The Parker WP20 Water-Cooled TIG Torch is engineered for professional fabrication environments where precision and duty cycle are paramount. Designed to handle substantial amperage without the bulk of larger torches, the WP20 series is a standard in the industry for pipe welding, aerospace applications, and general precision manufacturing. This specific assembly features a 25-foot lead, providing ample reach for working around large fixtures or stationary power sources.
At the core of this torch is its water-cooling capability, which efficiently dissipates heat, allowing for a rating of 225 Amps DC and 160 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle. This thermal management is critical for maintaining consistent conductivity and preventing the overheating of consumables during prolonged welding operations. The torch body accepts standard 20-series consumables, ensuring that replacement collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses are readily available and cost-effective to source.
A standout feature of this Parker model is the rubber braided cable assembly. Unlike standard vinyl or PVC cables, rubber braided hoses offer exceptional flexibility and resistance to kinking. This material choice significantly improves the longevity of the cable bundle in harsh shop environments where exposure to hot sparks, abrasion, and sharp edges is common. The flexibility also translates to better torch manipulation, allowing the operator to maintain optimal torch angles without fighting the stiffness of the lead.
This torch is an ideal replacement or upgrade for existing water-cooled setups. Whether you are welding stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, the Parker WP20 delivers the reliability required for high-quality TIG welding. Ensure your welding machine is equipped with a compatible water cooler and the necessary adapters to interface with the power and water lines of this torch assembly.
