WP-9FV-25-R - Weldcraft A-125 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package, 125A Air-Cooled, 25ft Rubber Cable

Detailed Product Overview

The Weldcraft A-125 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-9FV series) represents a premium solution for low-amperage, high-precision welding applications. Assigned the internal SKU MILWP-9FV-25-R, this package is engineered to provide welders with maximum versatility in a lightweight, air-cooled form factor. The torch is rated for 125 amps DC and 100 amps AC, making it suitable for a wide range of thin-gauge materials including aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel. The defining characteristic of this model is the combination of a flexible neck and a manual gas control valve, designated by the 'FV' in the model number.

The flexible neck assembly allows the operator to physically bend the torch head to various angles, facilitating access to difficult-to-reach weld joints such as those found in pipe clusters, roll cages, or complex manifolds. The integrated gas control valve is a critical feature for setups utilizing power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, such as many engine-driven welders or basic stick machines used for scratch-start TIG. This valve allows the user to manually open shielding gas flow before striking the arc and close it after the post-flow period, ensuring proper weld pool protection without complex external automation.

This specific package, the WP-9FV-25-R, includes a 25-foot one-piece power cable manufactured from high-quality rubber. Unlike vinyl alternatives, the rubber cable maintains superior flexibility in cold environments and offers better resistance to heat and abrasion in industrial settings. The torch body is designed to accept standard 2-series consumables (13N series), ensuring full interchangeability with WP-20, WP-20P, and WP-25 models. This cross-compatibility simplifies inventory management for shops running multiple torch types. The package comes complete with the torch body, handle, long back cap, and the 25-foot power cable, ready to be adapted to your specific machine's output stud.
