OVERVIEW

Complete TIG Welding Solution for Water-Cooled Torches

The Weldcraft AK4C TIG Torch Accessory Kit is an essential collection of high-quality consumables designed specifically for welders using 20 Series water-cooled TIG torches. Whether you are setting up a new torch or restocking your workshop, this kit provides the fundamental components required to achieve precise and consistent welds. Manufactured by Weldcraft, a brand synonymous with TIG welding excellence, every piece in this kit is engineered to meet rigorous standards for durability and performance.

One of the standout features of the AK4C kit is the inclusion of 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes. Ceriated tungsten is a non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten and is highly regarded for its easy arc starting capabilities, particularly at low amperages. It performs exceptionally well in DC welding applications on carbon and stainless steels, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication and maintenance tasks. The kit includes three different diameters of tungsten (1/16", 3/32", and 1/8"), allowing welders to tackle various material thicknesses without needing to purchase additional electrodes immediately.

In addition to the electrodes, the kit is comprehensively stocked with the necessary hardware to hold and shield the tungsten. It contains matching collets and collet bodies for each of the three tungsten sizes, ensuring a secure grip and optimal electrical conductivity. The inclusion of three Alumina nozzles (sizes #5, #6, and #7) provides options for gas coverage control, allowing the welder to adapt to different joint configurations and gas flow requirements. A long back cap is also provided to complete the torch assembly.

This kit is compatible with a wide range of water-cooled torches, including the classic WP-20, as well as the modern W-250, W-280, and W-375 models. By purchasing the AK4C kit, you eliminate the guesswork of matching individual part numbers and ensure that your torch is equipped with genuine components that fit perfectly. This translates to less downtime, better arc stability, and a smoother welding experience overall.

FAQ

The AK4C kit is designed for 20 Series water-cooled torches, including the Weldcraft WP-20, W-250, W-280, and W-375 models.

The kit includes 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes (grey tip), which are non-radioactive and excellent for DC welding.

No, the AK4C is specifically designed for 20 series water-cooled torches. Air-cooled torches typically use different series parts (like the 17 or 26 series).

The kit contains one of each for the following sizes: 1/16 inch, 3/32 inch, and 1/8 inch.

The nozzles included in the AK4C kit are made of Alumina ceramic, which offers excellent heat resistance and durability.

Yes, the kit includes one long back cap suitable for holding full-length 7-inch tungsten electrodes.

Ceriated tungsten is primarily used for DC welding of steel and stainless, but it can be used for AC welding on aluminum if used with an inverter machine that allows for frequency and balance adjustment.

Buying the AK4C kit ensures you have matched components (collet, body, and tungsten) for multiple sizes in one purchase, often at a better value than buying pieces individually.
