K1782-4 - Lincoln Electric PTA-17 TIG Torch, 150A, Air-Cooled, 25ft 2-Piece Cable, Rigid Head

Lincoln Electric PTA-17 TIG Torch (K1782-4) - Professional Grade Air-Cooled Performance

The Lincoln Electric PTA-17 TIG Torch (K1782-4) is a premium air-cooled solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional welders and fabrication shops. Engineered for versatility and durability, this torch is part of the renowned Pro-Torch™ TIG family, known for delivering consistent arcs and reliable operation. With a rated output of 150 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, the PTA-17 is capable of handling a wide range of welding applications, from light-gauge sheet metal to medium-duty structural work. The air-cooled architecture eliminates the need for bulky water-cooling systems, making this torch an excellent choice for field applications, maintenance crews, and shops where portability is a priority.

This specific model, the K1782-4, features a 25-foot (7.6 meter) 2-piece cable assembly. The 2-piece configuration separates the power conductor from the gas line, which is essential for compatibility with welding power sources that utilize a separate stud for power and a gas solenoid outlet. The extended 25-foot length significantly enhances workspace flexibility, allowing operators to move freely around large assemblies without constantly repositioning the welding machine. The torch head is a rigid style, providing a stable and robust platform for precise tungsten manipulation.

Operator comfort is paramount in the design of the PTA-17. The handle features a molded, knurled texture that ensures a non-slip, sure grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended welding sessions. This ergonomic design allows for superior torch control, which is critical for achieving high-quality TIG welds. Additionally, the handle includes a molded lip/ridge specifically designed to secure zippered cable covers, protecting your leads from abrasion and sparks while keeping the workspace organized. Compatible with industry-standard 3-series consumables (10N series collets and bodies), the PTA-17 ensures that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective.
