The Weldcraft A-150 Valve TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-17 Series) is a premium air-cooled welding solution designed for versatility and operator comfort. Identified by the SKU WP-17V-25-2, this package includes a 150-amp torch body featuring a built-in gas control valve, making it an essential tool for TIG welding applications where the power source does not provide an internal gas solenoid. The torch is rated for 150 amps DC and 115 amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, suitable for welding materials ranging from thin gauge up to 3/16 inch (4.8 mm).
This package is equipped with a 25-foot (7.6 meter) 2-piece rubber power cable. The 2-piece design separates the power conductor from the gas hose, utilizing a standard lug connector for the power side and a male inert gas fitting for the shielding gas. This configuration is particularly advantageous for maintenance and repair operations, as it allows for individual replacement of hoses or cables if damaged. The rubber insulation offers superior resistance to abrasion and heat compared to standard vinyl cables, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments.
The A-150 Valve torch features Weldcraft's patented Diamond Grip head design. This ergonomic innovation provides specific contact points for the operator's thumb and fingers, promoting a secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended welding sessions. The ribbed handle design further aids in cooling and control. The torch utilizes the widely available 10N series (3 Series) consumables, allowing operators to easily source collets, collet bodies, and nozzles. The rigid head with a 70-degree angle provides a standard, comfortable welding position for most fabrication tasks.
Designed for reliability, the A-150 Valve is ideal for industries such as aerospace, food and beverage processing, petrochemical maintenance, and general fabrication. Its manual gas valve allows for precise control over shielding gas pre-flow and post-flow, which is critical for maintaining weld integrity in critical applications. Whether used for scratch-start or lift-arc TIG welding, the WP-17V-25-2 delivers consistent performance.
