The Lincoln Electric KP2842-2 Plasma Nozzle is a critical component designed specifically for the LC25 and LC30 plasma torches, commonly found on the Tomahawk 375 AIR and Tomahawk 30 AIR plasma cutting systems. Engineered to handle a current rating of 25 Amps, this nozzle plays a vital role in constricting the plasma arc to a focused, high-density stream. This focusing effect is essential for achieving clean, dross-free cuts on conductive materials, particularly when working with thinner gauges of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. By maintaining the correct orifice diameter, the KP2842-2 ensures that the airflow dynamics within the torch head remain optimal, stabilizing the arc and preventing wandering that can lead to irregular cut edges.
In the realm of plasma cutting, the nozzle is one of the most frequently replaced consumables due to its proximity to the workpiece and the intense heat of the plasma arc. As the nozzle orifice wears and widens over time, the arc loses its focus, resulting in a wider kerf, increased bevel angle, and reduced cutting speed. Utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric nozzles ensures that the copper alloy construction and orifice geometry meet the strict manufacturing tolerances required for the Tomahawk system. This adherence to OEM specifications guarantees that the cooling gas flows correctly around the electrode and through the nozzle, effectively managing thermal loads and extending the service life of both the nozzle and the electrode.
This package contains five (5) replacement nozzles, providing operators with a necessary buffer for continuous production. Whether utilized in automotive restoration, HVAC ductwork fabrication, or general light-duty industrial maintenance, these nozzles deliver consistent performance across a variety of metals, including brass and copper. The 25 Amp rating is specifically tuned for the lower power range of the Tomahawk series, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring finesse and detail rather than raw severance power. Proper maintenance of the torch front-end parts, including regular inspection and replacement of the nozzle, is paramount to sustaining the high-quality cut performance that Lincoln Electric systems are known for.
By choosing the KP2842-2, users are investing in the longevity of their equipment. Mismatched or generic consumables can often lead to poor electrical conductivity or improper seating within the retaining cap, potentially causing damage to the torch head itself. These genuine nozzles ensure a perfect fit within the LC25 and LC30 torch assemblies, maintaining the safety and efficiency of the plasma cutting operation.
