SG26FX-S1-12SLG549 - 26FX Air-Cooled TIG Torch with Flex Head and Button Control - 12.5ft

Industrial Grade 26FX Series TIG Welding Torch

The SG26FX-S1-12SLG549 is a robust air-cooled TIG torch designed for professional fabrication and maintenance environments. Engineered to handle up to 200 amps of DC welding current (150 amps AC), this torch belongs to the widely used 26-series family, ensuring broad compatibility with standard front-end consumables such as collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups. The 'FX' designation indicates a flexible neck mechanism, a critical feature for welders required to operate in restricted spaces or at difficult angles where rigid torches cannot maintain the proper tungsten-to-work distance.

This assembly is supplied with a 12.5-foot power cable, providing adequate reach for bench work and medium-sized fabrication cells. The cooling method is strictly air-cooled, utilizing the mass of the copper conductor and the torch body design to dissipate heat, thereby removing the requirement for a water cooler and simplifying the equipment setup. This makes it an ideal choice for field applications or shops where portability is paramount.

A key technical specification of this model is the integrated momentary switch (button) located on the handle. This switch is wired to a 9-pin aviation-style connector, facilitating direct remote contactor control for compatible welding power sources. This integration eliminates the need for a foot pedal in out-of-position welding scenarios, such as climbing ladders or working inside vessels. The torch body is constructed from high-temperature silicone rubber and reinforced phenolic resins to withstand the radiant heat of the arc and resist impact damage.

Maintenance and repair operations (MRO) managers will appreciate the standardization of the 26-series platform, which minimizes inventory complexity for spare parts. The power cable utilizes high-strand-count copper for flexibility and is encased in a durable, abrasion-resistant rubber jacket designed to withstand shop floor environments.
