MW26V-25R - 200A Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 26 Series Flex Head with Valve, 25ft Cable

Heavy-Duty 200A Air-Cooled TIG Torch for Industrial Applications

The Bestweld VTR26V-25R is a robust 26-series TIG torch designed for welders who require power, reach, and versatility in a single package. Rated at 200 amps, this air-cooled torch is capable of handling heavier gauge materials without the complexity or expense of a water-cooling system. It is an excellent choice for field fabrication, pipe welding, and maintenance repair operations where portability is paramount.

One of the standout features of this model is the flexible head. Unlike rigid torches, the neck of this torch can be bent to various angles, allowing the operator to maintain the optimal tungsten angle even in tight corners or obstructed spaces. This reduces operator fatigue and improves weld quality in difficult positions. Additionally, the torch is equipped with a manual gas control valve on the body. This feature is essential for power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, such as engine drives or stick welders used for scratch-start or lift-arc TIG welding. It gives the welder direct control over shielding gas flow at the torch.

The assembly includes a durable 25-foot, 1-piece rubber power cable. The 1-piece design combines the power conductor and gas hose into a single line, reducing bulk and weight compared to 2-piece systems. This extended length provides a significant working radius, allowing movement around large assemblies without constantly repositioning the welding machine. The torch utilizes standard Series 3 (10N/57N) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts like collets, collet bodies, and alumina cups are readily available and affordable.
