ZeroLoss™ Double Shut-Off Quick-Release TIG Torch Conversion Kit (Select Quantity of Torches to Convert From Options Above)
Convert your TIG welding system for faster torch changes with no coolant mess and less shielding gas loss.
The Arc-Zone® ZeroLoss™ Double Shut-Off Quick-Release TIG Torch Conversion Kit lets you disconnect and change compatible water-cooled TIG torches without tools. Internal shut-off valves automatically close at both the female couplers and male plugs as soon as they are disconnected.
This helps prevent coolant from draining out of the torch lines, reduces shielding gas loss, and keeps atmospheric air from backfilling disconnected gas hoses.
Choose the Correct Male TIG Gas Hose Plug Size
This conversion kit is available with two different Male TIG Gas Hose Plug sizes. The correct size depends on the TIG torch, gas hose, and welding machine configuration used in your system.
| Male TIG Gas Hose Plug Size | Size Name | Which One Do I Need? |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" (9.5 mm) | Large | Choose this version when your TIG torch or gas hose uses a 3/8" (9.5 mm) male gas hose plug. |
| 3/16" (4.8 mm) | Small | Choose this version when your TIG torch or gas hose uses a 3/16" (4.8 mm) male gas hose plug. |
Important: Large and Small refer specifically to the size of the Male TIG Gas Hose Plug, not the outside size of the ZeroLoss™ quick-disconnect fitting.
Not sure which size you need?
Check or measure the male gas hose plug on your existing TIG torch or gas hose before ordering. The correct size depends on the machine and torch setup being converted.
Why Welders Choose ZeroLoss™
- No Coolant Mess: Double shut-off water connections help stop coolant from draining out of disconnected TIG lines.
- Reduce Shielding Gas Loss: The gas coupler and plug automatically close when separated.
- Faster Torch Changes: Disconnect and reconnect compatible TIG torches without tools.
- Reduce Air Contamination: Helps prevent disconnected gas hoses from backfilling with atmospheric air.
- Expandable System: Convert one welding machine and water cooler, then add connections for multiple torches.
- Save Time and Money: Reduce downtime, coolant cleanup, and wasted shielding gas.
How the Double Shut-Off System Works
- Install the female couplers at the welding machine and water cooler.
- Install the matching male plugs on the TIG torch gas and coolant hoses.
- Connect the torch by inserting each plug into its matching coupler.
- When a connection is released, valves on both sides automatically close.
- Coolant and shielding gas remain contained while the torch is disconnected.
Choose the Number of Torches to Convert
Each kit converts one welding machine and one water cooler. Select the kit based on the total number of TIG torches you want to connect to the ZeroLoss™ system.
For example, the 2T kit includes the torch-side gas and water connections needed for two TIG torches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the two Male TIG Gas Hose Plug sizes?
The kit is available with either a 3/8" (9.5 mm) Large plug or a 3/16" (4.8 mm) Small plug.
How do I know which gas plug size to select?
Choose the size that matches the male gas hose plug used by your TIG torch or welding machine setup. Check or measure the existing plug before ordering.
Does Large or Small refer to the entire quick-disconnect fitting?
No. Large and Small refer specifically to the Male TIG Gas Hose Plug size.
What does 1T, 2T, 3T, or 4T mean?
The number identifies how many TIG torches the kit is equipped to convert. For example, 2T provides the torch-side gas and water connections for two torches.
Does every kit convert the machine and water cooler?
Yes. Each kit includes the couplers needed for one welding machine and one water cooler. The selected kit determines how many torch-side plugs are included.
How does the kit prevent coolant leaks?
The double shut-off water connections automatically close on both sides when disconnected, helping keep coolant inside the system.
How does it reduce shielding gas loss?
The machine-side gas coupler and torch-side gas plug automatically seal when separated.
Can I mix ZeroLoss™ parts with another quick-disconnect brand?
No. ZeroLoss™ parts are designed to connect only with matching Arc-Zone® ZeroLoss™ couplers and plugs.

Easy setup--the kit included extra hose clamps which was great when I bungled one. I can now switch easily between torches without coolant dribbled everywhere.
