Upgrade your welding setup versatility with the Lincoln Electric K960-1 Twist Mate Torch Adapter. If you own a Lincoln Electric welder with Twist Mate receptacles and want to run a TIG torch, this adapter is the missing link you have been looking for. It is specifically designed to connect PTA-9 and PTA-17V torches that use a single-piece power cable to machines that do not have built-in gas solenoids or gas-through output terminals.
Many robust stick welders have the capability to TIG weld but lack the specific plumbing to handle gas flow through the front panel. The K960-1 solves this problem instantly. It plugs securely into your machine's negative terminal using the industry-standard Twist Mate connection, delivering the reliable power Lincoln Electric is known for. At the same time, it provides a separate connection point for your shielding gas, allowing you to hook up your argon tank directly to the torch system. This means you can get professional TIG results from your existing power source without complex modifications.
When you are in the middle of a critical fabrication job or a repair, you need connections that hold tight and conduct electricity efficiently. This adapter is built tough with high-quality materials to resist heat and wear. The installation is tool-free and takes seconds—simply twist it into the machine, connect your torch and gas line, and you are ready to strike an arc. Whether you are a hobbyist expanding your skills or a professional welder needing to adapt equipment on the fly, the K960-1 ensures your torch performs at its best.
