OVERVIEW

Get Your K-3 Torch Back in Action with the Arcair 94-170-168

When you are deep in a gouging job, the last thing you need is a torch that's overheating or leaking air because of a bad connection. The Arcair 94-170-168 Male Connector Assembly is the genuine replacement part you need to fix up your trusty K-3 Angle-Arc torch. This isn't just a piece of brass; it's the lifeline that delivers the massive amperage and air pressure from your cable to the torch head. If your old connector is stripped, burnt, or just worn out from years of heavy use, swapping it out with this OEM part is the best way to restore your torch's performance to like-new condition.

We know that air carbon-arc gouging is one of the roughest processes on equipment. The heat is intense, and the vibration and physical wear can take a toll on connections. That's why Arcair builds this male connector to be tough. It offers a solid, secure fit that prevents the "wobble" that causes arcing inside the handle. A solid electrical connection means your torch runs cooler and your consumables last longer. Plus, a tight air seal ensures that every bit of compressed air is blasting the molten metal away from your groove, giving you cleaner cuts and less cleanup time later.

Don't risk your weld quality or your safety with cheap knock-off parts that might not fit right. The 94-170-168 is designed specifically for the K-3, so you know it will thread in perfectly without forcing it. Whether you are rebuilding an old torch that's been sitting in the tool crib or doing an emergency repair on the line, this connector assembly is a must-have. It connects the power cable assembly to the torch body, bridging the gap for both power and air.

Keep a spare 94-170-168 in your toolbox. Gouging torches take a beating, and having the right parts on hand means the difference between a quick fix and a long shutdown. This assembly is easy to install and gets you back to gouging steel, stainless, or iron with the power and reliability you expect from an Arcair K-3. Trust the brand that invented the process to keep your gear running smooth.
