46V27R - ESAB Heliarc HW-26RV Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 200A, 25ft, with Valve

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled TIG Performance

The ESAB HW-26RV is a premium air-cooled TIG torch designed for welders who require robust performance without the complexity of a water-cooled system. Part of the renowned Heliarc family, this torch is engineered to handle up to 200 amps, making it significantly more capable than standard 17-series torches for welding thicker sections of steel and aluminum. The "RV" designation indicates a rigid 75-degree head with a built-in gas control valve, a critical feature for field applications or when using power sources that do not have an integrated gas solenoid.

This package includes a durable 25-foot rubber power cable, providing excellent flexibility and resistance to abrasion in harsh shop environments. The extended length allows operators to move freely around large workpieces without repositioning the welding machine. The torch body utilizes standard 26-series consumables (10N series collets and bodies), ensuring that replacement parts are easy to find and affordable. Whether you are performing maintenance, repair, or fabrication, the HW-26RV delivers consistent arc stability and operator comfort.

Key Benefits for Industrial Welders

• Manual Gas Control: The fingertip gas valve allows for precise control of shielding gas, reducing waste and enabling use with basic power sources.


• High Amperage Capacity: Rated for 200 amps, allowing for deeper penetration and faster travel speeds on heavy gauge materials.


• Durability: Constructed with high-temperature silicone rubber insulation to prevent leakage and withstand high-frequency voltage.
