K1783-3 - Lincoln Electric PTA-26 TIG Torch, Air-Cooled, 200A, 25ft, 1-Piece Cable

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled Performance

The Lincoln Electric PTA-26 TIG Torch (K1783-3) is a robust addition to the Pro-Torch™ line, designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabrication and production environments. As an air-cooled torch rated for 200 amps at a 60% duty cycle, it offers significant power capacity without the complexity or expense of a water-cooling system. This makes it an excellent choice for welders who need to handle thicker materials and higher amperages in field applications or shops where portability is key. The torch utilizes a standard rigid head design, providing a stable and durable platform for consistent arc control.

Ergonomic Design for Precision

Operator comfort is critical for producing high-quality TIG welds, and the PTA-26 is engineered with this in mind. The torch features a molded, knurled handle that provides a secure, non-slip grip, allowing for precise manipulation of the torch angle and arc length. This ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during long welding sessions, enabling the operator to maintain focus on the weld pool. Additionally, the handle includes a molded lip specifically designed to secure a zippered cable cover, protecting the power cable from abrasion and sparks while keeping the workspace organized.

Versatile Connectivity and Compatibility

This model comes equipped with a 25-foot (7.6 meter) 1-piece power cable. The 1-piece design combines the power conductor and gas passage into a single durable line, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter. The extended length provides excellent maneuverability, allowing welders to work on large assemblies without constantly repositioning the power source. The PTA-26 is compatible with standard 3-series consumables (collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and nozzles shared with 17, 18, and 26 series torches), ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective. Whether for maintenance, repair, or production, the K1783-3 delivers reliable Lincoln Electric quality.
