Overview

Meet the TORCH K6RTC spark plug, engineered to ignite with reliability across a broad spectrum of small engines, from walk‑behind mowers to riding mowers. Drawing on TORCH's long history in spark plug manufacturing, this plug blends sturdy construction with precise tolerances to support consistent ignition under varied conditions. The metal shell and ceramic insulator are designed for heat resistance and corrosion protection, delivering a dependable spark when you need it most.

TORCH traces its roots to 1961 with Zhuzhou Torch Spark Plug Co., Ltd. and has grown into a leading global producer and R&D hub. The company was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1993 and expanded in 2003 by incorporating key manufacturing equipment and patents from Delphi U.S.A.
