I mentioned this phenomenon in my <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/2013\/12\/18\/report-welding-industry-fabtech-2013\/\">Report from FABTECH<\/a>:\u00a0<strong>everyone<\/strong> seems to be selling their own brand of welding machines. Of course there are tons of options to buy used machines as well. And it can get confusing when you\u2019re ready to hook up your brand new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_727\">Weldcraft TIG welding torch <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728\">CK Worldwide TIG torch<\/a>\u2026 what connectors will you need?<\/p>\n<p>At Arc-Zone.com we make it easy\u2026 just follow these simple steps:<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Know Your Welding Machine<\/h2>\n<p>Older power supplies utilize a threaded stud terminal to bolt the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13\">TIG welding torch <\/a>onto the machine while newer welding machines utilize a Dinse connector which is a twist-locking quick disconnect system. Dinse connectors come in two sizes: a small with a 3\/8\u2033 (9.5mm) diameter pin size, and large Dinse connector with a pin size of 1\/2\u2033 (12.7mm) in diameter. Some machines allow for a Gas Through Dinse connection that allows your torch\u2019s shield gas supply to flow through the Dinse connector\u2014no need for an additional gas connection. The gas flows from your tank and flowmeter\/regulator through the machine to the connector and into the torch. Some power supplies use a Tweco type (also called American style) split pin connector that also twists and locks into place.<\/p>\n<p>Consult your welding machine manual to know which connector type you have. Or, if you no longer have your manual, contact the manufacturer directly and have ready your machine\u2019s model and serial number.<\/p>\n<h2>Know Your TIG Welding Torch<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728_907_2148\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5574\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/fl_1.jpg\" alt=\"Flex-Loc TIG Welding torch from CK\" width=\"201\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/fl_1.jpg 335w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/fl_1-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>Different TIG torches have different TIG torch adapter connections at the machine end. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728_908_1550\">water cooled TIG torch like the 300 Amp CK230 <\/a>has a 7\/8\u201d x 14 left-hand threaded male fitting on the end of the power\/water return line. Generally an air-cooled TIG torch rated 200 amps or above has a 7\/8\u201d x 14 right-hand threaded male fitting and an air-cooled torch rated 150 amps or below has a 3\/8\u201d x 24 right-hand threaded male fitting on the end. Some specialty torches like the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728\"> CK TrimLine series<\/a> use a \u201cB\u201d size 5\/8\u201d x 18 right-hand thread. While these fittings may look like parts you can buy at your local hardware store, they are unique to the welding industry and available through welding suppliers only.<\/p>\n<h2>Standardize Your Connections<\/h2>\n<p>If you upgrade your machine to accept a Dinse style connector it\u2019ll be easier to switch from one torch to another, you\u2019ll standardize your connections to allow for different applications at different times or accommodate different shifts. Even a small fab shop will want to be able to use different torches on the same welding machine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_673_679\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/azc-scip\/categories\/caticon_connectors_watercooledtig.jpg\" alt=\"Water Cooled TIG torch DINSE connector\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>With the Dinse connectors you don\u2019t need tools to change your torch, and all your torches will connect the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the connection is insulated with a rubber or plastic boot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_673_675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/azc-scip\/categories\/Machine_Connectors_caticon.jpg\" alt=\"TIG Torch to welding machine Adaptors\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>If your welding machine has a threaded stud connector, you can buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_673_675\">stud-to-Dinse female converter<\/a>. The Tweco style connection can also be upgraded to utilize a Dinse style plug with an adapter that mounts onto the machine as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Quick Release Gas And Water Hose Couplers<\/h2>\n<p>Standard gas and water hoses require a wrench to tighten the mechanical connection. If you\u2019re in the field or in the shop and need to change torches frequently, this can be a pain in the neck. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_673_682\">Quick-release hose couplers for your TIG torch<\/a>\u00a0 allow you to change torches without tools. These quick-release couplers thread onto the male fitting at the end of your gas and water hoses then mate to a corresponding female adapter mounted on your water cooler or gas connection. They connect by twisting and locking into place.<\/p>\n<p>For welding in the field, choose the heavy-duty gas hose couplers for just a couple dollars more.<\/p>\n<p>I did some how-to videos on hooking up your TIG torch to your machine a while back that may be helpful:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLYJY8zATltMqYCliQZsm-LGLlLgucLdLS\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nWe\u2019ve also seen some new connectors on the market and I\u2019ll be posting an article about those soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure what type of adapter you need, give Arc-Zone.com a call toll free, 800-944-2243 (US) or 1-760-931-1500 (worldwide).
