350HCLV - CK Worldwide CK350 Water-Cooled TIG Torch Body with Valve, 350A

Built for Heat, Designed for Control

When you are pushing 350 amps all day, you need a torch that stays cool and doesn't quit. The CK Worldwide CK350HCLV is the heavy-duty big brother to the standard 18-series torch, designed to handle the heat of high-amp AC or DC TIG welding without melting down in your hand. This isn't just a standard replacement body; it's a water-cooled workhorse rated for a full 100% duty cycle at 350 amps.

One of the standout features of this specific model is the built-in gas control valve. If you're running off a scratch-start rig or an engine drive without a gas solenoid, this valve gives you the on/off control you need right at your fingertips. No more wasting argon or scrambling to shut off the bottle. The rigid head design offers a solid, stable platform for walking the cup or holding a tight arc in flat and horizontal positions.

CK Worldwide is known for their Silicon Rubber insulation, and this torch body is no exception. Unlike the hard plastic torches that crack when you drop them (or look at them wrong), this body is durable, lightweight, and resistant to high-frequency leakage. It uses the same standard front-end parts (collets, cups, back caps) as a WP-18 or WP-26, so you don't need to buy a whole new inventory of consumables. Swap this body onto your cable assembly and get back to laying dimes.
