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.
