OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Cable Protection for TIG and Plasma Systems

The Weldcraft WC-3-48 Cable Cover is a premium protective solution designed to extend the service life of welding torch leads and plasma cutter cables. Manufactured by Miller Electric under the renowned Weldcraft brand, this cover is engineered to withstand the harsh realities of industrial environments. The cover measures 48 feet (14.6 meters) in length, making it ideal for extended reach applications where torch leads are dragged across concrete floors, metal grating, or around sharp machinery corners.

Material and Construction

Constructed from high-grade woven nylon, the WC-3-48 offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, cuts, and incidental heat exposure. Unlike rubber or leather alternatives, woven nylon provides a unique balance of durability and breathability, preventing moisture buildup within the cable bundle while deflecting sparks and spatter. The material is lightweight, ensuring that the welder does not experience added fatigue due to cable drag, a critical factor in precision TIG welding operations.

Installation and Fit

One of the standout features of this model is its zipper closure system. Traditional cable covers often require the user to disconnect the torch from the machine and slide the cover over the entire length of the leads—a time-consuming and frustrating process, especially with 48-foot assemblies. The WC-3-48 allows for installation over existing connected cables, saving valuable downtime. With a nominal diameter of 1-1/4 inches (derived from a 3-inch flat width), it provides a snug fit for standard cable bundles, including those found on heavy-duty models like the WP-12 and WP-27 series torches. The ends of the cover are reinforced to prevent fraying, ensuring the zipper mechanism remains secure and functional over years of use.
