lincoln pt 185 with water cooler?

admin

Has anyone done this conversion?  I was thinking of getting a smaller torch that is water cooled.  My question; is there a special adapter required so that the water cooled torch can fit into my machine?  All the torches I see have a different type of connector.  Or am I not looking at the right torches.Here is a link to the machine I have.  It shows the connection to the machine.http://www.semirca.com/images/lincolne336.pdfThanks.
Reply:I don't know if I personally would looks like it was made with an air cooled torch for a reason, a water cooled torch adds decent weight in the cable so you may lose on the nice cable they used (just going by the add you supplied)
Reply:I am in the process of making my PT 185 water cooled. I have a Bernard cooler and the water cooled torch with 25' of lines is waiting for me at my LWS. You will need an adapter like the one listed below. It allows the gas to pass through the Dinse connector and connections for the cooler lines.http://www.arc-zone.com/index.php?ma...products_id=47Mike
