96130314 - Arcair K2000/K3000 Replacement Cable Assembly 7ft

Technical Overview of the Arcair 96-130-314 Conductor Assembly

The Arcair 96-130-314 is a specialized conductor assembly engineered specifically for the K2000 and K3000 series of air carbon arc gouging torches. In the demanding field of industrial metal removal and preparation, the integrity of the torch assembly is paramount. This component serves as the critical lifeline between the power source, the compressed air supply, and the torch handle itself. As a genuine OEM replacement part, it is manufactured to the exact specifications required to maintain the safety ratings and performance standards of Arcair's Angle-Arc® manual gouging torches.

This 7-foot assembly is designed to facilitate the dual transmission of high-amperage electrical current and high-pressure compressed air. The concentric cable design typically employed in these assemblies allows for a streamlined connection that reduces operator fatigue compared to separate bulky cables. The internal conductors are sized to handle the rated amperage of the K2000 and K3000 torches without excessive heating or voltage drop, ensuring that the carbon electrode receives the full energy required for efficient metal removal. Simultaneously, the air passage is engineered to deliver a consistent volume of air to the torch head, which is essential for effectively blowing away molten metal from the gouge path.

Durability is a key focus of the 96-130-314. The outer jacket is constructed from high-grade, abrasion-resistant materials capable of withstanding the harsh environment of a fabrication shop or foundry. It resists damage from hot sparks, spatter, and dragging across rough surfaces. Regular inspection and replacement of the conductor assembly are recommended maintenance procedures; a compromised cable can lead to air leaks, reduced arc stability, and potential safety hazards. Installing this genuine Arcair assembly restores the torch to factory-level performance, ensuring precise control and operational efficiency.

Compatibility is strictly defined for the K2000 and K3000 models (specifically associated with assembly 70-088-107 in some configurations). Industrial maintenance teams and procurement specialists should verify the torch model number before installation to ensure proper connector fitment and amperage rating compliance.
