RPWP26RB12 - WP-26V Air Cooled TIG Torch with Valve and 12.5ft Rubber Cable

Heavy-Duty 26V Series TIG Torch Assembly

The RPWP26RB12 is a complete replacement TIG torch assembly designed for industrial applications requiring robust performance and reliability. Modeled after the industry-standard WP-26 series, this torch is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it one of the most capable air-cooled torches available. The 'V' designation indicates the presence of a manual gas control valve located on the torch body, a critical feature for welding power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, such as those used in scratch-start or lift-arc TIG setups.

This assembly features a 12.5-foot power cable manufactured from high-grade rubber. Unlike vinyl or PVC alternatives, rubber cables maintain flexibility in cold environments and offer superior resistance to cuts, abrasion, and heat, significantly extending the service life of the unit in demanding shop conditions. The torch utilizes standard 10N and 57N series consumables (collets, collet bodies, nozzles, and back caps), ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective. The rigid head design provides a stable platform for precise electrode manipulation, while the air-cooled architecture simplifies setup by removing the need for auxiliary water cooling equipment.

Engineered for compatibility, this torch can be adapted to virtually any welding machine with the correct power block or adapter. It is an ideal solution for maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks where higher amperage is required without the complexity of a water-cooled system.
