• Series: 17/18/26

Product Usage Instructions

TIG Torch Parts Overview

The TIG torch parts include various components such as tungsten
electrodes, torch bodies, collets, gas lenses, diffusers, and cups
for different welding applications.

Assembly Instructions

Follow the detailed assembly instructions provided in the user
manual to correctly assemble the TIG torch according to your
welding requirements.

Gas Control

Connect the TIG torch to the gas regulator or bottle to control
the flow of gas during welding. Ensure proper gas flow for optimal
welding results.

Electrode Selection

Select the appropriate tungsten electrode size based on your
welding machine’s amperage and the thickness of the materials you
are welding.

Gas Lens Benefits

Gas lens components provide low-turbulence gas flow for improved
weld quality and allow for longer tungsten stick-out during
welding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the purpose of gas lens components?

A: Gas lens parts incorporate a fine mesh gas
filter for low-turbulence and smooth, linear gas flow to improve
weld quality and allow longer tungsten stick-out.

Q: Which torch series is suitable for standard inverter

machines?

A: The 17 & 26 Series with valve torches
are suitable for standard inverter machines ranging from 130A to
250A+.

Q: How do I select the correct tungsten electrode size?

A: Choose the tungsten electrode size based on
your welding machine’s amperage and the thickness of the materials
being welded. Refer to the user manual for guidance.

TIG TORCHES SUPER-FLEX
Platinum TK Series
· For use on professional TIG welders (typically AC/DC machines) where gas is routed through the machine · Where a lightweight, flexible and slimline torch is preferred for maximum dexterity & control · Often used where operator is using a foot pedal (as all controls are via the foot pedal, switch on the torch is
not required) · Optional trigger kit allows torch to be used independently of foot pedal if required (note: switch does NOT
include plug and must be retro-fitted by the user)
Includes: · Super-Flex 1-piece braided cable · Cylindrical low-profile torch handle · Flexible torch head · Large 35-50 male connector (Ø13mm) to suit most welders 180-200A & above · Range of gas fittings (including quick-connect) to suit most machine brands · 1.6mm tungsten & parts
