OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Water-Cooled TIG Solution

The Miller Weldcraft W-350 Valve TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-18 Series) is a premier solution for heavy-industrial welding applications requiring sustained high-amperage output. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of manufacturing, pipe fabrication, and shipbuilding, this water-cooled torch system effectively manages heat build-up, allowing for continuous operation without overheating. The W-350 is rated at 350 Amps DC and 250 Amps AC, making it one of the most capable hand-held torches in the Weldcraft lineup.

This specific configuration, the WP-18V-25-R, is distinguished by its built-in manual gas control valve. This feature is critical for operators working with welding power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid, or for specific field applications where direct control over shielding gas flow is required at the torch handle. The valve allows the welder to easily open and close gas flow with a fingertip, ensuring proper shielding without waste.

Durability is a core component of the W-350 design. The package includes a 25-foot heavy-duty braided rubber power cable which offers superior resistance to abrasion and hot surfaces compared to standard vinyl cables. This ensures a longer service life in harsh shop environments. The torch body itself is engineered to be rugged yet ergonomic, featuring a handle design that promotes operator comfort and reduces fatigue during long shifts. The unique cooling passage design within the head maximizes thermal transfer, protecting internal components and consumables from heat stress.

The package arrives ready to integrate into your existing water-cooled setup, complete with the torch body, handle, long back cap, and all necessary hoses (power, water, and gas). It utilizes standard Series 3 (10N series) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective. For facilities demanding reliability and high-performance output, the Weldcraft W-350 Valve is the industry standard.

FAQ

There is no functional difference. Weldcraft renamed the WP-18 series to the W-350 series to better reflect the amperage rating. The parts and consumables remain interchangeable.

Yes, the W-350 is a water-cooled torch. Operating it without coolant flowing will quickly destroy the power cable and torch head.

The manual valve allows the operator to control shielding gas flow directly at the torch. This is necessary for power sources that do not have a built-in gas solenoid valve.

It uses standard 3 Series (10N series) consumables, which are the same as those used on WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches.

The W-350 is rated for 100% duty cycle at 350 Amps DC and 250 Amps AC, provided proper water cooling is maintained.

This specific package (WP-18V-25-R) comes with a high-durability braided rubber power cable.

No, tungsten electrodes and front-end consumables (collets, nozzles) are sold separately or in accessory kits.

Yes, it is rated for 250 Amps AC output.
