94158049 - Arcair Arcwater II Replacement Collet 5/16-Inch

Arcair Arcwater II Replacement Collet - 5/16 Inch

The Arcair 94-158-049 is a precision-engineered collet designed for use with the Arcwater II underwater cutting torch. This specific model is sized to accommodate 5/16-inch (7.9 mm) cutting electrodes, a standard size for heavy-duty underwater gouging and cutting applications. As a genuine OEM part, it ensures full compatibility with the Arcwater II torch assembly (Part No. 14-050-127), providing the reliability professionals demand in subsea environments.

Key Features and Performance:

• Secure Grip: The collet is designed to clamp firmly onto the electrode, preventing slippage even under the high pressure of underwater jetting and cutting.
• Electrical Efficiency: Made from high-grade conductive materials, it minimizes resistance and heat buildup at the contact point, delivering maximum amperage to the arc.
• Durability: Built to withstand the corrosive marine environment and the thermal cycles associated with exothermic or electric arc cutting.

Maintenance and Safety:
Regular inspection and replacement of the torch collet are recommended as part of a standard preventative maintenance schedule. A compromised collet can result in poor arc starts, unstable cutting arcs, and accelerated wear on other torch components. By using the correct 94-158-049 collet, operators ensure that the electrode is aligned correctly and that the gas or water flow (depending on the specific torch setup) is not obstructed by misalignment.

Equip your dive team with the best components. The Arcair 94-158-049 restores your Arcwater II torch to factory specifications, ensuring safe and effective cutting operations on every dive.
