WP-17FV-12-R - Weldcraft A-150 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package, 12.5ft Rubber Cable

Weldcraft A-150 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package (WP-17FV-12-R)

The Weldcraft A-150 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package, formerly known as the WP-17FV, is a premium air-cooled solution designed for welders who demand versatility and reliability in the field. This 150-amp torch is engineered to handle a wide range of welding applications, from general fabrication to intricate aerospace work. The defining feature of this model is its combination of a flexible neck and a built-in gas control valve, providing a dual advantage for complex welding scenarios.

The "Flex" capability allows the operator to bend the torch head to various angles, granting access to difficult-to-reach joints that rigid torches simply cannot access. This is particularly useful in pipe welding, roll cage fabrication, and maintenance repair operations where joint accessibility is often compromised. Coupled with this is the manual gas valve, a critical feature for TIG welding with power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid. This valve gives the welder fingertip control over shielding gas flow, ensuring proper coverage at the start and end of the weld, and minimizing gas waste.

Durability is a key component of the A-150 package. It comes equipped with a 12.5-foot, one-piece rubber power cable. Unlike vinyl alternatives, rubber cables offer superior resistance to heat, abrasion, and cold weather cracking, making this package suitable for harsh industrial environments. The torch utilizes the standard Weldcraft 10N (3 Series) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts like collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are readily available and cost-effective. Whether you are performing on-site repairs or precision shop work, the A-150 Flex Valve torch delivers the performance and adaptability required for high-quality TIG welding.
