K52249-25 - Lincoln PTW-18 Water-Cooled TIG Torch 350A 25ft

Lincoln Electric PTW-18: The Standard for Water-Cooled TIG Welding

Elevate your TIG welding capabilities with the Lincoln Electric PTW-18 (K52249-25), a 350-amp water-cooled torch designed for serious industrial use. When air-cooled torches can't take the heat, the PTW-18 steps in to deliver continuous, high-amperage performance with a 100% duty cycle. This ensures that you can weld for longer periods without the torch becoming uncomfortably hot or risking damage to the equipment.

Superior Heat Management

The water-cooling system efficiently draws heat away from the torch head and power cable, allowing for a compact design that handles significantly more power than air-cooled models of similar size. This makes the PTW-18 an excellent choice for welding thick sections of aluminum or steel where high heat input is necessary. The 25-foot cable assembly provides ample freedom of movement, allowing operators to navigate around large fixtures and assemblies without repositioning the power source.

Industry-Standard Design

The PTW-18 utilizes the standard 18-series platform, meaning it accepts widely available consumables. This universality simplifies inventory management and ensures you can always find the right cup, collet, or back cap for the job. The torch body is constructed from durable, high-temperature materials that resist impact and arc wandering, providing a stable arc and precise control.

Ready for the Shop Floor

Included in the package is the torch body, handle, and the 25-foot cable set (power, water in, water out). Note that a connector adapter (such as a Twist Mate adapter) may be required depending on your specific welding machine's output terminals. Trust in Lincoln Electric's legacy of quality to provide a TIG torch that stands up to the rigors of daily professional use while delivering the smooth, consistent arc transfer you expect.
