94158047 - Arcair 1/8 Inch Collet for Sea-Torch Underwater System

Precision Component for Underwater Applications

The Arcair 94-158-047 is a specialized 1/8-inch collet designed exclusively for the Arcair Sea-Torch, a leading combination torch used in the commercial diving industry for underwater cutting and welding. In the demanding environment of subsea construction and salvage, the reliability of every torch component is paramount. This collet serves as the critical interface between the torch body and the consumable electrode, ensuring that the electrode is held firmly in place despite the pressures and dynamic forces encountered during underwater operation.

Manufactured to Arcair's rigorous OEM specifications, this collet is engineered to provide superior electrical conductivity. A loose or poorly fitting collet can lead to arcing inside the torch head, reduced cutting efficiency, and potential damage to the torch body itself. By using the genuine 94-158-047 collet, operators ensure that the full current is transferred efficiently to the electrode, maximizing the performance of the exothermic cutting or wet welding process. The component is crafted from high-grade copper alloy materials selected for their resistance to corrosion and their ability to withstand the thermal cycling inherent in underwater arc processes.

This specific collet is sized for 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) electrodes. It is essential for divers and equipment technicians to match the collet size exactly to the electrode diameter being used to prevent slippage or jamming. The Sea-Torch system relies on these interchangeable collets to adapt to different electrode sizes, making this part a vital spare for any dive locker or offshore support vessel. Proper maintenance of the torch, including the regular inspection and replacement of the collet, extends the service life of the equipment and ensures the safety of the diver.

Whether performing salvage operations, hull repairs, or offshore platform maintenance, the integrity of the Sea-Torch depends on high-quality internal components. The Arcair 94-158-047 collet delivers the precision fit and durability required for professional underwater tasks, ensuring that the tool performs as expected when the arc is struck.
