RPWP26VRB25 - Weldcraft WP-26V Style Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 200A, 25ft, 1-Piece Rubber Cable

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled Performance

The Weldcraft WP-26V style TIG torch is engineered for welders who demand reliability and power in a portable, air-cooled package. Rated at 200 amps DC and 150 amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, this torch is the industry standard for heavy-duty handheld TIG welding applications. The 'V' designation indicates the inclusion of a manual gas control valve directly on the torch body, providing the operator with precise control over shielding gas flow. This feature is particularly critical for field applications or when utilizing power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid, such as engine drives or stick welders adapted for TIG processes.

Constructed with a robust torch body, the WP-26V is designed to withstand the thermal stresses of high-amperage welding without compromising operator comfort. The torch utilizes standard 10N series consumables, ensuring that replacement parts like collets, collet bodies, and alumina cups are readily available and cost-effective. This model comes equipped with a 25-foot, one-piece rubber power cable. Unlike vinyl or 2-piece alternatives, the heavy-duty rubber cable offers superior resistance to heat, abrasion, and kinking, ensuring consistent current delivery and gas flow even in rugged industrial environments.

This assembly is an excellent choice for maintenance and repair operations (MRO), pipe welding, and structural fabrication where water-cooling systems are impractical. The 25-foot reach allows for significant mobility around large assemblies, reducing the need to frequently relocate the power source. By combining high amperage capacity with the simplicity of air cooling and the utility of a gas valve, this torch represents a versatile solution for professional welders.
