OVERVIEW

Reliable Replacement Handle for WP-26 TIG Torches

The WCPH-200 TIG Torch Handle is a premium replacement component designed specifically for the industry-standard WP-26 series air-cooled TIG torches. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, torch handles are often subjected to high heat, impact, and general wear and tear. Maintaining the integrity of your torch handle is critical not only for operator comfort but also for safety, as it serves as the primary insulation and protection for the electrically live power cable and gas hose connections housed within.

This particular model features a smooth surface texture, distinguishing it from the traditional ribbed designs found on many OEM torches. The smooth profile is favored by many professional fabricators for its ergonomic benefits, allowing the operator to easily slide their hand along the barrel to adjust their grip distance from the arc without friction or resistance. This subtle difference can significantly enhance control during intricate welding maneuvers where hand positioning must be fluid and precise.

Constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant polymers, the WCPH-200 is engineered to withstand the thermal cycles associated with 200-amp air-cooled applications. It provides a secure enclosure for the torch body and cable assembly, preventing accidental contact with conductive surfaces. Installation is straightforward, designed to mate perfectly with standard WP-26 torch bodies, ensuring a tight and secure fit that restores your equipment to optimal working condition. Whether you are repairing a cracked unit or customizing your setup for better ergonomics, this handle delivers the durability and performance required for professional use.

FAQ

This handle is specifically designed for the WP-26 series, which is an air-cooled torch. Water-cooled torches like the WP-18 or WP-20 typically require different handle sizes to accommodate water lines, although some large-body handles are interchangeable. Please verify your specific torch model before ordering.

A smooth handle allows the welder to easily slide their hand up and down the torch body to adjust their grip and balance without the friction or 'locking' feel of ribs. This is often preferred for positional welding or 'walking the cup'.

No, this product is the replacement handle (shell) only. It does not include the torch head, power cable, or internal consumables.

Installation typically involves sliding the handle over the rear of the cable assembly and securing it to the torch body. Depending on the specific torch design, it may snap on or require a retaining screw.

The handle is manufactured from a high-impact, heat-resistant polymer designed to withstand the thermal output of a 200A air-cooled welding process.

Generally, no. The WP-17 is a smaller air-cooled torch (150A) and usually uses a smaller handle. The WP-26 is a larger 200A torch. Always check your torch series number.

This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement part designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment.

No, this is a standard smooth handle. It does not have built-in switches or potentiometers, although it can often be used with strap-on controls.
