OVERVIEW

Get Your Arc Back with the PER1MT1 Replacement Trigger

Is your TIG torch acting up? Nothing is more frustrating than pressing the trigger and getting no response, or worse, having the arc cut out in the middle of a critical pass. The PER1MT1 Control Switch is the perfect fix for worn-out or broken triggers on your TIG torch. Designed as a direct replacement for many Parker and standard style torch handles, this little switch packs a punch in reliability and performance. Don't spend money on a brand-new torch body when a simple switch swap can get you back to welding in minutes.

Why Choose the PER1MT1?
This switch is built for the welder who needs consistency. It uses a momentary push-button design that provides a crisp, responsive click every time you engage it. This tactile feel is essential when you are under the hood, letting you confidently control your start and stop points. Whether you are feathering the heat on thin aluminum or laying down heavy beads on stainless steel, knowing your trigger will respond instantly allows you to focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your equipment.

Versatile and Easy to Install
The PER1MT1 is compatible with a wide variety of TIG torch handles commonly used in the industry. If your torch handle has the standard rectangular switch slot, chances are this unit will fit perfectly. It sits flush with the handle, ensuring it doesn't snag on your gloves or get accidentally activated when you set the torch down. Wiring it up is a breeze—simply connect the two control wires from your cable assembly, seat the switch in the housing, and secure it. It works seamlessly with any welder that supports remote amperage or standard on/off contactor controls.

Built for the Shop
Welding shops are tough environments. Dust, grinding sparks, and drops are part of the daily grind. The PER1MT1 is constructed with durable materials to resist cracking and wear. It is an essential spare part to keep in your toolbox or maintenance locker. A faulty switch is one of the most common reasons for TIG torch downtime; keeping a PER1MT1 on hand ensures you are never stuck waiting for parts when a deadline is looming. Upgrade your torch reliability today and keep your arcs starting smooth and strong.

FAQ

The PER1MT1 is a momentary switch, meaning it is only active while you are pressing the button. Latching logic (like 4T) is handled by the welding machine, not the switch itself.

It fits many WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 style torches that use the standard Parker or generic ergonomic handle design. Please check your existing handle's switch recess shape to confirm compatibility.

The switch typically has terminals for soldering or small spade connectors, depending on the specific revision. You will need to connect the two control wires from your torch's power cable to these terminals.

No, the PER1MT1 is the switch module only. It does not include the long control cable that runs to the machine.

This is a simple on/off contact switch. It does not have a potentiometer for variable amperage control (scrolling). It is strictly for starting and stopping the arc.

Triggers can stick due to dirt ingress or mechanical wear. Replacing the unit with a new PER1MT1 usually resolves the issue and restores crisp action.

No, standard TIG torch switches are not waterproof. They should be kept dry to prevent shorting or corrosion of the contacts.

This is a Parker brand switch, known for high quality and compatibility with a wide range of professional welding torches.
