OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Flexible TIG Torch Head

The Canaweld CWUWP26FX is a premium replacement torch head body designed for the WP26 series air-cooled TIG torch systems. Engineered for professional industrial environments, this torch head features a flexible neck mechanism that allows operators to physically bend the head of the torch to accommodate complex welding angles and restricted access areas. Unlike rigid torch bodies that limit the welder's approach to a joint, the flexible design of the CWUWP26FX ensures that the tungsten electrode can be positioned optimally relative to the weld pool, regardless of obstruction.

Constructed from high-grade copper components and encased in durable, high-temperature silicone rubber insulation, this torch head is built to withstand the thermal stresses associated with heavy-duty TIG welding. It is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it one of the most capable air-cooled torch heads available. The efficient air-cooling design relies on the mass of the copper and the ambient airflow to dissipate heat, removing the complexity and maintenance requirements of water-cooled systems for medium-to-heavy fabrication tasks.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CWUWP26FX. It accepts all standard industry-standard 26-series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups. This ensures that facilities can integrate this replacement part into their existing inventory without the need for proprietary consumables. The connection points are machined to precise tolerances to ensure a secure, leak-free connection with power cables and gas lines, maintaining shielding gas integrity and electrical stability during operation.

For MRO specialists and fabrication shop managers, the Canaweld WP26 Flex Head represents a reliable, cost-effective solution for maintaining fleet uptime. Its robust construction minimizes failure rates due to heat fatigue, while the added flexibility enhances welder ergonomics and weld quality in challenging positional work.

FAQ

The CWUWP26FX is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle.

This is an air-cooled torch head designed for WP26 series systems.

Yes, it is compatible with all standard 10N series and other consumables designed for WP26, WP17, and WP18 torches.

The neck can be adjusted multiple times to various angles, but it is recommended to minimize constant extreme bending to prolong the life of the internal copper braiding.

No, this SKU is for the torch head body only. Handles and power cables are sold separately.

This is a Canaweld branded product, known for high-quality welding components.

Yes, provided you are within the 150 Amp AC rating typically used for aluminum TIG welding.

No, this is a standard flex head without a gas valve. If you need a valve for a scratch-start setup, you would need a WP26FV model.
