OVERVIEW

Complete Consumable Solution for PTA-17 Torches

The Lincoln Electric KP508 Parts Kit is a curated assembly of essential front-end consumables designed specifically for the PTA-17 series of air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered to meet the rigorous standards of the Magnum® product line, this kit provides the necessary components to configure a torch for a variety of welding applications. It is rated for use with torches up to 150 amps, ensuring compatibility with standard light-to-medium duty industrial equipment.

Central to this kit is the inclusion of 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes in three standard diameters: .040", 1/16", and 3/32". Ceriated tungsten is renowned for its excellent arc starting capabilities at low amperages and its stability in both AC and DC welding processes, making it a versatile choice for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium. The kit matches these electrodes with corresponding collets and collet bodies, ensuring a precise electrical contact and secure grip on the tungsten during operation.

Thermal management and gas coverage are addressed through the inclusion of three alumina nozzles with orifice sizes of 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8". These high-grade ceramic nozzles withstand the heat of the welding arc while directing shielding gas flow effectively over the weld pool. A short back cap is also provided, allowing the torch to be used in tighter spaces where a standard long cap might be obstructive. All components are housed in a sturdy, reclosable box, facilitating inventory management and protecting the parts from contamination in workshop environments.

FAQ

The KP508 kit is designed for Lincoln Electric PTA-17 series torches, as well as LA-17 and 17V models. It is generally compatible with standard 17-series air-cooled TIG torches rated for 150 amps.

The kit includes three 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes (grey color code). Ceriated tungsten is non-radioactive and offers excellent arc starting and stability for both AC and DC welding.

Yes, the kit includes one short back cap, which is ideal for welding in tight spaces where a standard long back cap would not fit.

The kit contains parts for three diameters: .040 inch, 1/16 inch, and 3/32 inch. It includes one tungsten electrode, one collet, and one collet body for each of these sizes.

The KP508 kit typically includes standard collet bodies. While some descriptions may vary, the standard contents list specifies regular collet bodies rather than gas lens components.

The kit comes with three alumina nozzles with orifice sizes of 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, and 3/8 inch.

This kit is primarily designed for the PTA-17 series, which are air-cooled torches. While some front-end parts may fit certain water-cooled models (like the 18 series), it is specified for the 150A air-cooled 17 series.

Yes, all components are packaged in an easy-to-carry reclosable box to keep parts organized and protected.
