The VTR-17F is a high-performance replacement torch body designed for the widely used 17-series air-cooled TIG torch platform. Engineered for durability and versatility in industrial environments, this torch body features a flexible neck mechanism that allows operators to adjust the angle of the tungsten electrode relative to the handle. This capability is critical in complex fabrication scenarios, such as pipe welding, manifold construction, and repair work inside confined machinery, where a rigid torch head cannot maintain the proper arc angle.
Constructed with high-conductivity copper components and encased in heavy-duty, high-temperature silicone rubber, the VTR-17F ensures reliable current transfer up to 150 Amps (DC) while protecting the user from electrical hazards and heat buildup. The silicone insulation is resistant to cracking and hardening, ensuring a long service life even in demanding shop conditions. The body utilizes standard industry connections, featuring a 3/8-24 RH thread for the power cable, making it a drop-in replacement for WP-17F, SR-17F, and other equivalent models from major manufacturers.
For procurement and maintenance teams, the VTR-17F offers a cost-effective solution for maintaining fleet readiness. Instead of replacing entire torch assemblies when a head is damaged or a specific angle is required, this modular body allows for quick repairs. It is fully compatible with standard 10N series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups, ensuring that existing inventory remains usable. Whether for general fabrication, aerospace, or automotive applications, this flex-head body provides the reliability required for precision TIG welding.
