OVERVIEW

Lincoln K1784-1 PTW-18 Water-Cooled TIG Torch

Maximize your welding potential with the Lincoln Electric PTW-18 Pro-Torch, a heavy-duty water-cooled TIG torch built for the professional welder. This torch package (K1784-1) includes a 12.5-foot cable assembly and is rated for an impressive 350 Amps at 100% duty cycle. It is the ideal solution for fabrication shops and manufacturing environments where heat management and equipment reliability are critical. By utilizing water cooling, the PTW-18 maintains a compact head size relative to its power output, allowing for better visibility and access compared to bulky high-amperage air-cooled alternatives.

The K1784-1 is distinguished by its premium 3-piece braided rubber cable system. Braided rubber is significantly more durable than standard vinyl, resisting cuts, burns, and kinks while offering the flexibility needed for intricate torch movements. The 3-piece configuration ensures that power, water, and gas are delivered efficiently, and the modular nature allows for easier troubleshooting and part replacement. The torch connects to standard water coolers and power sources, integrating seamlessly into your existing high-performance TIG setup.

Designed with the user in mind, the Pro-Torch PTW-18 features a lightweight body and a knurled handle that offers a secure, comfortable grip. This ergonomic design helps minimize operator fatigue during extended welding sessions. The handle also features a specialized ridge to accommodate cable covers, ensuring your setup remains tidy and safe. Backed by Lincoln Electric's reputation for quality, this torch is constructed from high-grade materials to ensure long service life and consistent arc performance.
