42066006 - Arcair Sea-Jet 3/8 x 18 Inch Underwater Exothermic Cutting Electrodes (Box of 50)

Conquer the Depths with Sea-Jet Cutting Power

When you are 100 feet down, visibility is low, and you need to sever a fouled prop shaft or clear a debris field, you don't have time for equipment that hesitates. The Arcair Sea-Jet 3/8" x 18" Underwater Cutting Rods are the commercial diver's trusted companion for heavy-duty salvage and demolition. These aren't just welding rods; they are high-performance exothermic cutting tools that turn oxygen and steel into a lightsaber-like jet of heat, slicing through virtually anything in your path.

One of the biggest challenges in underwater cutting is dealing with surface contamination. Rust, scale, concrete casing, and heavy marine growth usually stop a standard torch cold. The Sea-Jet rods don't care. Because they generate their own heat source chemically, they can burn through inches of barnacles and concrete to get to the steel beneath, and then slice through the steel just as easily. You don't need to waste valuable bottom time cleaning the metal to a shine before you start cutting. Just strike the arc, engage the oxygen lever, and watch it work.

Safety and efficiency are built into every rod. The special outer coating ensures that the rod burns from the tip back, preventing dangerous blowouts or side-arcing that could damage your torch or gloves. The 18-inch length gives you enough runtime to make significant cuts without constantly stopping to reload, yet is short enough to handle easily in currents or confined spaces. Whether you are working on offshore platform decommissioning, hull repairs, or emergency wreck removal, a box of Sea-Jet rods ensures you have the thermal power to get the job done and get back to the surface safely.

Key Applications:

• Cutting through steel pilings and jacket legs.
• Removing fouled chains and wire rope.
• Breaching concrete-encased pipelines.
• Emergency hull penetration for salvage.
