K918-2 - Lincoln Electric 22ft Nylon Zippered TIG Torch Cable Cover

Industrial Grade Protection for TIG Leads

The Lincoln Electric K918-2 is a professional-grade zippered cable cover engineered for the specific demands of TIG welding environments. TIG torch leads are susceptible to cuts, burns, and abrasion, which can lead to gas leaks, coolant leaks, or exposed conductors. This 22-foot (6.7 m) nylon cover provides a robust physical barrier against these hazards, significantly extending the service life of your torch assembly. It is specifically dimensioned to fit 25-foot torches, covering the majority of the lead while accommodating the necessary slack at the machine and torch ends.

High-Performance Materials and Design

Manufactured from high-tensile nylon, the K918-2 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial fabrication. The material is resistant to mold, mildew, and most shop chemicals, while providing excellent abrasion resistance against metal edges and concrete floors. The cover features a durable, non-conductive zipper that runs the entire length of the sleeve. This design allows for rapid retrofitting onto torches already in service, eliminating downtime associated with cable disconnection and re-rigging.

Operational Benefits

• Cable Management: Bundles power cables, gas hoses, and water lines (if applicable) into a single, manageable unit, reducing tripping hazards and clutter.
• Flexibility: The nylon fabric is soft and pliable, ensuring that the added protection does not stiffen the cable assembly or impede the welder's range of motion.
• Secure Fit: Supplied with heavy-duty zip ties to anchor the sleeve at the torch handle and the power pin, preventing the cover from sliding down during vertical or overhead work.

For welders using Lincoln Electric or compatible 25-foot TIG torches, the K918-2 is a critical preventative maintenance investment that ensures consistent performance and safety.
