WP-17-25-R - Weldcraft A-150 Air-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 25 ft Rubber Cable, Rigid Head

Weldcraft A-150 TIG Torch Package Overview

The Weldcraft A-150 TIG Torch Package (SKU: WP-17-25-R) represents the industry standard for 150-amp air-cooled TIG welding applications. Formerly known as the WP-17 Series, this torch has been rebranded under the A-Series line while maintaining the robust engineering and compatibility that professionals rely on. Designed for general-purpose fabrication, maintenance, and repair, the A-150 provides a rated output of 150 Amps DC and 115 Amps AC, making it suitable for welding thin to medium gauge materials including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

This specific package configuration features a rigid head design and a 25-foot (7.6 meter) one-piece standard rubber power cable. The rubber cable construction offers superior flexibility and resistance to heat and abrasion compared to vinyl alternatives, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments. The torch body is insulated with high-temperature silicone rubber to prevent high-frequency voltage leaks, ensuring operator safety and consistent arc performance.

A key technical advantage of the A-150 series is its compatibility with the widely available Weldcraft 10N series (3 Series) consumables. This allows facilities to utilize existing inventory of collets, collet bodies, and nozzles, reducing operational costs. The torch is engineered with the Diamond Grip™ head design, which provides ergonomic contact points for the thumb and fingers, enhancing torch control during precision welding tasks. The ribbed handle design further aids in thermal management, allowing air to circulate between the operator's hand and the torch handle, thereby maintaining a cooler grip temperature during extended duty cycles.

The package includes the A-150 torch body, a durable handle, the 25-foot power cable, and a long back cap. It connects via a standard 1-piece power cable connection, requiring an appropriate adapter depending on the power source. This unit does not include a gas control valve on the torch body, making it ideal for power sources with built-in gas solenoids.
