Overview
The Arcair 94-433-183 insulator assembly is a replacement insulator and screw assembly manufactured for use with Arcair’s K4000 Extreme Angle-Arc manual gouging torch system. This component plays a critical role in torch performance by insulating the torch body from the work piece, permitting lower operating temperatures and preventing thermal damage during air carbon arc cutting and gouging operations.
Key Features
- Includes insulator and mounting screws for direct installation
- Reduces torch operating temperature to avoid overheating during extended use
- Improves nozzle seal integrity and performance
- Compatible with multiple K4000 torch models across the Arcair lineup
- Suitable for air carbon arc cutting and gouging (CAC-A) processes
