RPWP17VFXRB12 - Parker WP17 Flex-Head TIG Torch with Gas Valve - 12.5ft Cable

Professional Grade Parker WP17 TIG Torch

The Parker WP17 Flex Head TIG Torch with Valve is a premium welding tool designed for professionals who demand versatility and reliability in their equipment. Engineered by Parker, a leader in welding torch technology, this unit combines the lightweight maneuverability of the standard 17-series torch with advanced features that solve common fabrication challenges. The torch is rated for 150 amps, making it suitable for a wide range of light-to-medium duty welding applications on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

One of the standout features of this model is the flexible neck (Flex Head). Unlike rigid torches that force the welder into uncomfortable positions, the neck of this torch can be adjusted and bent to the optimal angle. This allows for superior visibility and electrode positioning when welding in corners, around pipes, or inside confined machinery. Coupled with the 12.5-foot rubber power cable, operators have the freedom to move around their workspace without being tethered too closely to the power source.

This model also includes a built-in gas control valve on the torch body. This feature is critical for welders using power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, such as during scratch-start or lift-arc TIG welding with stick welding machines. It puts total control of the shielding gas flow directly at the welder's fingertips, ensuring gas is only used when needed and reducing waste. Whether you are a pipe welder, a maintenance technician, or a fabricator, the Parker WP17 Flex Head Torch delivers the performance and adaptability required for high-quality welds.

Key Benefits:

• Versatility: The flex head adapts to the job, not the other way around.
• Control: Manual gas valve enables TIG welding on basic power sources.
• Durability: High-quality rubber cable resists abrasion and heat.
• Compatibility: Uses industry-standard consumables available everywhere.
