94960001 - Arcair 94-960-001 Spanner Wrench for Manual Gouging Torches

Essential Maintenance Tool for Arcair Manual Torches

The Arcair Spanner Wrench (94-960-001) is a critical accessory for any professional welder or fabricator utilizing Arcair manual gouging systems. Designed and manufactured in the United States, this tool is engineered to fit the specific components of Arcair manual torches, ensuring that assembly and disassembly processes are smooth, safe, and effective. Unlike generic adjustable wrenches or pliers, which can slip and damage the brass or copper components of a high-amperage torch, this spanner wrench provides a precise fit for the nuts and connections found on standard Arcair models.

Regular maintenance of gouging torches is vital for performance and safety. Over time, connections can loosen due to thermal cycling, or parts may need replacement due to wear. The Arcair Spanner Wrench allows operators to securely tighten the torch body, cable connections, and head assemblies without over-torquing. Its slim 0.1-inch profile allows it to slide easily into the specific slots and flats machined into the torch body, providing the leverage needed to ensure a conductive and mechanical bond between parts. This is particularly important in gouging applications where high current is used; a loose connection can lead to arcing, overheating, and premature failure of the torch.

Measuring 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches, this tool is compact enough to fit in a personal tool pouch or the torch kit box, yet large enough to provide adequate leverage. It is constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the harsh environment of a welding shop or field site. Whether you are replacing a worn insulator, swapping out a power cable, or performing a complete torch rebuild, having the correct factory-specified tool on hand saves time and prevents costly damage to your equipment.

At Josef Gas, we recommend using only genuine Arcair tools for your Arcair equipment to maintain warranty standards and operational efficiency. This spanner wrench is a small investment that protects the longevity of your more expensive gouging hardware.
