CK20-12SF - CK Worldwide CK20 Water-Cooled TIG Torch, 250A, 12.5ft, 3-Piece Super-Flex, Rigid

Industrial Grade Precision: CK Worldwide CK20-12SF

The CK Worldwide CK20-12SF is a premium water-cooled TIG torch designed for professional fabrication environments requiring high amperage output in a compact form factor. Engineered to handle 250 Amps at 100% duty cycle (ACHF or DCSP), this torch utilizes CK Worldwide's proprietary head assembly technology. Unlike standard torches, the CK20 series features a unique water jacket construction that provides over four times the surface area for heat transfer compared to competitive models. This "Increased Cooling Capacity" ensures the torch runs cooler for longer periods, significantly extending the life of consumables and preventing overheating during heavy-duty welding cycles.

Weighing in at a mere 3 ounces (85 grams), the torch body is exceptionally lightweight, reducing the mechanical load on the operator's wrist and arm. The unit is outfitted with a 12.5-foot, 3-piece Super-Flex cable assembly. These cables are constructed using high-grade silicone hose with a nylon overbraid, offering superior flexibility compared to standard vinyl or rubber cables. This flexibility is critical for maintaining precise torch control in positional welding. The 3-piece design separates the power, water return, and gas supply lines, allowing for efficient cable management and easy replacement of individual lines if necessary.

The CK20-12SF utilizes the standard "2 Series" consumables, making it compatible with parts from WP-9, WP-20, WP-25, and other similar models (including 9, 20, 100, 110, 130, 200, 230FL2L). This broad compatibility simplifies inventory management for shops already utilizing 2 Series front-end parts. The rigid head design offers a stable, fixed angle for consistent electrode orientation, while the Fail-Safe hose fittings ensure secure connections without the need for makeshift wire ties. This is a high-performance tool for serious TIG applications.
