The Generic 41V29R is a high-performance replacement power cable designed specifically for 18 Series water-cooled TIG torches. Engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this cable serves as the primary conduit for both welding current and the return flow of coolant from the torch head. It features a length of 25 feet (7.6 meters), providing significant operational range for welders working on large assemblies or in environments where the power source is stationary. The cable is rated for a maximum output of 350 Amperes, making it suitable for heavy-duty welding cycles involving thick gauge materials such as aluminum and stainless steel.
Construction is a critical differentiator for this component. Unlike standard vinyl cables, this unit utilizes high-grade braided rubber insulation. The rubber material offers enhanced thermal stability, resisting damage from accidental contact with hot surfaces or sparks. Furthermore, the braided reinforcement provides structural integrity, preventing the cable from expanding under coolant pressure while maintaining the flexibility required for precise torch manipulation. The internal copper conductor is stranded to maximize current transfer efficiency and minimize resistive heating, ensuring that the full power of the welding machine reaches the arc.
Compatibility is broad, covering the entire 18 Series family, including standard 18, 18V (valved), 18SC (super cool), and 18P models. It is also compatible with equivalent torches from major manufacturers such as Weldcraft, Miller, CK Worldwide, Lincoln, and Radnor. The fittings are standard industry threads, ensuring a leak-proof seal for the coolant system and a low-resistance electrical connection. This cable is an essential maintenance component for ensuring the longevity and safety of water-cooled TIG setups, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent arc stability.
Installation requires proper connection to the power block/adapter at the machine end and the torch body at the operator end. Users should verify that all O-rings and seals are intact during installation to prevent coolant leakage, which could compromise the electrical isolation and cooling efficiency of the system.
