1-WA - 10ft #1 Welding Cable Whip with Stinger and LC-40 Connector

Optimize Your Stick Welding Setup

For professional welders, ergonomics is not just a luxury—it is a necessity for maintaining weld quality and preventing repetitive strain injuries. The 10ft Cable Whip Assembly (1-WA) is designed specifically to address the issue of heavy, stiff cables dragging on the electrode holder. By inserting this 10-foot section of highly flexible #1 gauge cable between your main lead and the stinger, you gain a significant range of motion and fine control that standard heavy-duty cables cannot match.

High-Flexibility Performance

The key to this whip's performance lies in its construction. It utilizes a premium annealed bare copper conductor with fine 36-gauge stranding. This design maximizes flexibility without sacrificing conductivity. The cable is encased in a high-visibility orange EPDM jacket, which provides a tactile grip and superior protection against the sparks, slag, and sharp metal edges common in welding zones. The EPDM material also ensures the cable does not stiffen in cold weather, maintaining its 'whip' characteristics even in temperatures as low as -50°C.

Plug-and-Play Compatibility

Efficiency on the job site is critical. This assembly arrives ready to work, featuring a pre-installed Electrode Holder and an LC-40 Male Connector. The LC-40 style connector is widely used in the industry, ensuring compatibility with a vast range of cable extenders and machine outputs. The secure connections ensure minimal voltage drop and stable arc characteristics, which are essential for producing high-quality SMAW welds.

Safety and Standards

Safety is paramount in electrical welding applications. This cable assembly is rated for 600 Volts, providing ample insulation margin for standard open-circuit voltages. It meets or exceeds ASTM B-172 specifications, assuring you of a product that adheres to rigorous industrial quality standards. Whether you are working in a shipyard, on a pipeline, or in a fabrication shop, this whip assembly is a rugged, reliable addition to your welding toolkit.
