The ESAB 26V TIG Torch (W4014603) is a robust, air-cooled welding torch designed to deliver reliable performance for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) applications. Rated at 200 Amps, this torch is engineered to handle a wide range of welding tasks, from light-gauge fabrication to medium-duty industrial repairs. The "V" designation indicates the presence of a gas control valve directly on the torch body, providing operators with manual control over shielding gas flow, which is particularly useful when operating with power sources that may not have internal gas solenoids for TIG processes or when precise pre-flow and post-flow manual management is desired.
This specific model is outfitted with a 12.5-foot cable assembly and an 8-pin remote connector, making it directly compatible with specific ESAB power sources, including the Fabricator 211i, Fabricator 252i, and the Rebel series of multiprocess welders. The 8-pin connection facilitates remote amperage control, allowing the welder to adjust heat input dynamically during the weld cycle if the machine supports remote functionality through the torch switch. The rigid head design offers stability and durability in demanding shop environments.
The W4014603 is supplied as a complete "Ready to Weld" package. It includes a comprehensive TIG accessory kit containing essential consumables required to start welding immediately. The kit features multiple sizes of thoriated tungsten electrodes (1/16", 3/32", 1/8"), corresponding collets and collet bodies, and a selection of Alumina nozzles (#5, #6, #7). Additionally, both short and long back caps are provided to accommodate different access requirements and tungsten lengths. This all-in-one packaging simplifies procurement and ensures that all components are matched correctly to the torch body.
The torch operates on an air-cooled system, eliminating the need for external water coolers and simplifying the equipment setup for mobile or light-industrial applications. With a 200A rating, it provides sufficient power for welding steel, stainless steel, and other alloys typically encountered in fabrication shops. The 12.5-foot lead length offers a practical balance between reach and cable management, suitable for bench work and localized assembly tasks.
