41V30R - CK Worldwide 25ft Super-Flex Argon Gas Hose for 3 Series Torches

Technical Overview: CK Worldwide 41V30R Argon Hose

The CK Worldwide 41V30R is a premium replacement gas hose designed for the rigorous demands of industrial TIG welding. Part of CK's renowned Super-Flex line, this hose is engineered to solve common issues associated with standard vinyl or rubber hoses, particularly stiffness and memory retention in cold environments. This specific model is a 25-foot assembly dedicated to Argon gas delivery, ensuring a clean and consistent shield for your welding pool.

Compatibility is a key feature of the 41V30R. It is classified under the 3 Series of consumables, making it a direct fit for a wide range of popular TIG torch models. Specifically, it is designed to interface with WP17, WP18, and WP26 torches, as well as their equivalents from manufacturers like Weldcraft, Lincoln Electric, WeldTec, and Profax. This universality simplifies inventory management for MRO departments, as a single hose SKU can service multiple torch configurations within a facility.

The construction of the hose utilizes high-grade materials that resist kinking and abrasion. In a water-cooled setup (like the WP18), the gas hose is a critical component that must maintain integrity to prevent atmospheric contamination of the weld. The 41V30R ensures reliable gas flow even when the cable is manipulated around complex geometries. Its 25-foot length provides ample working distance from the power source and gas cylinder, enhancing operational flexibility in large fabrication bays.

For maintenance and repair operations, replacing an aging or cracked gas hose with the CK 41V30R restores the torch to optimal performance. Leaking hoses are a primary cause of porosity in TIG welds; ensuring your equipment is fitted with a high-quality, intact hose like this CK Worldwide unit is essential for maintaining code-quality weld outputs.
