The Weldcraft W-225 Pencil TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-20P Series) is a specialized industrial tool designed to solve the most challenging accessibility problems in TIG welding. Engineered for high-precision industries such as aerospace, motorsports, and heavy manufacturing, this torch features a unique straight "pencil" style head. Unlike standard angled torches, the W-225 allows the operator to extend the tungsten electrode into deep recesses, narrow piping, and complex metal assemblies without the torch body obstructing the view or the arc. This package, identified by SKU WP-20P-25, comes complete with a 25-foot (7.6 meter) cable assembly, providing ample reach for working around large fixtures and airframes.
Despite its compact and slender profile, the W-225 is a powerhouse capable of handling significant amperage. It is rated for 225 Amps DC and 160 Amps AC, making it suitable for welding aluminum, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. The key to this performance is Weldcraft's "around-the-head" water-cooling technology. By circulating coolant directly around the torch head, the W-225 prevents overheating even during prolonged welding cycles. This thermal management not only protects the operator's hands from excessive heat but also significantly extends the lifespan of the torch body and consumables, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in high-volume production environments.
This product is supplied as a complete torch package. It includes the W-225 pencil torch body, a comfortable ribbed handle for secure grip, and a 3-piece vinyl cable assembly consisting of a power cable, water hose, and gas hose. The vinyl material offers a balance of flexibility and durability, resisting abrasion in shop environments. The torch utilizes standard 2-Series consumables (compatible with WP-20 parts), ensuring that replacement collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are readily available and cost-effective. Whether you are repairing a railcar component or fabricating a custom exhaust header, the W-225 provides the control and reliability required for defect-free welds.
