900-26FV - 26 Series Flexible TIG Torch Body with Gas Valve

Versatile 26 Series TIG Torch Body for Precision Applications

The 900-26FV TIG Torch Body is a high-performance replacement component designed to enhance the versatility and control of your welding operations. Engineered for the standard 26 Series air-cooled platform, this torch body integrates two critical features: a flexible neck and a manual gas control valve. This combination makes it an indispensable tool for fabricators who require adaptability in their equipment without sacrificing the robustness associated with the 26 Series architecture.

The primary advantage of this unit is its flexible head (Flex Head). Unlike rigid torch bodies that force the operator into uncomfortable positions to maintain the correct torch angle, the neck of this body can be bent and adjusted to suit the specific geometry of the workpiece. This is particularly beneficial in pipe welding, roll cage fabrication, and maintenance repair operations where access is often restricted. The internal copper tubing is designed to withstand repeated adjustments while maintaining excellent conductivity and gas flow characteristics.

Additionally, the integrated gas valve provides manual control over shielding gas flow directly at the torch. This feature is essential for setups utilizing power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, such as scratch-start TIG configurations on stick welding machines. It allows the operator to open the valve before striking the arc and close it after the post-flow period, ensuring proper shielding without waste. Rated for 200 Amps, this air-cooled body is compatible with all standard 26 Series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups, making it a seamless integration into your existing inventory.

Constructed from high-temperature silicone rubber, the body offers superior resistance to heat and impact, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments. Whether you are upgrading an existing torch or replacing a damaged unit, the 900-26FV delivers the reliability and functionality required for professional-grade welding.
