K2166-2 - Lincoln Electric Adapter for PTA-9/17/26 Two-Cable Torches

Connect Air-Cooled Torches to Your Precision TIG

Unlock the full potential of your Lincoln Electric Precision TIG welder with the K2166-2 Two-Cable Adapter. If you have ever wanted to run a standard air-cooled torch on your machine but found the connections didn't match, this is the solution you have been looking for. The Precision TIG series often comes equipped with a 7/8-inch combination port designed for water-cooled setups or specific single-cable torches. The K2166-2 adapter bridges the gap, converting that port into a simple, rugged 1/2-inch output stud.

This adapter is specifically engineered for use with two-cable torch assemblies, such as the popular PTA-9, PTA-17, and PTA-26 models. In a two-cable setup, the power cable is separate from the gas line, and the power cable typically terminates in a lug that needs a stud to bolt onto. This adapter provides that stud, ensuring a solid electrical connection for consistent welding performance. It is an absolute must-have for welders who prefer the simplicity and portability of air-cooled torches for specific jobs where a water cooler isn't needed.

Lincoln Electric builds accessories that last, and this adapter is no exception. It is designed to handle the heat and current of TIG welding while maintaining a tight, secure fit to your machine. Installation is quick and easy, meaning you can switch between different torch setups in minutes without frustration. Whether you are setting up a new rig or expanding the capabilities of your existing shop equipment, the K2166-2 gives you the freedom to choose the right torch for the job.

Why You Need This Adapter:

• Versatility: Lets you use lightweight air-cooled torches on your heavy-duty machine.
• Easy Setup: Simple screw-on design makes changing torches a breeze.
• Official Part: Genuine Lincoln Electric component guarantees fit and safety.
