RPWP20RB25 - Parker Style WP-20 Water-Cooled TIG Torch, 250A, 25ft 3-Piece Rubber Cable

Industrial Grade WP-20 TIG Torch Assembly

The RPWP20RB25 is a high-performance TIG welding torch modeled after the industry-standard WP-20 series. Designed for professional fabrication environments, this torch assembly is rated for 250 amps DC and 175 amps AC, making it a versatile tool for welding aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel alloys. The core of this assembly is the water-cooled head, which efficiently dissipates heat, allowing for 100% duty cycles at rated amperages. This thermal management is critical for preventing operator fatigue and maintaining consumable life during long weld runs.

A defining feature of this specific SKU is the 25-foot, 3-piece rubber cable assembly. In the context of industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), the material composition of the cabling is paramount. Rubber offers significantly higher resistance to conductive heat and abrasion compared to standard vinyl or PVC cables. Furthermore, the 3-piece configuration separates the power cable, water return, and gas supply into distinct lines. This modularity simplifies troubleshooting and repair; if a single line is compromised, it can be replaced individually, reducing long-term operational costs compared to mono-cable systems.

The torch head features a rigid "Parker Style" design, known for its reliability and compatibility with standard 20-series consumables (collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups). The compact geometry of the 20-series head is significantly smaller than the air-cooled 26-series or water-cooled 18-series, providing superior visibility and access in restricted spaces such as pipe clusters or internal corner joints. This unit comes complete with the torch body, handle, and the full 25-foot cable set, ready for integration into existing water-cooled TIG setups.

Technical specifications include standard connection threads compatible with most industrial water coolers and power sources, though specific DINSE or stud adapters may be required depending on the welding machine's front panel configuration. The assembly is engineered to meet rigorous safety and performance standards, ensuring stable arc initiation and consistent gas coverage.
