CK Worldwide® FL230 FlexLoc™ 230 Amp Water-Cooled TIG Torch (Choose Options From Above)

Compact water-cooled TIG performance with 360° variable-angle positioning.
The CK Worldwide® FL230 FlexLoc™ is a professional 230 Amp water-cooled TIG torch designed for welders who need greater access, control, and flexibility around difficult weld joints. The FlexLoc™ system allows the torch head to be positioned through 360°, helping you adjust the torch around corners, obstructions, tubing, and other restricted welding areas.

Rated at 230 Amps ACHF or DCSP at 100% duty cycle, the FL230 combines high-duty-cycle water cooling with a compact 2 Series / 20-style torch head.

Why Welders Choose the FlexLoc™ FL230

• 360° Variable-Angle Positioning: Adjust the torch head to improve access to difficult weld joints.
• 230 Amp Water-Cooled Performance: Built for demanding TIG welding applications.
• 100% Duty Cycle: Rated at 230 Amps ACHF or DCSP at 100% duty cycle.
• Compact 2 Series Head: Uses a 20-style head for a smaller front-end profile.
• Lightweight Torch Body: Only 5 oz. (141g) with the head installed.
• Multiple Package Options: Choose the torch body, body with handle, or a complete torch package.

Choose the Right FL230 Configuration

Important: The CK-FLWB and CK-FLTBAW configurations do not include a torch head. Torch heads are sold separately.

The CK-FL2312SF and CK-FL2325SF complete torch packages include the 2 Series head, CK-200H handle, and SuperFlex power, water, and gas hoses.

Complete Torch Package Includes

• CK Worldwide® FL230 FlexLoc™ Torch Body
• 2 Series / 20-Style Torch Head
• CK-200H Handle
• SuperFlex Power Cable
• SuperFlex Water Hose
• SuperFlex Gas Hose
• Choice of 12.5' (3.8m) or 25' (7.6m) cable/hose length depending on selected model

360° FlexLoc™ Positioning

The FlexLoc™ system allows the torch head to be repositioned around the torch body instead of limiting the welder to a traditional fixed torch angle. This makes it easier to adapt the torch to the workpiece instead of forcing your hand and wrist into an uncomfortable welding position.

• Improve access to restricted weld joints
• Position the head around workpiece obstructions
• Improve torch angle and weld visibility
• Reduce awkward hand and wrist positioning
• Quickly adapt the torch for different welding positions

FL230 vs. FL250

Choose the FL230 when you want the smaller 2 Series / 20-style head with a lighter torch body and up to 230 Amp capacity.

Choose the FL250 when your application requires up to 250 Amps and the larger 3 Series / 18-style head.

Electrode Capacity

The FL230 supports tungsten electrodes from .020" (0.5mm) through 1/8" (3.2mm) when configured with the appropriate 2 Series consumables.

Ideal Applications

• Precision TIG welding
• Restricted-access weld joints
• Pipe and tube fabrication
• Aerospace fabrication
• Automotive and motorsports fabrication
• Stainless steel fabrication
• Production TIG welding
• Applications requiring compact 2 Series consumables

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the FL230 different from a standard TIG torch?
The FlexLoc™ design provides 360° variable-angle head positioning, allowing you to reposition the head for better access and a more comfortable welding position.
