K2265-1 - Lincoln Electric TIG-Mate 17V Air-Cooled TIG Torch Starter Pack

Complete TIG Welding Solution

The Lincoln Electric TIG-Mate™ 17V Air-Cooled TIG Torch Starter Pack (K2265-1) is a comprehensive solution designed to equip welders with the essential tools required for high-quality TIG welding. This kit is meticulously curated to provide compatibility and performance, centering around the robust PTA-17V air-cooled torch. Engineered for professionals and serious fabrication enthusiasts, the kit simplifies the process of setting up a TIG station by bundling the torch with critical gas regulation and connection accessories.

PTA-17V Torch Performance

At the heart of this package is the PTA-17V torch, rated at 150 amps with a 60% duty cycle. The "V" designation indicates a built-in gas control valve on the torch body. This feature is crucial for welding power sources that do not have an internal gas solenoid valve, allowing the operator to manually control shielding gas flow directly at the torch. The torch is designed with a comfortable knurled handle for a non-slip grip, ensuring precise manipulation during intricate welds. Additionally, a molded lip on the handle facilitates the secure attachment of cable covers, protecting the 12.5-foot lead from wear and tear.

Ready-to-Weld Components

Beyond the torch, the TIG-Mate™ kit includes a premium Harris flowmeter/regulator to ensure accurate shielding gas delivery. A 10-foot gas hose, a Twist-Mate™ adapter for easy power source connection, and a dedicated work clamp and cable round out the electrical and gas connections. A TIG parts kit is also included, providing the necessary consumables to get started immediately. All components are housed in a durable, portable carrying case, making this an excellent choice for mobile welders or those needing to store their equipment neatly when not in use.
