10-2027 - Tweco 10-2027 Dinse Adapter for Water-Cooled #18 TIG Torch

Precision Connection for Water-Cooled TIG Systems

The Tweco 10-2027 Dinse TIG Adapter Block is an essential component for industrial welding setups requiring the integration of heavy-duty water-cooled torches with modern power sources. Designed to bridge the gap between the standard 50mm Dinse output terminals found on many inverter-based welding machines and the threaded power cables of traditional TIG torches, this adapter ensures a robust mechanical and electrical connection. Specifically engineered for the #18 series water-cooled torches, it facilitates the necessary current transfer while simultaneously managing the coolant return path, a critical function for high-amperage welding operations.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the core of the adapter offers superior electrical conductivity, minimizing resistance and heat buildup at the connection point. This is vital for maintaining arc stability and protecting the welding machine's terminals from overheating. The unit features a 7/8"-14 Left Hand (LH) thread, which is the industry standard for water/power cables on 18 series torches, ensuring broad compatibility with existing equipment. The Dinse connector pin is precision-machined to fit snugly into 50mm receptacles, preventing arcing and voltage drop that can occur with loose connections.

Beyond its electrical capabilities, the Tweco 10-2027 is designed with fluid dynamics in mind. The integrated water pass-through allows for a leak-free connection of the water return line, streamlining the torch assembly process. The exterior is encased in a durable, high-dielectric rubber boot that provides insulation against electrical shock and protects the brass components from physical damage and shop floor contaminants. This adapter represents a reliable solution for fabricators needing to adapt their water-cooled TIG equipment to various power sources without compromising on safety or performance.
