Setting up a TIG torch shouldn't be a headache involving a dozen trips to the hardware store for random fittings. The Lincoln Electric KP505 Hook-Up Kit is the all-in-one solution for welders running Lincoln's popular PTA-9, PTA-17, or PTA-26 torches. Whether you are setting up a brand new rig in your garage or replacing worn-out lines in a busy fabrication shop, this kit has exactly what you need to bridge the gap between your machine, your gas bottle, and your torch handle. It takes the frustration out of installation so you can strike an arc sooner.
One of the biggest advantages of this kit is the included 12.5-foot gas hose. We all know the struggle of being tethered too close to the bottle or the machine. This generous length gives you the freedom to move around your workpiece without dragging the cylinder cart with you. It allows for better positioning and comfort, which directly translates to better welds. The kit also includes the specific 18-inch jumper hose needed to connect the solenoid valve to the power cable adapter, a piece that is often missing or damaged on older machines. Having both hoses in one package means you aren't stuck waiting on a single missing part.
This kit is designed for versatility. It handles the connections for your gas regulator and power source, and even includes provisions for water supply connections if your setup demands it. Because it is a genuine Lincoln Electric product, you don't have to worry about thread mismatches or leaky crimps. The fittings are machined to fit your PTA torch perfectly. A leaky gas hose isn't just annoying; it wastes expensive argon and ruins your welds with porosity. By swapping in the fresh, high-quality hoses found in the KP505 kit, you ensure consistent gas coverage and a stable arc.
Don't let a bad connection hold up your project. If you are running a PTA-9, 9F, 17, 17F, 26, or 26F torch, this is the factory-correct way to hook it up. It’s a small investment that protects your equipment and improves your daily welding experience. Keep your focus on the puddle, not on the plumbing, with the Lincoln KP505 Hook-Up Kit.
