Arcair Thermadyne 01-082-002 Gouging Torch K4000

The Arcair Thermadyne Gouging Torch K4000, part number 01-082-002, is a CAC‑A manual gouging torch head designed for heavy metal removal in the Arcair K4000 gouging system. It operates in a broad amperage range up to 1,000 A (typical ratings list 90–1,000 A for the K4000 family), enabling aggressive gouging and edge prep for welds and joints. This listing is the torch head itself and is sold without a cable; a separate cable assembly is required to connect it to the power source and CAC‑A system. For electrode compatibility, K4000 torches are designed to use standard CAC‑A electrodes in common sizes, including 5/32 in to 1/2 in round electrodes (4.0–12.7 mm) and up to 5/8 in flat electrodes, supporting a variety of gouging tasks. Typical applications span heavy metal removal, weld repair and prep work, groove cleaning, and contour gouging in fabrication, shipyard, and structural settings where high‑amperage CAC‑A gouging is needed. This K4000 head is part of Arcair’s long‑standing lineup of manual gouging torches, known for robust performance in demanding CAC‑A tasks.
