OVERVIEW

Keep Your K4000 Torch Running Strong

When you are in the middle of a tough gouging job, the last thing you need is a slipping carbon rod. The Arcair 96168036 Clamp Assembly is the direct replacement part you need to fix a worn-out K4000 torch. If your lever feels loose, or if you are noticing arcing inside the head because the rod isn't seating right, it is time to swap out the clamp. This is the genuine article from Arcair, meaning it fits right the first time and holds up to the heat.

The K4000 is the workhorse of the gouging world, but even the toughest tools need maintenance. The clamp assembly takes the brunt of the abuse during rod changes and operation. This replacement kit comes fully assembled with the lever and upper arm mechanism, making it a quick repair that you can do right at the bench. The black finish on the lever is tough and resistant to spatter and grime, keeping the mechanism moving freely longer.

Don't risk damaging your torch body or ruining a workpiece with a wandering arc. A fresh clamp assembly restores that crisp, snap-action grip on the carbon, ensuring you get maximum current transfer and a clean, controlled gouge every time. Whether you are working in a fab shop, on a pipeline, or in a repair facility, keeping a spare clamp assembly on hand is smart business. Get your torch back to factory performance specs with this essential replacement part.

Quick Installation

Designed for the K4000, this part drops into place with minimal fuss. It is designed to handle the standard range of pointed, jointed, and flat carbons used with the K4000 torch. Stop fighting with worn-out gear and get back to making sparks fly with a solid, secure grip.
