About Flex Head TIG Torches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The flex-head TIG torch allows you to personalize the torch head angle for the welding job, your workstation, and your welding style. To save time and money, you\u2019ll want to follow some simple steps so your torch doesn\u2019t fail prematurely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Your Flex Head Torch for the First Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know it\u2019s tempting to start bending your new flexible TIG torch the minute your box arrives from Arc-Zone, but don\u2019t do it without following these instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

  1. To get the most life out of the torch Never<\/em><\/strong> bend your torch when it’s cold!<\/li>
  2. Heat up the torch body before you flex it by striking a couple of arcs.  This will warm up the copper coils inside the torch body and keep them from “work hardening” which will lead to cracked tubes and water or gas leaks.<\/li>
  3. Once warmed up, you are ready for bending.  The flexible coil area, is generally located between where the handle starts to about 1\/2″ before the head.<\/li>
  4. Do not twist the torch from side to side. This action will cause the coiled tubes to unwind and most likely twist off the head.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
