OVERVIEW

Keep Your Foundry Operations Running Smoothly

When you are working in a foundry, downtime is the enemy. Your Arcair Tri-Arc torch is a workhorse, designed to chew through metal and clean up castings shift after shift. However, the extreme heat and harsh conditions of pad washing take a toll on even the toughest equipment. The Arcair 94-378-289 Head Assembly is the direct replacement you need to get your Tri-Arc torch back to peak performance. Designed specifically for 5/8-inch carbons, this head is tailored for pad washing—stripping away pads, risers, and fins to leave a clean, flat surface on your castings.

Why settle for generic parts that might not fit right or conduct current efficiently? This genuine Arcair head assembly is built with the heavy-duty copper construction you expect, ensuring it can handle the high amps required for aggressive metal removal. A worn-out head can cause electrode slippage, poor air flow, and overheating, making your job harder and slower. By installing a fresh 94-378-289 head, you ensure that your electrode is gripped significantly tight for maximum conductivity and that the air blast is perfectly aligned to clear the molten metal instantly. This means cleaner cuts, less rework, and less frustration on the foundry floor.

Installation is straightforward, designed to fit your existing Tri-Arc setup without modification. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or fixing a breakdown, having this head assembly on hand ensures you can tackle the toughest pad washing jobs with confidence. It is built to resist spatter adhesion and withstand the rough handling that comes with heavy industrial work. Invest in the longevity of your torch and the quality of your work with this authentic Arcair replacement part.

FAQ

This head assembly is designed specifically for the Arcair Tri-Arc foundry gouging torch.

It is configured for "pad washing," which involves removing metal from flat surfaces, typically in foundry applications.

This assembly is designed to hold 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) diameter carbon gouging electrodes.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM Arcair part, number 94-378-289.

Pad washing heads are often optimized to direct air and hold the electrode at angles best suited for flat surface metal removal rather than deep grooving.

It is primarily constructed from heavy-duty copper alloy to ensure high electrical conductivity and heat resistance.

This specific head is optimized for 5/8" electrodes. Using significantly smaller electrodes may result in poor gripping or inefficient air flow; check your torch manual for other head options for different sizes.

This is the head assembly. While it includes the main mechanical gripping components, check the specific exploded view for your Tri-Arc torch to see if external insulators are sold separately or included.
