The Weldcraft A-150 Flex (formerly the WP-17 Series) is a premium air-cooled TIG torch package designed for precision and versatility in light-duty industrial applications. Rated at 150 amps DC and 115 amps AC at 60% duty cycle, this torch provides reliable performance for welding gauge materials in fabrication, aerospace, and maintenance sectors. The defining feature of this model is the flexible neck (Flex Head), which can be adjusted to various angles, granting the operator superior access to restricted joints and complex geometries that rigid torches cannot reach.
This specific package, SKU WP-17F-12-2, is configured with a 2-piece cable assembly measuring 12.5 feet (3.8 meters). The 2-piece design separates the power conductor from the gas supply; the heavy-duty rubber power cable terminates in a lug for connection to the welder's output stud, while the braided rubber gas hose connects directly to a flowmeter or regulator. This configuration is essential for TIG or Stick power sources that do not possess an integrated gas solenoid valve. The rubber insulation ensures durability and resistance to abrasion in shop environments.
Operator comfort is maximized through the Diamond Grip™ head design and a ribbed handle, which promotes air flow and reduces heat transfer to the welder's hand. By minimizing operator fatigue and improving torch control, the A-150 Flex enhances weld quality and consistency. The torch utilizes the widely available Weldcraft 10N (3 Series) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts such as collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are easily sourced and cost-effective.
