FAQs

Q: Can I convert a gas-cooled torch to water-cooled?

A: No – cooling systems are built into the torch design.

Q: How often should I replace coolant in a water-cooled torch?

A: Use distilled water with antifreeze additive and replace every 6–12 months.

Q: Are water-cooled torches safer for long welds?

A: Yes – they prevent overheating, reducing risk of torch damage or weld defects.
