PWP26FX - Parker WP26 Flex Head Air-Cooled TIG Torch Body 200A

Industrial Grade WP26 Flex Head Torch Body

The Parker PWP26FX is a high-performance replacement TIG torch body designed for the widely used 26-series air-cooled platform. Engineered for professional industrial environments, this torch body features a flexible neck mechanism that allows the operator to adjust the angle of the torch head. This capability is critical for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) where weld joint accessibility is often restricted. The unit is rated for a substantial 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it one of the most capable air-cooled options available before transitioning to water-cooled systems.

Constructed from high-conductivity copper alloys and insulated with premium high-temperature silicone rubber, the PWP26FX ensures efficient heat dissipation and electrical transfer. The silicone body offers superior resistance to high-frequency voltage leakage and withstands the harsh thermal cycles inherent in heavy welding applications. Unlike rigid bodies, the internal copper structure of the flex neck is designed to withstand repeated adjustments without work-hardening or fracturing, provided it is bent within manufacturer tolerances.

This torch body is fully compatible with standard industry consumables for the 17, 18, and 26 series (10N/57N series collets, bodies, and cups). It integrates seamlessly with standard power cables and handles designed for the 26-series architecture. For procurement and inventory management, the PWP26FX serves as a direct replacement for generic WP26F models, offering enhanced durability and brand reliability under the Parker Torchology line. It is an essential stock item for fabrication shops handling diverse geometries where standard rigid torches fail to provide adequate electrode angles.
