94104016 - Replacement Valve Bonnet Repair Kit for K-Series Gouging Torches

Genuine Arcair Replacement Valve Bonnet Kit for K-Series Torches

Keep your gouging torch running like new with the Arcair Valve Bonnet Assembly. This all-in-one repair kit is designed to fix common issues associated with the air valve mechanism in Arcair manual gouging torches. If you are experiencing air leaks, difficulty in depressing the air valve, or if the air flow does not shut off completely, it is likely time to replace the valve bonnet assembly. This kit (Part Number 94-104-016) is the direct OEM replacement, ensuring that you get the same durability and performance that you expect from Arcair products.

The Arcair Valve Bonnet Assembly is compatible with the industry-standard K3000 and K4000 torches, as well as the K2000, K5000, and several other models like the K-3 and Tri-Arc. Gouging torches are subjected to extreme conditions, and the internal seals and moving parts of the air valve can degrade over time. This kit allows you to perform a complete rebuild of that section of the torch. Instead of struggling with a faulty tool that wastes air and hampers productivity, you can quickly swap out the worn components. The included bonnet wrench makes the job straightforward, allowing you to remove the old bonnet without damaging the torch body.

Inside the package, you will find more than just the bonnet. The kit comes complete with a new spool, high-quality O-rings, and a packet of synthetic grease. The grease is essential for lubricating the O-rings during assembly, ensuring they seat correctly and provide a leak-free seal. Proper lubrication also reduces friction, giving the air valve a smooth, responsive feel when the operator engages the lever. By using genuine Arcair parts, you avoid the risks associated with ill-fitting aftermarket replacements that can lead to further downtime.

Essential Maintenance for Gouging Efficiency

Regular maintenance of your gouging torch is key to achieving clean, consistent grooves and cuts. The air stream in the gouging process is responsible for blowing away the molten metal created by the carbon arc. If the valve is obstructed or leaking, that air pressure drops, resulting in poor metal removal and potential rework. Installing this Valve Bonnet Assembly restores the full air pressure capacity of your torch. It is an affordable and effective way to extend the life of your equipment. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a structural steel shop, or on a pipeline, having this repair kit on hand ensures that a minor valve issue doesn't stop your work for the day.
