The Parker AWP 17 Flex Head TIG Torch is a robust and versatile welding tool designed for professional fabrication environments. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial TIG welding, this torch features a flexible neck (Flex Head) that can be adjusted to various angles, providing superior access to complex joints and confined spaces that standard rigid torches cannot reach. This flexibility significantly enhances the welder's ability to maintain the correct torch angle and arc length, resulting in higher quality welds and reduced defect rates.
Rated at 150 Amps DC and 115 Amps AC (at 35% duty cycle), the AWP 17 is an air-cooled torch, making it an excellent choice for field applications and workshops where water-cooling infrastructure is not available or required. The 12.5-foot cable assembly offers a practical balance between reach and manageability, suitable for bench work and medium-sized fabrication projects. This specific model utilizes a 2-piece cable configuration, which typically separates the power conductor from the gas supply, a setup often required by specific power sources or for users preferring distinct line management.
Parker torches are renowned for their build quality and ergonomic design. The handle is shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing operator fatigue during long welding shifts. Furthermore, the AWP 17 series is fully compatible with standard 17, 18, and 26 series consumables (10N series collets, collet bodies, and ceramic cups), ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and cost-effective. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this torch delivers consistent arc stability and reliable performance.
