WC-4-10 - Weldcraft WC-4-10 Zippered Nylon Cable Cover, 10ft x 1.75in

Technical Overview of the Weldcraft WC-4-10 Cable Cover

The Weldcraft WC-4-10 is a specialized protective sleeve designed to bundle and shield the power cables and hoses of heavy-duty TIG torches. Engineered specifically for water-cooled torch models such as the WP-12 and WP-27, this cover features an expanded internal diameter of 1-3/4 inches (approx. 44.5mm). This larger diameter is critical for accommodating the increased bulk of high-amperage power cables and coolant lines found in heavy industrial welding setups without restricting flexibility or coolant flow.

Manufactured from high-grade woven nylon, the WC-4-10 offers significant improvements in abrasion resistance over traditional vinyl or leather covers. The woven structure provides a high tensile strength barrier that resists cuts from sharp metal edges, friction from concrete shop floors, and incidental contact with hot spatter. Despite its durability, the material remains lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the torch assembly remains maneuverable in tight welding positions.

A key technical feature of this model is the full-length non-conductive zipper closure. This design allows for rapid installation and removal of the cover without the necessity of disconnecting the torch from the power source or water cooler. This is particularly advantageous for maintenance and inspection of the underlying hoses. The ends of the cover are reinforced to prevent the nylon weave from unraveling, ensuring long-term structural integrity in demanding industrial environments.
