WP-9-25-R - Weldcraft A-125 (WP-9) 125A Air-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 25ft Rubber

Technical Overview of the Weldcraft A-125 (WP-9) TIG Torch

The Weldcraft A-125 TIG Torch Package, identified by the SKU WP-9-25-R, represents the evolution of the industry-standard WP-9 series. Now rebranded under the A-Series nomenclature by Miller Weldcraft, this torch retains all the critical specifications that professionals rely on for precision welding applications. The package is designed specifically for low-amperage, air-cooled TIG welding, rated at 125 Amps DC and 100 Amps AC (at 60% duty cycle). This specific configuration features a 25-foot (7.6 meter) power cable, providing extensive reach for fabrication environments where the power source cannot be immediately adjacent to the workpiece.

A defining characteristic of this package is the inclusion of a 1-piece rubber power cable. Unlike standard vinyl cables, rubber offers enhanced resistance to heat and abrasion while maintaining superior flexibility in cold environments. This ensures consistent gas flow and current transfer without the stiffness that can impede torch manipulation. The torch body itself utilizes the standard rigid head design, which is compatible with all 2 Series (13N) consumables, including collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses. This backward compatibility ensures that existing inventory of WP-9 consumables remains viable with the A-125 system.

The A-125 is engineered for "pencil-style" control, although this specific package includes a handle and a long back cap. The absence of a gas control valve on the torch body indicates this unit is intended for use with welding power sources that feature an internal gas solenoid, managed via a foot pedal or fingertip remote. The torch's compact geometry makes it particularly suitable for intricate work on thin-gauge materials such as aluminum and stainless steel, commonly found in aerospace, motorsports, and precision metal art sectors. The package arrives complete with the torch body, handle, the 25-foot rubber cable assembly, and a long back cap, requiring only the addition of front-end consumables and a tungsten electrode to commence welding operations.
