94370167 - Arcair K4000 Replacement Left Handle Shell

Restore Safety and Functionality with Genuine Arcair Parts

The Arcair 94-370-167 Handle Assembly (Left Half) is a critical maintenance component designed specifically for the industry-standard K4000 Angle-Arc manual gouging torch. In the demanding environment of industrial metal removal and preparation, gouging torches are subjected to extreme heat, mechanical stress, and rough handling. Over time, the protective handle assembly can become cracked, chipped, or thermally degraded. This replacement part allows maintenance teams and operators to restore their equipment to factory specifications, ensuring both operational efficiency and safety compliance.

Manufactured from a specialized high-impact composite material, this handle shell is engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions typical of foundries, shipyards, and steel fabrication shops. Its primary function extends beyond mere ergonomics; it serves as a vital insulating barrier. The K4000 torch conducts high amperage currents required for the air carbon-arc gouging process. A compromised handle can expose the operator to electrical hazards or uncomfortable heat levels. By replacing a damaged handle with this genuine OEM part, you maintain the dielectric strength and thermal isolation necessary for safe operation.

This specific SKU represents the Left Half of the handle assembly. It is designed to mate perfectly with the corresponding right half, encapsulating the torch body, air valve assembly, and power cable connection. The precision molding ensures that all internal components are seated correctly, preventing movement that could lead to wear or air leaks. The assembly features pre-drilled mounting holes for standard retaining screws, making the replacement process straightforward for maintenance personnel. Investing in genuine Arcair parts guarantees that the replacement matches the original equipment's durability and fit, minimizing downtime and avoiding the risks associated with ill-fitting aftermarket alternatives.

For MRO professionals, keeping spare handle assemblies on hand is a proactive strategy to prevent work stoppages. A cracked handle is often a safety violation that removes a tool from service. With the 94-370-167, you can quickly repair the K4000 torch and return it to the production line with confidence in its reliability and safety.
