269757 - Weldcraft W-280 Replacement Power Cable 12.5ft Braided

Reliable Power Delivery for Precision TIG Welding

The Weldcraft W-280 TIG Torch Power Cable (269757) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the W-280 Super-Cool™ and WP-280 series of water-cooled TIG torches. In high-amperage TIG applications, the integrity of the power cable is paramount, not only for delivering consistent welding current but also for managing the safe return of coolant in water-cooled systems. This 12.5-foot (3.8-meter) cable is engineered to meet the rigorous standards of Miller and Weldcraft, ensuring that your equipment operates at its rated duty cycle without compromise.

Heavy-Duty Braided Rubber Construction

Unlike standard vinyl cables that can stiffen or crack over time, this power cable features a premium braided rubber outer jacket. This construction offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, hot sparks, and the general wear and tear of an industrial shop environment. The rubber material maintains its flexibility even under thermal stress, allowing the welder to manipulate the torch with precision and minimal wrist strain. Inside, high-quality copper stranding ensures efficient conductivity, minimizing voltage drop and heat buildup within the cable itself.

Industry-Standard Identification and Safety

Safety and proper setup are critical in water-cooled TIG configurations. The Weldcraft 269757 is color-coded red, adhering to the industry standard for power cables (which typically also serve as the water return line in 3-hose setups). This visual indicator helps technicians and welders quickly identify the correct connections at the cooler and power source, preventing costly cross-connection errors. By using genuine OEM parts, you ensure that the fittings mate perfectly with your existing W-280 torch body and machine connectors, preventing coolant leaks that could damage equipment or contaminate welds.

Optimized for the W-280 Series

The W-280 series is known for its compact size and high cooling capacity. This power cable is specifically tuned to handle the amperage ratings of the W-280 and WP-280 torches. Using undersized or generic aftermarket cables can lead to overheating and reduced torch life. Investing in the genuine Weldcraft 269757 replacement cable restores your torch to factory specifications, ensuring reliable arc starting and stable current flow for the most demanding fabrication tasks.
