The Weldcraft A-125 Valve TIG Torch Package, formerly known as the WP-9V series, is a premium air-cooled solution designed for precision welding on thin-gauge materials. This specific configuration, identified by SKU WP-9V-25-2, is engineered for versatility in environments where the welding power source may not support automatic gas control. The inclusion of a fingertip gas control valve on the torch body allows the operator to manually manage shielding gas flow, making it an essential tool for TIG welding with Stick machines or older power sources lacking an internal gas solenoid.
Rated at 125 amps DC and 100 amps AC (60% duty cycle), the A-125 Valve torch is built to handle light-duty fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks. The package features a 25-foot, 2-piece rubber cable assembly. In this 2-piece configuration, the power cable is separated from the gas hose; the power cable typically terminates in a lug for connection to the welder's output stud, while the gas hose connects directly to the flowmeter or regulator. This setup is particularly advantageous for field applications and "scratch start" or "lift arc" TIG setups.
The torch body itself is designed for maximum operator comfort. Its lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended welding sessions, while the rigid head offers stability. The A-125 series utilizes the standard 2-Series (13N) consumables, ensuring easy availability of collets, collet bodies, and nozzles. Furthermore, parts are interchangeable with the water-cooled WP-20 and WP-25 series, simplifying inventory management for shops using multiple torch types. This package includes the torch body with valve, handle, long back cap, and the complete 25-foot cable assembly.
