The Arcair 96070031 Striker, Bar is a fundamental accessory for professional welders and fabricators utilizing oxy-fuel cutting, welding, or brazing equipment. Engineered by Arcair, a leader in air carbon-arc gouging and welding accessories, this striker is designed to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial applications. The unit provides a mechanical means of generating a high-temperature spark, essential for the safe ignition of fuel gases such as acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas when mixed with oxygen.
Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, the striker is built to endure the harsh conditions of the workshop and field. The mechanism utilizes a hardened file surface against a replaceable flint to produce a shower of sparks directed into the gas stream. The "bar" or cup style design is particularly effective at capturing a small pocket of gas, ensuring that the spark meets the fuel at the optimal mixture point for ignition. This design minimizes the number of strikes required, reducing operator fatigue and gas wastage during startup procedures.
Ergonomics play a vital role in the design of the Arcair 96070031. The spring-tensioned arm provides the right amount of resistance to ensure a solid strike without requiring excessive force, allowing for precise control even when the operator is wearing thick leather welding gloves. The simplicity of the design means there are few moving parts to fail, ensuring high reliability. Furthermore, the ability to quickly replace worn flints ensures that the tool remains operational for years, providing excellent value and reducing consumable waste compared to disposable alternatives.
