Description
High-Purity Gas Solenoid Upgrade Kit
The factory installed gas delivery system in your TIG welding machine consists of permeable rubber hoses, a low-cost plastic gas solenoid and spring type hose clamps. Located under the machine cover they are "out of sight -- out of mind" and have been proven to leak shield gas and draw moisture and atmosphere contamination into the TIG torch!
The JW Signature Series High-Purity Gas Supply Kit™ is an end-to-end gas supply upgrade kit from the regulator to the front panel of your machine. We engineered it with high-quality stainless steel compression fittings, high density, non-permeable gas tubing and precision stainless steel gas solenoid. The kit includes everything needed for the installation, and can be installed in minutes.
All components are made in U.S.A.
