K4544-7 - Lincoln Electric 7ft Water Hose Kit with Quick Disconnects

Reliable Cooling Connections for Industrial Welding

The Lincoln Electric K4544-7 Water Hose Kit is an essential accessory designed to maintain the thermal stability of high-performance welding systems. Specifically engineered for use with the Flextec 500 and compatible water coolers, this kit ensures a leak-free, efficient loop for coolant circulation. In heavy-duty industrial applications, maintaining proper torch temperature is critical for preventing equipment failure and ensuring consistent weld quality. This kit addresses that need by providing high-quality hoses that resist the rigors of the shop floor while delivering consistent flow rates.

The kit includes two hoses, each measuring 7 feet in length. This specific length is optimized to provide sufficient reach between the power source/cooler and the wire feeder or torch, without creating excessive slack that could become a tripping hazard or suffer from kinking. The hoses are constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the pressures associated with standard welding water coolers, ensuring long-term reliability even in continuous-use environments.

A key technical feature of the K4544-7 is the integration of Quick Disconnect fittings. The cooler end of the hoses is fitted with a male quick disconnect, while the torch end features a female quick disconnect. This configuration is industry-standard for Lincoln Electric systems, ensuring immediate compatibility and preventing cross-connection errors. The use of quick disconnects significantly reduces maintenance downtime, allowing operators to swap out torches or move equipment without the need for wrenches or hose clamps. For facility managers and equipment specialists, this kit represents a direct, OEM-quality replacement or upgrade that guarantees fitment and performance.

Whether setting up a new welding station or refurbishing an existing Flextec 500 package, the K4544-7 Water Hose Kit provides the necessary plumbing infrastructure to keep your water-cooled torches operating within their duty cycle limits. By ensuring a secure and efficient path for coolant, this kit protects your investment in expensive torches and consumables.
