The WP12 Rigid TIG Torch Body is the ultimate "heavy weight" of the TIG world, engineered for maximum power and continuous duty cycles. This water cooled torch body is a direct replacement for Weldcraft® WP-12 series torches, offering the rugged construction required for high amperage industrial fabrication on thick aluminium, stainless steel, and exotic alloys.
Built to handle up to 500 Amps DC, the WP12 features a high conductivity brass core and optimised water cooling channels that wrap closely around the head to dissipate heat instantly. Unlike smaller torches, the WP12 uses a specialised heavy duty consumable set designed to withstand the thermal stress of sustained high current arcs. The rigid head design provides a rock solid platform for manual welding, ensuring precise electrode alignment even when using large diameter tungsten.
Key Features
500 Amp Capacity: One of the most powerful TIG torch bodies available, designed for the most demanding heavy plate jobs.
Weldcraft® Compatibility: 100% compatible with WP12 series handles, power cables, and specialised large format consumables.
Advanced Water Cooling: High flow internal geometry keeps the torch cool during 100% duty cycle operations at high amperages.
Rigid Construction: The heavy duty head resists warping and mechanical fatigue under extreme heat.
Industrial Insulation: Premium high dielectric silicone rubber coating protects against high frequency (HF) leakage and physical impact.
Optimised Gas Flow: Precision internal porting ensures a stable, laminar shield gas flow for X-ray quality welds.
