    Kemppi Flexlite TX K3 Torches - 4 Pin FAQs

    Answers to common questions about choosing, connecting and looking after 4-pin TIG torches, including scratch start versions with a gas valve.

    What is a scratch start torch with a gas valve, and when do I need one?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A scratch start torch has a manual gas valve in the torch body and a simple connector instead of a control plug. You use it with a stick (MMA) welding machine. Open the valve to start the shielding gas, then strike the arc by scratching or touching the tungsten on the work. It is designed for equipment that cannot control gas for you.

    Scratch start can contaminate the tungsten and weld, so it is not recommended for critical welds. If your machine has a TIG torch socket and gas control, a standard torch without a valve is normally the better match. Check which ignition methods your machine supports.

    What is the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled torches at this level?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Air-cooled torches use the shielding gas and surrounding air for cooling, so they are lighter and need no extra equipment. Water-cooled torches connect to a cooling unit and generally carry higher current for longer, with a lighter, more flexible cable.

    A water-cooled torch typically has a control plug, a welding cable that also carries the coolant return, a coolant supply hose and a separate gas hose, though the layout varies between makers, so you need to plug in every one. Choose from the current and duty cycle you need, using the figures on the torch data plate rather than a general rule.

    Why does a water-cooled torch have a separate gas connector and two coolant hoses?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A water-cooled torch typically has a control plug, a welding cable that also carries the coolant return, a coolant supply hose and a separate gas hose, though the layout varies between makers. The gas is supplied separately from the coolant circuit.

    Make sure each coolant hose goes to its correct connector, because if the connections are crossed the torch and torch body may overheat. Tighten the connectors as the manual says. Loose connectors can overheat, cause poor contact and lead to water or gas leaks. Always read the connection steps in your torch and cooling unit instructions.

    Can I adjust welding current from the torch handle?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Not on every torch. Many torches have a simple ON/OFF start switch on the handle, and how that switch behaves (for example 2T or 4T operation) depends on your welding machine's settings. Current adjustment from the handle is only possible on torches with a remote-type control in the handle, and basic 4-pin versions often do not have it.

    If you want to change current while welding, check the specification of the torch you are considering, or plan to use a separate foot or hand remote control on a machine that supports one. Our team can help you choose.
