OVERVIEW

High-Performance Replacement Body for 26 Series TIG Torches

The VTR-26 TIG Torch Body is a premium replacement component designed for standard 26-series air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments, this torch body is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle. It serves as the core structural and electrical component of the torch, connecting the power cable to the consumables while directing shielding gas to the weld zone.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloys, the VTR-26 ensures superior electrical conductivity and heat dissipation, which is critical for air-cooled applications where heat management is passive. The exterior is insulated with durable, high-temperature silicone rubber that resists cracking, impact, and high-frequency voltage leakage, ensuring operator safety and equipment longevity. This rigid-style body provides a stable platform for precise electrode manipulation, making it ideal for bench work and general fabrication.

This unit is fully compatible with industry-standard 26-series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and back caps. It features standard threading for seamless integration with existing power cables and handles from major brands like Weldcraft, CK Worldwide, Miller, and Lincoln Electric (check specific thread compatibility). Whether for maintenance, repair, or custom torch assembly, the VTR-26 delivers reliable performance and durability.

FAQ

The VTR-26 is rated for 200 Amps DC and approximately 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle.

This is an air-cooled (gas-cooled) torch body designed for the 26 series platform.

Yes, if your existing torch is a standard 26-series air-cooled model (often labeled WP-26), this body is generally compatible with the handle and cable connections.

No, this is a standard rigid body without a gas valve. If you need a valve for scratch-start TIG, look for a 26V style body.

It uses standard 10N series consumables (collets, collet bodies, ceramic cups) and 57Y series back caps, common to all 17, 18, and 26 series torches.

No, this is a rigid head. Flexible heads are typically designated with an 'F' in the part number (e.g., WP-26F).

Simply disassemble your torch handle, disconnect the power cable from the old body, and thread the new body onto the power cable/gas line connection.

The insulation is made from high-temperature silicone rubber, providing excellent dielectric strength and heat resistance.
