Safety wire for tig torch?

admin

I assume it's safety wire, but where can I get safety wire for the lines on my tig torch? I tried to re-use the old ones and they broke. Or does anyone have a better idea on what to use, because it's a pain to deal with?Last edited by Gamble; 08-10-2014 at 09:47 PM.Torchmate 2x2 CNC with Flashcut CNC controlsHypertherm Powermax45 Esab ET220i Razorweld 195 MigRazorweld 200ac/dc TigTormach 770, Tormach xstechRazorweld, Vipercut/Vipermig, SSC Foot Pedal Dealer

Reply:Those are the wires for the vinyl hoses? Any LWS can order a bag of them for you.

Reply:That's a good idea, but I don't think I have any of that laying around. I'm really wanting to use a clamp. This stupid blue hose is larger than the black so I can't swap on a torch with knurled fittings. It's been a pain in the ***!Torchmate 2x2 CNC with Flashcut CNC controlsHypertherm Powermax45 Esab ET220i Razorweld 195 MigRazorweld 200ac/dc TigTormach 770, Tormach xstechRazorweld, Vipercut/Vipermig, SSC Foot Pedal Dealer
Reply:Are you talking about the hoses that go to and from the torch/tig unit?Use zip ties? Or purchase a velcro type hose cover to keep them tidy.If you are asking about something else, my bad lol
