Will this machine accept the WP26 series of air-cooled torches? If not, which air-cooled torch would be the best to get and where can I get it?

Yes, you can use WP-26 torches with this unit.Best place I found to get the torch you want with the correct connector for the 250EX welder is www.usaweld.com

Most tanks have both connection types. Look inside the OPD & see if there is threads inside also. If not, it won't fit, but tou can exchange your empty tank for a full one for about $20 at many stores - one which has both connection types.The torch does not use an external regulator.

Yes, it has an air cooled TIG torch. It is capable of doing some really nice work and I am very happy with mine. If you get one, My suggestion is to take it to someone who knows what they are doing and get them to give you a little instruction. When I got mine, I wasn't as impressed until I saw the welding that my friend could do with my LTPAC2500, and I love the plasma cutter.

The trigger allows the gas to flow; so, my guess would be yes you could in a pinch. I strongly agree with Kieth. Don't use a malfunctioning torch! Also, you could call Bernz O Matic at 1-800-654-9011 and ask them.

Other torches can be used with the PowerTig. You need to get the correct connector which is available from a number of vendors. Finding the correct gas connector is slightly harder. Other option for the gas is to get a torch that has the valve on the torch head. This will permit you to turn on and off the shielding gas.

You should probably go to their website and get it as you probably want to keep the infrared feature. http://www.charbroil.com/replacement-parts/grill-parts/trough.html Tip: If you assemble it yourself, be sure to put the side panel with the triangle bracket for the ignitor on the top-right-front. The first drawings show it on the top-left-back which is wrong.

Yes you can. There are 2 things that happen when you pull the trigger, the piezo lighter snaps as a plunger allows the gas to flow. The gas only flows if both the trigger is pressed and the valve opened. Bernzomatic will not repair these and does not sell replacement parts. I've fixed mine once in 5 years, mostly crud around the igniter and spring. You have to be careful on reassembly to get the wires to contact correctly so the spark ignites in the small brass tube for that purpose. Easy to take apart, IIRC loosen the yellow button's allen screw, there is a spring and the 2 piece pieze igniter that has the wire that goes into the brass tube, IIRC the lock button is also held with the same allen screw. Keith how do you "blow up" torches a few times? Seriously?

Yep, just get a mid-level regulator and you will be good! I went with a 7psi regulator and can create a ridiculously large flame.

The torch works well, so does a small plumbing torch. Keep it moving and keep the flame away from the surface. Not recommended for amateurs. You can also blow on the surface. It's NOT the heat that releases the bubbles, it's the Carbon Dioxide.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

Yes, it does. In fact it uses the same tips as a popular US torch. I especially like the handle on the torch which makes it easier to manipulate, especially after using it for an extended period and it starts heating up as air cooled TIG torches do. I read a previous answer and yes its directions could be improved, however it has a lot of versatility and is really capable of doing a lot more than higher priced machines. In my opinion, its capabilities more than offsets any deficiencies. I have been welding for over 50 years and have never come across this versatile of a machine. Happy welding. Yes, it does.

It is a nice little torch. I did have a small problem with number 4 tip threading onto the end of the torch. They sent me a torch right out and this one works great, no problems whatsoever.

sorry mate, i work here in Dubai, i don't expect a warranty since i purchased it in Amazon US. for the price of 28usd, not bad for an underwater torch. i purchased 4 of these because it was obvious that some may be faulty since it is made in china.

My unit is marked model WP-100W/C. I rarely use it since the water stream is very weak compared to the normal one without the narrow tip.The water stream is very focused, however, and this may be of value for certain needs.

Size 17. It's a decent quality torch. Haven't had any problems. I have a CK Stubby Gas Lens setup on mine, does great!

It'll probably be advertised at around 700+ lumens. Most all china made torches are rated higher than they really are. My unprofessional realistic opinion would be around 200 lumens.

Yes I am using the torch from miller .parts u get five year warranty and labor
