94170182 - Arcair K4000 360-Degree Swivel Connector Assembly

Restore Your K4000 Performance

The Arcair K4000 is known globally as a rugged, reliable tool for heavy-duty metal removal. However, even the toughest tools require maintenance to perform at their best. The Arcair 94-170-182 Connector Assembly is the genuine replacement part required to connect your K4000 torch to its concentric cable system. This assembly is not just a simple fitting; it is a precision-engineered component that manages the transfer of high-amperage current and compressed air into the torch body. Ensuring this connection is solid is essential for maintaining arc stability and efficient metal removal rates. If your current connector is damaged, leaking air, or showing signs of electrical pitting, this replacement part will restore your torch to factory specifications.

Ergonomics Matter: The Swivel Connector

Operator fatigue is a real challenge in heavy industrial gouging. The weight of the torch combined with the drag of the cable can cause repetitive strain injuries and reduce precision. The 94-170-182 Connector Assembly addresses this directly with its built-in 360-degree swivel. This feature allows the torch to turn freely without twisting the heavy cable behind it. For an operator, this means less force is required to orient the torch, making it easier to follow complex joint configurations or reach into difficult areas. By reducing the torque transfer from the cable to the operator's wrist, this swivel connector significantly improves daily comfort and control.

Precision Engineering from Arcair

Arcair sets the standard for the air carbon arc gouging process, and their replacement parts reflect that commitment to quality. This connector assembly is manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure a leak-free air seal and a low-resistance electrical connection. Poor quality connectors can lead to voltage drops, excessive heat buildup at the handle, and air leaks that disrupt the gouging stream. By choosing the genuine 94-170-182 assembly, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment. The robust construction is designed to survive the rough handling, grit, and thermal cycling that are part of everyday life in welding and fabrication environments.

Compatibility and Fit

This connector assembly is specifically designed for the K4000 model. It ensures that the transition from the cable to the torch handle is seamless. The assembly includes the necessary mechanical components to effect the swivel action while maintaining electrical continuity. It is a direct replacement for the original part supplied with the torch. When upgrading or repairing your gouging equipment, trust in the part designed by the manufacturer to deliver safety, performance, and durability. This component is essential for any shop that relies on the K4000 for back-gouging welds, removing defects, or preparing plate edges.
