94476080 - Arcair K-Series Gouging Torch Lever Replacement

Restore Precision to Your Gouging Operations

The Arcair 94-476-080 Lever Assembly is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the K-Series manual gouging torches, including the K2000, K3000, and the modern K4000. In heavy industrial environments, the lever mechanism of a gouging torch is subjected to repetitive stress and high thermal loads. Over time, this can lead to material fatigue, cracking, or a loss of spring tension engagement. This genuine Arcair assembly ensures that your equipment operates within the manufacturer's original specifications, maintaining both safety and efficiency.

Constructed from high-grade, heat-resistant composite materials, this lever is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions typical of foundries, shipyards, and fabrication shops. It serves as the primary interface for the operator to actuate the torch jaws, allowing for the insertion and adjustment of carbon electrodes. A compromised lever can result in poor electrode contact, arcing within the head assembly, or difficulty in changing rods, all of which contribute to downtime and potential equipment damage.

Maintenance personnel and tool crib managers will appreciate the direct fitment of this OEM part. Unlike aftermarket alternatives that may suffer from dimensional variances, the Arcair 94-476-080 guarantees proper alignment with the torch body and jaw assembly. Replacing the lever is a straightforward maintenance procedure that can significantly extend the service life of the entire torch assembly. By ensuring the clamping mechanism functions smoothly, you reduce the physical strain on operators and ensure consistent electrical conductivity to the carbon rod.

This assembly is part of a comprehensive preventative maintenance schedule for manual air carbon-arc gouging systems. Regular inspection of the lever, along with insulators and jaws, is recommended to prevent unexpected failures during critical operations. Trust in genuine Arcair parts to deliver the durability and performance required for heavy-duty metal removal applications.
