K1782-2 - Lincoln Electric PTA-17 Pro-Torch TIG Torch, 150A Air-Cooled, 12.5ft 2-Piece Cable

Lincoln Electric PTA-17 Pro-Torch TIG Torch (K1782-2)

The Lincoln Electric PTA-17 Pro-Torch (K1782-2) is a premium air-cooled TIG welding torch designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabrication, maintenance, and repair. Rated at 150 amps with a 60% duty cycle, this torch provides a reliable arc for welding steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in various thicknesses. The K1782-2 configuration features a 12.5-foot (3.8 meter) 2-piece power cable, offering a traditional setup that separates the power conductor from the gas line for specific machine connections.

Engineered for operator comfort and precision, the PTA-17 features a molded, knurled handle. This texture provides a non-slip, sure grip, allowing the welder to maintain precise control over the torch angle and travel speed, even while wearing heavy welding gloves. The handle also includes a specially molded lip or ridge designed to facilitate the easy connection of a zippered cable cover. This feature ensures that protective covers remain securely attached, preventing them from sliding down and exposing the cables to hot sparks or abrasion.

This model utilizes a rigid head design, offering a stable and durable platform for standard welding joints. As an air-cooled torch, it eliminates the complexity and weight associated with water-cooled systems, making it an excellent choice for portable welding rigs and shop environments where simplicity is key. The torch is compatible with industry-standard Series 3 (10N series) consumables, including collets, collet bodies, and gas nozzles, ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and affordable.

Whether used in aerospace applications, food and beverage industry fabrication, or general metal art, the Lincoln PTA-17 delivers consistent performance. The high-quality construction materials assure long life and resistance to the heat and wear typical of industrial welding environments. This package includes the torch body, the 12.5-foot 2-piece cable assembly, and a long back cap, ready to be outfitted with your preferred tungsten and consumables.
