The Lincoln Electric PTA-26FV is a premium air-cooled TIG torch designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional welders and industrial fabrication environments. Part of the renowned Pro-Torch™ series, this model (K1783-11) offers a robust 200-amp output at a 60% duty cycle, making it one of the most capable air-cooled torches available. It is specifically engineered for versatility, featuring both a flexible head and a manual gas control valve, designated by the "FV" suffix. This combination allows operators to weld in constrained spaces while managing shielding gas flow directly at the torch, a critical feature for field applications using power sources without built-in gas solenoids.
Constructed from high-grade materials, the PTA-26FV ensures consistent electrical conductivity and thermal management, reducing operator fatigue during extended welding sessions. The torch handle features a diamond-knurled pattern, providing a secure, non-slip grip that enhances precision and control over the arc. Additionally, a molded lip at the rear of the handle allows for the secure attachment of a zippered cable cover, protecting the power cable from abrasion and sparks in harsh shop environments.
The 25-foot, one-piece power cable offers significant reach, allowing welders to move freely around large workpieces without repositioning the welding machine. As a 26-series torch, it utilizes standard 3-series consumables (collets, bodies, and nozzles compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series torches), ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective. Whether used for maintenance, pipe welding, or general fabrication, the Lincoln PTA-26FV delivers reliable performance and adaptability.
