01104003 - Arcair K-5 Extreme Heavy-Duty Gouging Torch Body 1250A

Heavy-Duty Industrial Gouging Solution

The Arcair K-5 Extreme Angle-Arc Gouging Torch (SKU: 01104003) represents the pinnacle of air carbon arc gouging technology for heavy industrial applications. Designed to replace the legacy 0110 model, this torch is engineered to withstand the rigors of high-amperage usage in foundries, shipyards, and structural steel fabrication facilities. With a substantial current capacity of 1250 Amps, the K-5 Extreme is built to handle large diameter carbon electrodes, facilitating rapid metal removal on massive workpieces.

Optimized Performance and Efficiency

At the core of the K-5 Extreme's performance is its advanced Four-Hole Head Assembly. This design feature significantly optimizes air flow directly to the arc, ensuring that molten metal and slag are efficiently blown away from the groove edge. This results in cleaner grooves, reduced post-gouge grinding, and improved visibility for the operator. The torch accommodates a versatile range of carbon electrodes, including pointed carbons from 5/16" to 1/2", jointed carbons up to 5/8", and 5/8" half-round carbons, making it a flexible tool for various joint configurations and defect removal tasks.

Rugged Durability

Industrial environments demand tools that can survive harsh conditions. The K-5 Extreme features a rugged construction with high-impact, heat-resistant materials that protect the internal components from the intense heat of the arc and the physical abuse of the job site. The conventional lug power connection ensures a stable and secure electrical interface, minimizing resistance and heat buildup at the connection point. Whether used for pressure vessel fabrication, marine offshore structure maintenance, or hard facing preparation, the Arcair K-5 Extreme delivers consistent, reliable performance.
