1 GRASP THE BENEFIT OF VERSATILITY AND MANEUVERABILITY PRO-TORCH TIG TORCHES KEY FEATURES PRO-Torch TIG Torches are used for a variety of applications in aerospace, motorsports, education, power plant construction, job shops, tool and die work, construction sites and production plants. Light and easy to use, these torches give you the power of maximum versatility and maneuverability. Wide range of both air-cooled and water-cooled torches F model torches feature a flexible head for greater comfort and improved access to tight spaces V model torches have a convenient gas valve on the torch to easily control shielding gas flow for power sources that do not have built in gas solenoid valves Processes» TIG Product Number» See back for details Publication E.0 Issue Date 0/6 Lincoln Global Inc.

3 What You Need To Get Started Along with your Pro-Torch TIG torch, you may need to purchase the following accessories to begin welding: TIG Torch Adapter A variety of adapters exist to connect to a variety of output terminals such as / in. (.7 mm) studs, Twist-Mate output terminals and Precision TIG-style connectors. Collets These hold the tungsten firmly in your torch. They are purchased according to the tungsten size and must be used with the proper corresponding collet bodies, or gas lens collet bodies. Collet Bodies and Gas Lens Collet Bodies Collet bodies hold the collet and tungsten in place. Gas lens collet bodies are used in conjunction with gas lenses when precise control of shielding gas flow is required. Alumina Nozzles These nozzles, made of high temperature ceramic material, protect the collet body and direct the gas flow to the weld. Choose them according to the chart on this page 7, for your specific application. Back Cap Each torch comes with one back cap which is sufficient for most applications. PTA-9 and PTW-0 torches include a medium back cap. PTA-7, PTA-6 and PTW-8 torches include a long back cap. The 0H-0-R includes a medium back cap. However, optional longer or shorter back caps are available for each torch. Tungsten Electrode Your welding supplier can provide you with the proper electrode for your application. Use the chart listed below, as a guide for ordering the appropriate tungsten. Parts Kits Parts Kits conveniently provide all the torch accessories you need to start welding. Parts Kits provide collets, collet bodies, a back cap, alumina nozzles and tungstens in a variety of sizes, all packaged in an easy to carry reclosable box.
