OVERVIEW

Genuine Weldcraft VS-1 TIG Torch Gas Valve

Maintain the optimal performance of your TIG welding setup with the Weldcraft VS-1 TIG Torch Gas Valve. This genuine replacement part is designed to restore the functionality of your manual gas control torches. When your existing valve stem becomes worn, stripped, or begins to leak, it compromises your shielding gas coverage and weld quality. The VS-1 assembly provides a quick and reliable fix, ensuring you can continue to weld with precision.

The VS-1 is specifically engineered for Weldcraft WP-18V, WP-26V, and WP-200VTB series torches. These torches are often used with power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, requiring the welder to manually open and close the gas flow at the torch handle. This kit comes complete with everything needed for the replacement: the valve stem, the knurled control knob for easy gripping with gloves, and the sealing O-ring to prevent gas wastage.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of using authentic parts for your equipment. The Weldcraft VS-1 ensures a perfect fit and smooth operation, allowing you to easily modulate gas flow before and after the arc is struck. Whether you are working in the field or in the shop, having a reliable gas valve is critical for efficient TIG welding.

  • Direct Fit: Engineered to factory specifications for 18 and 26 series valve torches.
  • Complete Solution: Includes the stem, knob, and O-ring for a full repair.
