The Arcair 94-433-177 is a specialized Tip Insulator designed exclusively for the Arcair Sea Torch, a combination torch widely used in the commercial diving industry for underwater cutting and welding. This component plays a pivotal role in the electrical isolation system of the torch head. In underwater exothermic cutting applications, maintaining the integrity of the electrical path is critical not only for the efficiency of the cut but also for the safety of the diver and the longevity of the equipment. The insulator is engineered to separate the current-carrying components from the outer torch body and the surrounding water environment at the tip interface.
Manufactured to Arcair's stringent OEM specifications, this insulator is constructed from high-impact, non-conductive materials capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of marine salvage and construction. It resists degradation from saltwater exposure, high localized heat generated during the arc cutting process, and the physical knocks associated with underwater work. The part number 94-433-177 specifically references the insulator located at the tip assembly, ensuring proper seating of the collet and electrode.
This product is supplied in a package of two (2), allowing procurement teams to stock adequate spares for offshore projects. Regular inspection and replacement of the tip insulator are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule for the Sea Torch. A compromised insulator can lead to arcing against the torch body, poor arc stability, or accelerated wear of the collet assembly. By utilizing genuine Arcair parts, operators ensure full compatibility and maintain the safety rating of their underwater cutting systems.
