CK18-25-RSF - CK18 400A Water-Cooled TIG Torch Kit, 25ft 3-Piece Super-Flex, Rigid Head

Industrial Grade 400A Water-Cooled TIG Torch

The CK Worldwide CK18-25RSF is a premium water-cooled TIG torch designed for heavy-duty industrial applications where heat management and maneuverability are paramount. Unlike standard 18-series torches which are typically rated for 350 amps, CK Worldwide has engineered the CK18 to handle a robust 400 amps (ACHF or DCSP). This increased capacity is made possible by CK's proprietary head assembly design, which features the largest water jacket available in this torch class. By providing over four times the surface area for heat transfer compared to competitive brands, this torch runs cooler, lasts longer, and reduces the frequency of consumable replacement.

This kit comes equipped with a 25-foot, 3-piece Super-Flex cable assembly. Super-Flex cables are a game-changer for professional welders, utilizing lightweight silicone hose assemblies with a nylon over-braid. This construction remains flexible even in cold environments and significantly reduces wrist fatigue during long welding sessions compared to traditional rubber or vinyl cables. The 3-piece design separates the power, water, and gas lines, allowing for efficient cooling and easy maintenance.

The torch features a rigid head style without a valve, ideal for setups using a foot pedal or remote amperage control where gas flow is managed by the welding machine solenoid. It utilizes standard 3 Series consumables (compatible with 17, 18, 26, and CS300 series parts), ensuring that replacement collets, bodies, and cups are readily available and cost-effective. The "Fail-Safe" hose fittings included on the torch end ensure secure connections without the need for wire ties, preventing leaks and ensuring consistent coolant flow.
