There’s more than one reason that WeldTec’s Rocker torch kits are known as the “pipe welder’s dream”.

The patented Rocker cable connection allows the torch body to rock back and forth on the power cable without binding or twisting.

Not only does this unrestrained rocking motion reduce tension and fatigue on the welder’s hand and wrist (allowing for longer weld cycles and less downtime) the rocking motion is ideal for walking the cup.

The key component of the Rocker kit is a swivel connector between the torch and the power cable. This allows the torch to move around freely without twisting up or putting tension on the cable so it stays stationary.

In addition, the Rocker rubber power cable provides 30 more welding amps than standard 9 and 17 model 150A cables.

It’s easy to see how the Rocker torch kits take the stress out of pipe and tube welding.

• No more cable binding or twisting
• Precise torch control
• Less hand and wrist fatigue
• Ideal for walking the cup
• Flex neck and gas valve models

WeldTec’s Rocker torch kits come in 9 or 17 models, with optional flex heads and/or valves, with heavy-duty power cables in 12.5 foot and 25 foot lengths.

For field welders, consider adding WeldTec’s TIGrig quick cable connector, which works with air cooled torches and standard rubber power cables. The TIGrig has a standard 5/8 RH inert gas hose connection and Tweco® style plug.
