WP18V Rigid Torch Body [With Valve]

The Weldcraft compatible WP18V Rigid Torch Body is a heavy duty, water cooled solution designed for industrial TIG welding applications that require high amperage endurance and manual gas management. Rated for 350 Amps, this torch is the standard for thick section fabrication, allowing you to weld at 100% duty cycle without the risk of overheating.

The integrated Gas Valve on the torch neck allows the operator to manually control the shielding gas flow, making this torch ideal for use with power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid or for field applications where precise gas conservation is required. Machined from high conductivity copper and insulated with premium, heat resistant silicone rubber, the WP18V provides superior thermal management and electrical efficiency. Its rigid head design ensures unwavering electrode alignment, providing the stability needed for high spec, X-ray quality welds on aluminium, stainless steel, and heavy alloys.

Key Features

Integrated Gas Control Valve: Allows for manual pre flow and post flow management directly at the torch head.

350A Industrial Capacity: Engineered to handle extreme currents and high duty cycles on heavy gauge materials.

Weldcraft T18/WP18 Compatibility: Direct fit replacement for WP-18V series torches, fitting standard water cooled power cables.

Superior Water Cooling: Advanced internal water jacket protects the head and consumables from thermal deformation during long duration welds.

Rigid Head Stability: The non flexing neck provides the robust feel and precision required for heavy duty industrial fabrication.

Premium Silicone Insulation: Clad in high dielectric silicone that resists heat and prevents high frequency (HF) leakage.
