Questions about this item

Will the PTA-17 Twist Mate adapter connect my PTA-9 torch to a K1728-12 welder?

Yes, the kit is listed for PTA-9 torches and for welder model K1728-12, so that combination is supported.

How can I confirm the adapter is seated correctly after installation?

The Twist Mate design locks with a quarter-turn; you will feel a positive detent and the torch body will not rotate when tugged gently.

Does the K1622-1 kit include the torch or only the adapter parts?

The kit supplies the Twist Mate adapter components only; the TIG torch itself must be purchased separately.
