OVERVIEW

The Diver's Choice for Underwater Welding

When you are working at depth, your gear needs to feel like an extension of your hand. The Arcair Sea-Stinger II Underwater Electrode Holder is designed with the commercial diver in mind, offering a lightweight and ergonomic solution to the challenges of wet welding. Heavy, cumbersome tools can lead to hand fatigue and reduced precision, but the Sea-Stinger II's streamlined profile allows for greater control and comfort during long dives, helping you lay down high-quality beads even in low-visibility or difficult-position environments.

Versatility is critical when you are on a job. This stinger readily accepts the most common underwater electrode sizes—1/8", 5/32", and 3/16"—allowing you to switch between passes or applications without changing tools. The electrode clamping mechanism is designed for a secure grip that holds the rod at the optimum angle for welding, preventing slippage that can ruin a weld or waste valuable consumables. The fully insulated body gives you the confidence to work safely, protecting you from the electrical current in the conductive water environment.

We know that gear takes a beating on the boat and in the water. That is why the Sea-Stinger II is a favorite among welders: it is tough but easy to fix. The cable connects via a reliable double set screw system that stays tight, ensuring you get full power to the arc. If you ever need to swap out a part, the holder strips down quickly with standard tools. Whether you are patching a hull, fixing a pipeline, or cutting scrap, the Sea-Stinger II provides the performance and reliability you need to get the job done right and get back to the surface.

FAQ

The Sea-Stinger II is designed to hold 1/8 inch (3.2mm), 5/32 inch (4.0mm), and 3/16 inch (4.8mm) underwater welding electrodes.

While it holds electrodes, the Sea-Stinger II is primarily designed for welding. For underwater cutting, a dedicated cutting torch like the Arcair Sea-Dragon is typically recommended, although this holder can technically hold cutting electrodes if they fit the jaw capacity.

The welding cable is secured using a double set screw mechanical connection, which ensures a tight fit and excellent electrical conductivity.

Yes, the holder is fully insulated to protect the diver from electrical shock and to prevent the holder from arcing against the workpiece unintentionally.

Yes, the Sea-Stinger II features a simple design that allows for easy disassembly and replacement of worn components in the field.

The manufacturer part number for the Sea-Stinger II Holder is 14-050-128.

Yes, it is compatible with standard DC welding power sources commonly used for underwater welding operations (typically DCEN polarity).
