200VTB - Miller Weldcraft A-200V Modular TIG Torch Body with Valve

Weldcraft A-200Vmod Modular TIG Torch Body (200VTB)

The Weldcraft A-200Vmod (200VTB) is a premium replacement torch body designed for the A-200 Series (formerly known as the WP-26 series) of air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered by Miller Electric under the Weldcraft brand, this component represents the industry standard for durability and performance in heavy-duty manual welding applications. The 200VTB is a modular unit, meaning it is designed to screw into a specific handle assembly (specifically the 10N15R thread-on handle), allowing for cost-effective repairs and configuration changes without the need to replace the entire torch cable assembly.

This specific model features a rigid head configuration equipped with a manual gas control valve. The inclusion of the valve is a critical feature for welders operating with power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid, such as many engine-driven welders or basic stick welding machines utilized for TIG welding (scratch start or lift arc). The valve allows the operator to manually open the shielding gas flow before striking the arc and close it after the post-flow period, ensuring complete protection of the tungsten and weld pool. Rated at 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, the A-200Vmod provides substantial power capacity for an air-cooled torch, making it suitable for welding thicker gauge materials where water cooling is not feasible or desired.

Constructed from high-grade copper and high-temperature silicone rubber insulation, the 200VTB is built to withstand the thermal stresses of high-amperage welding. The modular nature of the Weldcraft A-Series allows industrial facilities to maintain a smaller inventory of spare parts while maximizing equipment uptime. Instead of discarding a torch due to a damaged head, the body can be swapped out in minutes. This torch body accepts standard Series 3 (10N series) consumables, ensuring broad compatibility with existing shop inventory.
