OVERVIEW

High-Performance Water-Cooled TIG Welding Torch

The Parker SGT18FX is a premium water-cooled TIG torch designed for professional industrial applications requiring sustained high-amperage welding. Engineered for durability and performance, this torch belongs to the industry-standard 18 Series, making it compatible with a vast array of widely available consumables and parts. The water-cooling system efficiently dissipates heat, allowing for a 100% duty cycle at 350 Amps DC, ensuring that the torch remains cool to the touch even during prolonged welding sessions on thick materials.

One of the standout features of this model is the flexible neck (Flex Head). Unlike rigid torch bodies, the 18FX allows the operator to bend the torch head to various angles, providing superior access to restricted areas, pipe joints, and complex fabrications. This flexibility does not compromise the current transfer, thanks to high-quality internal copper components. The 12.5-foot cable assembly offers a standard reach suitable for most bench and shop environments, minimizing cable clutter while providing adequate mobility.

Operator comfort is prioritized with an ergonomic handle design. The 'Suregrip' style handle features soft-grip areas and a knuckle joint that improves maneuverability and reduces wrist strain. This is critical for precision TIG welding where stability and control are paramount. Whether you are welding aluminum, stainless steel, or mild steel, this torch delivers the consistency and reliability required for code-quality welds.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Thermal Efficiency: Superior water cooling prevents overheating, extending consumable life and protecting the welder.
  • Versatility: The flex head adapts to the job, reducing the need for multiple specialty torches.
  • Compatibility: Uses standard 10N and 57Y series consumables, simplifying inventory management.

FAQ

This torch is rated for 350 Amps DC and 260 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle.

Yes, as an 18 Series water-cooled torch, it requires a recirculating water cooler to operate safely and prevent damage.

It uses standard 18 Series consumables, which are also compatible with 17 and 26 series torches (collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and ceramic cups).

FX stands for 'Flex Head', meaning the neck of the torch body can be bent to adjust the angle of the tungsten for better access.

This model comes with a 12.5-foot (approx. 3.8 meters) cable assembly.

Yes, it features an ergonomic 'Suregrip' style handle designed to reduce hand fatigue and improve grip stability.

Only if you add an external water cooler. Without water flowing through it, the power cable will burn out almost immediately.
