61082007 - Arcair K4000 Extreme Angle-Arc Gouging Torch Kit with 10ft Cable

Heavy-Duty Air Carbon-Arc Gouging Solution

The Arcair K4000 Extreme Angle-Arc Gouging Torch Kit (SKU: 61082007) represents the pinnacle of manual gouging technology for industrial applications. Designed for heavy-duty metal removal, this torch assembly is rated for an amperage range of 90 to 1000 amps, making it suitable for a vast array of fabrication and maintenance tasks. The kit includes the K4000 torch, a 10-foot (3-meter) heavy-duty cable assembly, and a complete hook-up kit, providing everything required to integrate the system into existing power sources and air supplies.

Engineered for efficiency, the K4000 features a four-hole head assembly that optimizes air flow to the arc. This design ensures that molten metal and slag are efficiently blown away from the groove edge, resulting in cleaner cuts and reduced post-gouge cleanup. The torch operates optimally at 80 psi (5.6 kg/cm²) with an air flow of 25 cfm (0.708 m³/min). A key technical advantage is the Air Assist Positive Air Shut-Off, which minimizes the cycling of the air supply unit and allows the torch to function effectively even when the air supply is marginal.

Durability and safety are core components of the K4000 design. The cable assembly features improved electrical conduction, which decreases heat build-up within the cable and torch handle, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. The outer cable cover is manufactured from superior materials designed to resist breakdown from the intense heat and harsh conditions typical of gouging environments. Furthermore, the insulated connection boot and hook-up kit virtually eliminate the risk of arcing when the assembly contacts electrically hot parts, ensuring operator safety during complex maneuvers.

This torch is ideal for applications in industrial and general fabrication, structural steel, marine and offshore structures, and pressure vessel manufacturing. The 360-degree swivel cable enhances maneuverability, allowing operators to access difficult angles without fighting cable tension.
