Flexlite K5 Torches FAQs

Answers for buyers of air-cooled and water-cooled MIG/MAG torches with a Euro connector and a hose package: choosing, coolant, set-up and care.

What should I check before starting each day on a water-cooled torch?

Check that the torch is securely connected, that the hose package and torch neck show no damage, bends or impact marks, and that the coolant level is adequate. Make sure the liner suits the wire material and diameter you are about to use.

Allow time for the coolant to fill the system before you weld at high current, and look for leaks at the hose connections. If the cooler gives a flow or temperature warning, stop welding and find the cause before carrying on.

How should I look after the hose package and cable?

Lay it out loosely and avoid sharp bends, crushing and pulling. Tight bends raise friction on the wire and wear the liner faster, and a crushed or kinked hose can restrict gas flow or coolant flow.

Choose a length that suits the job, because a package that is too short is strained and one that is much too long adds wear and drag. Do not run trolleys or vehicles over it, and do not use it to pull the torch around. Check it for cuts and kinks as part of your pre-use inspection.

Why do consumables wear faster at high current, and what can I do about it?

At high current the front end of the torch runs hotter and sees more spatter and heat, so the nozzle, contact tip and diffuser wear sooner. An overloaded torch will overheat the nozzle in particular, so use a torch whose rating is suited to your current and duty cycle.

Keep the nozzle clear of spatter, keep every front-end part tight, and replace worn parts promptly. For abrasive wires or heavy loads, ask your supplier or the maker about harder contact tip materials.

How do I know when a contact tip needs replacing?

Look at the tip rather than counting hours. Replace it when the bore has worn oval, is clogged, or the tip is discoloured from overheating. A worn tip often shows up as a wandering arc, extra spatter or burnback.

Fit the correct bore for the wire diameter, tighten it firmly with a suitable tool so it seats flat on the holder, and blow out the wire path with compressed air when you change it. There is no need to change a tip that is still in good condition just because it has been in use for a while.
