Says on the torch its a LTP 160 it was in a kemppi box im wanting to know what accessories it takes and what the screws do around the switch any help would be good thanks as im just trying to learn tig welding

Is it a water-cooled or air cooled torch?

A picture would also help as regards to your switch question.

A stab in the dark is that it could be an air-cooled 160 amp torch, therefore would take the 17 / 26 sized parts, but it could be anything without knowing more information.

Thanks for replying doesn't matter about the screws on the top
I thought they did something but they just hold the trigger on (dingbat)
But still need to know about the accessories machine says it takes gas cooled
Gun so with it coming with it I'm assuming its gas cooled ill try and post photo thanks

Again I'm only guessing, but that looks like an air-cooled 17 size, so you would want the 17 / 26 sized consumables that being right.

Basically there are 2 main sizes of consumables for the common Tig torches - 9 air-cooled, and 20 water-cooled take the same smaller sized hardware (These are generally smaller, lower amperage torches). Whereas 17 and 26 air-cooled and 18 water-cooled torches take the bigger hardware (These are generally bigger, higher amperage torches). So parts for an 18 sized water-cooled torch will fit a 17 or 26 sized air-cooled and vise versa.

Hope this helps...
