Tig Cable connector......

admin

Guys, i am trying to rig up a different tig cable connector for my portable machine, and I am not having much luck finding what i want.  Has anyone seen a female Dinse style connector with the gas thru the center?  Like used on some tig machines?  I have a power block attached to a short cable with a twist lock on it, but I still have to take the time to get out a hose and run it then connect it to the power block, etc.  I was wondering if anyone made a female style connector that I could hook to the portable welder, and would let me switch my tig leads from my shop machine to my engine drive without having to go thru what I do now.   Perhaps I need to just buy a plug for a tig machine and install it in my engine drive somewhere.  What kind of setups do you guys run to hook a tig torch upto an engine drive? ~JacksonI'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......

Reply:They are available.  I have seen them on line.  Female Dinse with a hole for gas.   I just can't remember the site right now, but stay tuned.  I just got my water cooler tonight with a new torch.  Male dinse with a hole in it.  For now, I will insert the dinse into my welder OR the adapter I made and then hook the gas hose to gas, not that big connector block.  I did buy a female dinse but no hole.  I put that on an adapter to a male tweeco twist lock so I can use my shop stuff on my portable machine.  Yeah, I did make a female tweeco to male dinse so I can use my road stuff in the shop.   I have ONE arcair gouge right now so it can be used on both.I will look for the part you are describing because I need one too.  DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:female dinse but no hole.
Reply:What I have is a power block with a small piece of lead and a lc-40 twist connector(female) that will work off the mobile leads or the pigtails on the shop machines.For gas I use the blue (not sure of the Brand)quick connects.That way it takes about 30 seconds to hook or unhook it.

Reply:Got one through the local shop. Use it for the occasional DCEP TIG my Maxstar. Never rigged a gas solenoid for it.
Reply:Miller makes one that has  a hole for water that they use on the dynasty 300dx. dont thank anybody else makes them, had to order mine straight from miller
Reply:Bah, just drill a friggin' hole through a standard adapter.
Reply:My Invertec v350 has a dinse with the gas port IN it.  I went to lincoln and looked at the parts sheet, but Sheet, I couldn't find the part.  Most lincolns have it, like the precison tig and a few of the inverters.I think that would be the best place to look.  For $80.00, I can buy a kit to put a gas solenoid on the v350.  It feeds through the neg dinse, has a gas solenoid and has pre determined post flow.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
