K918-1 - Lincoln Electric 10ft Nylon Zippered TIG Torch Cable Cover

Heavy-Duty Protection for Welding Cables

The Lincoln Electric K918-1 Zippered Cable Cover is an essential accessory designed to safeguard the longevity and performance of professional TIG welding equipment. In the demanding environment of industrial fabrication, torch cables are constantly exposed to rough concrete floors, sharp metal edges, and hot sparks. This 10-foot (3.0 m) protective sleeve is engineered to shield 12.5-foot (3.8 m) torch assemblies from these hazards, significantly reducing the risk of cuts, abrasions, and premature wear that can lead to costly equipment failure or downtime.

Constructed from high-quality, heavy-duty nylon, the K918-1 offers a robust barrier against physical damage while maintaining the flexibility required for precise torch manipulation. The material is specifically selected for its wear resistance and ability to withstand the rigors of daily shop use. By bundling the power cable and gas hose together, the cover also serves as an effective cable management solution, preventing tangles and creating a safer, more organized workspace. This organization is critical in preventing tripping hazards and ensuring that the welder has a clear range of motion without fighting against snagged lines.

One of the standout features of this model is its full-length industrial zipper. Traditional cable covers often require the user to disconnect the torch from the machine and slide the sleeve over the entire length of the cable—a time-consuming process. The K918-1 eliminates this hassle, allowing for rapid installation or removal in seconds without any tools or disconnection required. The package includes durable nylon zip ties to secure the ends of the cover, ensuring it stays in place during operation. Whether for a small workshop or a large-scale manufacturing facility, the Lincoln Electric K918-1 is a smart investment in equipment protection.

Key Technical Specifications

This cable cover measures 10 feet in length, making it the ideal size for standard 12.5-foot TIG torches, leaving just enough exposed cable at the ends for easy connection to the machine and the torch body. The black nylon fabric is both lightweight and tough, adding minimal weight to the torch assembly so operator fatigue is not increased. It is compatible with a wide range of TIG torches and can also be used for other cabling applications where abrasion protection is required.
