02991426 - Arcair Tri-Arc Foundry Gouging Torch Body (No Head/Valve)

Rugged Performance for Professional Gouging

The Arcair 02991426 Tri-Arc Foundry Torch Body is built for the professional welder and gouging operator who demands uncompromising performance in the harshest industrial environments. The Tri-Arc series is legendary in the field of air carbon arc gouging, particularly within foundries where the removal of risers, fins, and defects from castings is a daily necessity. This product is the torch body only, delivered without the head assembly or air valve, providing a specific solution for equipment repair or specialized configuration.

For the operator, the Tri-Arc body offers a robust grip and substantial feel, necessary when handling high-amperage gouging tasks. The absence of a built-in valve in this model suggests it is designed for systems where air supply is managed externally or where a constant air stream is utilized to clear molten metal instantly. This design reduces the number of moving parts on the torch itself, potentially increasing longevity and reducing maintenance points directly on the handle. The body is constructed to insulate the operator from the intense heat generated during the carbon arc process, while also providing the structural integrity needed to withstand accidental drops or impacts common in foundry settings.

Maintenance and modularity are key benefits of the Tri-Arc system. Because this is a body-only unit, it allows you to salvage usable heads and cable assemblies from previous torches, reducing waste and expense. It is designed to accept the heavy-duty power and air connections required for removing large volumes of metal quickly. When paired with the appropriate head and carbon electrodes, this torch body facilitates smooth, clean grooves and efficient pad washing, helping you achieve high-quality results on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other alloys.

Trust in Arcair's expertise in exothermic cutting and gouging. The 02991426 model ensures that your equipment matches the intensity of your work. Ensure you have the correct head assembly and consumables on hand to complete this torch setup. This is a professional-grade component meant for serious industrial application, ensuring that your gouging operations are as safe and productive as possible.
