WP26V Rigid Torch Body [With Valve]

The Weldcraft compatible WP26V Rigid Torch Body is the industry standard for high amperage, air cooled TIG welding. Rated for 200 Amps, this torch is engineered to handle the thermal stress of heavy fabrication without the need for a complex water cooling system. It is the go to solution for pipe welding, structural steel, and industrial maintenance.

The integrated Gas Valve is the standout feature of the WP26V. It allows the operator to manually control the shielding gas flow directly at the torch neck. This makes it a "plug and play" solution for welders using power sources without an internal gas solenoid (standard on many portable Stick/Arc machines). Built with a high conductivity copper core and insulated with rugged, heat stabilised silicone rubber, the WP26V offers a perfect blend of electrical efficiency and physical durability. Its rigid head design ensures maximum stability, providing the firm control needed for walking the cup on heavy wall pipe or laying down high spec beads on thick plate.

Key Features
