WP-R26F-12-R - Weldcraft A-200 Flex Redhead TIG Torch Package, 200A, 12.5ft Rubber Cable

Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled Performance

The Weldcraft A-200 Flex Redhead TIG Torch Package (SKU: WP-R26F-12-R) represents the pinnacle of air-cooled torch technology for heavy-duty industrial applications. Formerly known as the WP-26 Series, the A-200 family is engineered to handle high-amperage welding without the complexity or expense of a water-cooled system. This specific model features the iconic "Redhead" design, utilizing a specialized phenolic insulation material on the torch head. Unlike standard rubber insulation, this phenolic compound offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures, preventing the head from degrading, cracking, or softening during extended welding cycles at high amperages. This durability makes it an ideal choice for fabrication shops, shipyards, and field maintenance crews who demand reliability under thermal stress.

Flexible Versatility for Complex Welds

Accessibility is often the biggest challenge in pipe welding and complex fabrication. The A-200 Flex addresses this with a fully flexible neck that can be adjusted to virtually any angle. This allows the operator to maintain the optimal torch-to-work angle even in limited-access joints, such as behind pipes or inside structural corners. The flexibility does not compromise the current transfer; the heavy copper construction ensures that the torch delivers its full 200 Amp DC (150 Amp AC) capacity consistently. The package includes a 12.5-foot one-piece standard rubber power cable, which provides a balance of durability and maneuverability, resisting abrasion on rough shop floors while remaining flexible enough for comfortable manipulation.

Ergonomics and Compatibility

Operator comfort is critical for weld quality. The A-200 Flex features a ribbed, ergonomic handle designed to provide a secure grip and reduce hand fatigue during long shifts. The torch is designed to promote a proper relationship between the hand and the weld joint, enhancing control. Furthermore, the A-200 Series simplifies inventory management by utilizing standard Series 3 (10N) consumables. This means that collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are widely available and interchangeable with other standard torches in the industry. This package comes complete with the torch body, handle, power cable, and a long back cap, providing the core components needed to connect to your power source and begin welding immediately.
