OVERVIEW

Keep Your A6 Running Smoothly

If you are running an Arcair A6 Automatic Gouging torch, you know that uptime is everything. The Arcair 0154200001 Contact Jaw is the genuine replacement part you need to keep your 5/16-inch carbons feeding smoothly and burning hot. When you are gouging out welds on a massive vessel or stripping cladding, the last thing you need is a contact jaw that doesn't grip right or overheats due to poor conductivity. This jaw is made from heavy-duty copper alloy designed to take the heat and keep the current flowing.

Over time, contact jaws wear out. The constant sliding of the carbon electrode and the extreme heat of the arc eventually erode the contact surface. A worn jaw can cause arcing inside the torch head, poor arc starts, and irregular gouges. Swapping in a fresh 0154200001 Contact Jaw restores that crisp, stable electrical connection. It is machined to exact tolerances to fit your A6 system perfectly, ensuring that the automatic feed mechanism can push the carbon through without slipping or binding.

This part is specifically sized for 5/16" electrodes, a common size for automated applications requiring a balance of precision and removal rate. Don't risk your expensive equipment or the quality of your work with generic knock-offs. Genuine Arcair parts are built to handle the amperage and the environment of heavy industry. Whether you are in a foundry, a rail shop, or a fabrication yard, having a spare contact jaw on the shelf means you are ready to tackle maintenance immediately and get back to work.

Installation is straightforward, designed for the maintenance-friendly architecture of the A6 system. Simply remove the worn jaw and seat the new one to restore factory-level performance. Ensure your automatic gouging setup delivers the clean U-grooves and rapid metal removal rates it was designed for with this essential consumable.
