The ESAB HW-17RV (SKU: 634705R) is a premium air-cooled TIG welding torch designed for professional industrial applications. Part of the renowned Heliarc™ line, this torch is engineered to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments. It is rated at 150 amps DC and 115 amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it suitable for a wide range of light-to-medium duty fabrication tasks involving steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
A key feature of the HW-17RV is the integrated gas control valve located on the torch body. This manual valve provides the operator with direct control over shielding gas flow, which is essential when welding with power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid, such as many stick welders used for scratch-start or lift-arc TIG welding. The valve ensures gas is only flowing when needed, reducing waste and simplifying setup in the field.
The torch is equipped with a 60-degree rigid head, offering a comfortable ergonomic angle for accessing joints while maintaining visibility of the weld pool. It comes with a 12.5-foot (3.8 meter) one-piece rubber power cable. The rubber construction offers superior resistance to heat and abrasion compared to standard vinyl cables, ensuring a longer service life in rough shop conditions. The torch utilizes standard 17-series consumables (collets, collet bodies, nozzles), ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective.
