extended water cooled tig torch qustions

admin

I'm looking to get a longer tig torch setup, it is for my syncrowave 351 I currently have the 350 amp water cooled wp18, but it is only 25ft long,I know it is easier to get a longer extension cord (power cord) but the issue is getting this big machine close enough for the 25ft lead, what length tig torches are recomended? 50ft? 75ft?  and where to get a good price on one?I can make the sheath for it, so that is no issue at allthank you, I need to try and do this soontomMiller Syncrowave 351, PC-300, WP18 Torch, Tec Spot Torch, Stick Hypertherm P/M 1000, 4*8 cnc plasma/router tablemiller 12vs extreme - might sell after 350pThe next lines left empty for more tools, P.S. Don't tell the wife
Reply:weldingsupply.com sells a 25 ft extension kit for water cooled torches. The part number is EK-1- 25R. It comes with a power lead and a "C" size LH thread coupler with an insulating sleeve, a water line and coupler, and an argon hose and coupler. It runs around $100. They say it reduces your duty cycle some, but I have one on an 18 and one on a 20 and have never had heating problems. I'm sure other vendors have similar kits.
