94158045 - Arcair 94-158-045 Replacement 3/8 Inch Collet for Sea Torch and Slice

Precision Engineering for Demanding Cutting Operations

The Arcair 94-158-045 3/8" Collet is a critical component designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the Arcair Sea Torch and Slice Torch systems. In the world of industrial and marine salvage, equipment reliability is paramount. This collet serves as the primary interface between the torch power source and the cutting rod, ensuring that the massive electrical current required for exothermic or underwater cutting is transferred efficiently and safely. Manufactured to Arcair's exacting OEM standards, this component guarantees a perfect fit within the torch head, eliminating the risks associated with poor contact or arcing that can occur with ill-fitting aftermarket parts.

The collet is engineered to accommodate 3/8-inch diameter electrodes, a standard size for heavy-duty cutting applications. Whether you are performing underwater salvage operations with the Sea Torch or cutting through mixed materials like concrete and steel with the Slice Torch, the integrity of the collet is essential. It features a uniquely built design that easily fits the retaining nut, providing an optimal grip on the rod. This secure hold is vital not only for electrical conductivity but also for the physical stability of the rod during the chaotic conditions of cutting, where water pressure or awkward angles can test the limits of your equipment.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the 94-158-045 collet offers superior thermal and electrical conductivity while resisting the corrosive effects of marine environments. Regular inspection and replacement of the collet are recommended to maintain the peak performance of your Arcair torch system. A worn collet can lead to rod slippage, overheating of the torch head, and inefficient cutting. By choosing the genuine Arcair 3/8" Collet, professionals ensure their equipment remains safe, efficient, and ready for the toughest jobs.

This product is compatible with specific rotatory units and torch assemblies identified by the manufacturer, specifically the 14-05 series configurations found in Sea Torch and Slice setups. Its robust design ensures longevity, even when subjected to the high heat and oxidative stress inherent in exothermic cutting processes.
