CK2325 - CK230 Water Cooled TIG Torch Kit, 300A, 25ft, 3-Piece Triflex

High-Performance CK230 Water Cooled TIG Torch Kit

The CK Worldwide CK2325 is a premium TIG welding torch package centered around the CK230 torch body. This model represents a significant engineering advancement in water-cooled torch technology, specifically designed to bridge the gap between compact size and high amperage output. While standard 20-series torches are typically rated for 250 amps, the CK230 utilizes a unique head assembly that provides the largest water jacket available in its class. This construction offers over four times the surface area for maximum heat transfer compared to competitive torch heads, allowing for a robust 300 Amp ACHF or DCSP rating. This increased cooling capacity ensures the torch runs cooler, extends consumable life, and maintains operator comfort during prolonged welding sessions.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The CK2325 package includes a 25-foot, 3-piece Triflex cable assembly, known for its flexibility and durability in industrial environments. The torch head features a rigid design without a gas valve, suitable for welding power sources with built-in gas solenoids. It is classified as a 2 Series torch, making it compatible with widely available consumables used in 9, 20, 100, 110, 130, 200, and 230FL2L series torches. This cross-compatibility simplifies inventory management for shops already utilizing standard Weldcraft, Lincoln, or WeldTec style parts. The unit connects via standard cables and hoses and features CK's Fail-Safe hose fittings, which provide secure connections without the need for wire ties.

Industrial Application and Durability

Designed for heavy-duty fabrication where access and maneuverability are critical, the CK230 allows welders to access tight spaces typically restricted to lower-amperage air-cooled torches, but with the power required for thicker materials. The 3-piece cable design separates the power conductor from the water and gas lines, offering a lighter weight assembly that reduces wrist strain. The torch body itself weighs approximately 3-3/4 oz (106gm) and measures 8-1/4 inches (20.9cm), providing an ergonomic balance of size and power. This kit is an ideal solution for precision aerospace, motorsports, and general industrial manufacturing where thermal management and arc stability are paramount.
