ARCCAPTAIN TIG Welding Gun, WP-17V Argon TIG Torch with 13FT Red Air Hose and 35-50mm Connector, Lift Tig Torch 150amp with 13FT Cable for ARCCAPTAIN ARC200, MIG200, MIG250, ARC205 Pro and MIG205 Pro

Good product

Works as it should. Low price and was a match for the Mig200

good quality

seems to be working out well for me. nice and lightweight very maneuverable hold heat for a while after shut down

Great deal, very flexible. I swapped out the torch head for one without the valve. I wished they would produce a similar version in WP26 size to handle greater than 150 amps. My use was on the Arc Captain 200P AC/DC. Its plug and play on this machine although the provide a long argon hose for direct bottle connection. I cut this down to reduce clutter. I wished they would produce a similar version in WP26 size to handle greater than 150 amps.

My main torch is a CK Worldwide TL26 with the super-flex hose/lead and I love it. But if you’d like to have a low cost spare torch for usage below 150 amps, this torch is pretty hard to beat especially considering it’s $59 price. I can confirm that the machine connector does fit the standard Dinse 35 quick disconnect fitting (1/2” diameter brass stud) used on the Miller, Lincoln, PrimeWeld, etc equipment. Get the version with the red hose. The red (silicone) hose is very flexible (not quite as flexible as the super-flex hose on my CK torch, but close enough). In photo #1, you can see the brass stud on the Arccaptain machine connector isn’t quite as long as the standard Dinse 35, but it still works fine the way it is. However, if you want to lengthen the brass stud to match the standard Dinse 35 connector, buy a short length of 1/2” diameter brass rod on Amazon for around $5 or $6 and a short length of 2.5mm diameter stainless or brass rod. Once you have these two things, center punch and drill a 3/32 hole in the machine connector stud and the 1/2” diameter brass rod (both approx 1/4” deep) photo #2. Remove the plastic body of the machine connector by loosening the 4 small screws (photo #3). Once the plastic halves are removed, it’s much easier to clamp the brass fitting in a properly sized vice. Next, cut off a piece of the 1/2” diameter brass rod that’s a little over 1/8” long (photo #4). Cut a piece of the 2.5mm rod to make a pin about 1/2” long and slightly taper each end. The 3/32” holes you drilled are slightly smaller than the 2.5mm diameter rod so you will need to use a hammer to gently tap one end of the 1/2” long 2.5mm diameter pin into the 3/32” hole in the machine connector (photo #5). Then tap the 1/8” slice of the 1/2” diameter brass rod onto the 2.5mm pin (photo #6). Then sand the pin and face flush (I used my belt sander with a 220 grit belt) photo #7. The torch comes with a very long gas hose (photo #8). However, if you have a TIG machine with a front mounted gas solenoid valve, it’s a good idea to cut the smaller diameter black gas hose a lot shorter (I cut mine down to around 18” long). Use a dremel cutoff wheel to carefully cut into the metal crimp sleeve (photo #9) and remove the metal sleeve then pull off the hose. You will now have a nice exposed barb connector to work with (photo #10). Cut the hose to your desired shorter length with a scissors, slip on a small oetiker (ear clamp) of the proper size, then push the hose onto the barb connector. Crimp the oetiker clamp and you’re ready to go (photo #11, #12, #13). NOTE: For those not familiar with the gas valve on the torch (photo #14). - First tighten it all the way (clockwise). Then when you turn on the gas, it won’t flow because the valve at the torch is now closed. If you don’t have an on/off gas control solenoid on your TIG machine, you will need to use the gas valve on he torch to turn on and off your gas. However, if you do have an on/off solenoid, then turn the gas valve approximately half way (180 degrees) counterclockwise to open it. Now the gas valve is open and will allow the gas to flow when the machines solenoid valve turns on.

Fits my TIG machine perfectly and works great. Easy to install, stable arc, and very smooth welding. Great quality for the price!

Works great! Happy with my purchase and bonus it was a reasonable price.

Buena calidad
