WP1725RM - Weldcraft A-150 (WP-17) TIG Torch Package, 25ft Rubber Cable, Air-Cooled

Weldcraft A-150 TIG Torch Package (WP1725RM)

The Weldcraft A-150 TIG Torch Package, identified by the SKU WP1725RM, represents the evolution of the industry-standard WP-17 series. This air-cooled torch package is engineered for welders who require a reliable, versatile tool for general fabrication and field applications. The A-150 series maintains the robust performance characteristics of its predecessor while integrating modern ergonomic enhancements designed to improve operator comfort and control during extended welding sessions.

At the core of this package is the A-150 torch body featuring a rigid head design. While flexible necks are available in other configurations, this specific model utilizes a standard rigid head, providing a stable and consistent platform for precision welding. The torch is rated for 150 Amps DC and 115 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it suitable for a wide range of light-to-medium gauge materials. The package includes a 25-foot, one-piece rubber power cable. Unlike vinyl cables, the rubber composition offers superior resistance to heat and abrasion, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments. The heavy-duty cable assembly also allows for the use of a larger conductor, which aids in efficient power transmission and simplifies repair or replacement in the field.

A key technical feature of the A-150 is the Diamond Grip head design. This ergonomic improvement incorporates specific contact points for the thumb and fingers, promoting a natural grip that reduces hand strain and operator fatigue. Coupled with the ribbed handle, which minimizes contact area to keep the handle cool, the torch allows for longer operational periods with greater comfort. The system utilizes standard Weldcraft 10N (3 Series) consumables, ensuring that replacement collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are readily available and cost-effective. This package is a comprehensive solution, delivered with the torch body, handle, cable, and a starter kit of essential consumables including a collet, collet body, nozzle, back cap, and a tungsten electrode.
