94168018 - Arcair Sea-Torch Replacement Collet Assembly

Genuine Arcair Replacement for Underwater Operations

The Arcair 94-168-018 Collet Assembly is the OEM replacement part designated for the Arcair Sea-Torch® (Part No. 14-050-124). Professional divers and underwater welders rely on the Sea-Torch for its robust design and capability to handle both exothermic cutting and underwater welding. The collet assembly is a critical internal component that directly impacts the torch's functionality and the diver's safety.

Precision Engineering for Marine Environments
Manufactured to exact tolerances, this collet assembly ensures precise alignment of the electrode or cutting rod. In underwater applications, maintaining a stable arc is difficult due to the surrounding water and pressure. A high-quality collet ensures optimal electrical transfer from the power cable to the rod, facilitating efficient ignition and sustained cutting or welding action. The materials used are selected for their resistance to galvanic corrosion and their ability to endure the thermal cycling inherent in underwater cutting processes.

Maintenance and Safety
Regular inspection and replacement of the collet assembly are recommended as part of a standard preventative maintenance schedule for the Sea-Torch. Signs of wear include difficulty in tightening the collet, visible erosion on the contact surfaces, or inconsistent arc performance. Using the authentic 94-168-018 assembly prevents damage to the torch head and collet body, extending the overall service life of your expensive underwater equipment.

Compatibility and Fit
This part is specifically keyed for the Sea-Torch 14-050-124. It integrates seamlessly with the torch's collet body and chuck nut, providing a leak-free seal where necessary and a mechanical lock that withstands the rigors of manipulation in low-visibility environments. When your project demands reliable underwater cutting capabilities, ensure your torch is equipped with the correct Arcair components.
