Sticky PTM-60 Torch Pins

Does anyone else have a problem with the torch connect pins sticking ? This throws an E04 code on my Everlast. I assume that the Sterling cool additive in the water is splashing and drying in the spring housing. I have to work these loose every now and again even spray with ether to clean them up. I have one stuck now but there has to be a better way. Any ideas?

First you never take the torch head apart. The odds are it may not work after you put it back together.


A little silicon grease on the pins and torch plunger helps to keep this from happening.

I see green corrosion forming on the brass of the torch head this is what is happening to the brass pins and binding them up.

What do you think about adding an Oring

It’s worth a try. I would coat it with some silicone grease to help keep the water out.
