WC-3-10 - Weldcraft WC-3-10 10ft Zippered Nylon TIG Torch Cable Cover

Product Overview

The Weldcraft WC-3-10 is a premium cable cover designed to protect welding torch leads from the harsh environment of industrial fabrication. Manufactured by Miller Electric under the Weldcraft brand, this accessory is essential for maintaining the integrity of power cables, gas hoses, and water lines associated with TIG and plasma welding equipment. The cover measures 10 feet (3 meters) in length, making it suitable for standard torch packages.

Material and Construction

Constructed from heavy-duty woven nylon, the WC-3-10 provides a robust barrier against abrasion, cuts, and incidental contact with hot surfaces. The material is selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that the added protection does not significantly increase the drag or weight of the torch assembly, thereby preserving operator ergonomics. The woven texture offers flexibility, allowing the cables to maneuver freely during complex welding operations.

Dimensions and Fit

With a flat width of 3 inches, the cover wraps around cable bundles to form a snug cylinder with an approximate diameter of 1-1/4 inches. This size is universally compatible with the majority of air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches, with the specific exception of the larger WP-27 and 12 series torches. The ends of the cover are reinforced to prevent fraying and are designed to be secured with the included nylon zip ties.

Installation Features

A key feature of the WC-3-10 is its full-length industrial zipper. This design permits the installation of the cover over existing cable assemblies without the need to disconnect the torch from the power source or cooler. This saves significant downtime and simplifies maintenance. The zipper is durable and shielded by the nylon fabric to prevent it from snagging or conducting current.
