K1782-10 - Lincoln Electric PTA-17F Pro-Torch TIG Torch, 150A, 25 ft, 1-Piece Cable

Professional Grade Flexibility and Control

The Lincoln Electric PTA-17F Pro-Torch™ TIG Torch (K1782-10) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabricators and production welders. As part of the premium Pro-Torch™ line, this model emphasizes versatility and operator comfort without sacrificing durability. The defining feature of the PTA-17F is its flexible head mechanism. Unlike standard rigid torches, the "F" model allows the operator to adjust the angle of the torch head manually, providing unparalleled access to restricted joints, pipe interiors, and complex assemblies where a standard torch angle would be insufficient.

Rated at 150 Amps with a 60% duty cycle, this air-cooled torch is capable of handling a wide range of light-to-medium duty TIG welding applications. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for a water cooler, significantly reducing the system's weight and complexity, making it an excellent choice for portable welding setups or shop environments where simplicity is preferred. The torch comes equipped with a 25-foot (7.6 meter) 1-piece power cable, offering substantial reach around large workpieces without the need to constantly reposition the power source.

Ergonomics play a critical role in weld quality, and Lincoln Electric has addressed this with a specially designed knurled handle. This texture ensures a non-slip, positive grip, allowing for the precise manipulation required in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Furthermore, the handle features a molded lip specifically designed to secure zippered cable covers, protecting your investment from abrasion and sparks. The PTA-17F utilizes standard 3 Series (17/18/26 series) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts like collets, bodies, and cups are readily available and cost-effective.

Whether used in a high-production fabrication shop or for precision maintenance work, the K1782-10 delivers consistent arc stability and reliable performance. Its construction utilizes high-quality copper and high-temperature silicone rubber insulation to withstand the heat and stress of daily industrial use.
