serves as a critical link in expanding the operational envelope of your welding or fume extraction system, enabling operators to access hard-to-reach joints and work areas without the logistical burden of relocating the primary equipment unit. Engineered to Lincoln Electric's exacting standards, this extension ensures that all power, control signals, and fluid/gas delivery requirements are met with the same reliability as the standard length connections.

Durability and Construction
Industrial environments demand components that can withstand harsh abuse. The K52072-50 features a heavy-duty, industrial-grade sheathing that bundles the cable and hose elements together. This composite design not only protects the individual lines from physical damage—such as crushing from forklifts or cuts from sharp metal edges—but also simplifies cable management by preventing tangles and knots. The materials used are selected for their resistance to common shop contaminants, including oils, solvents, and welding spatter, ensuring a long service life and reduced maintenance downtime.

Performance and Compatibility
Using the correct extension is vital for maintaining system parameters. The K52072-50 is calibrated to minimize voltage drop and flow restriction over its 50-foot length, ensuring that the performance at the torch or extraction point remains consistent with the machine's settings. The connectors are precision-molded to fit HELIX system ports perfectly, providing a secure mechanical lock and excellent electrical and pneumatic continuity. This plug-and-play capability means minimal setup time is required to extend your range. For professional welders and maintenance teams relying on Lincoln Electric HELIX systems, this extension is a mandatory accessory for large-scale fabrication projects.
