WP-26FV-25-R - Weldcraft A-200 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package 25ft Rubber WP-26FV-25-R

Reliable Heavy-Duty Air-Cooled TIG Performance

The Weldcraft A-200 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-26 Series) represents the pinnacle of air-cooled torch engineering for heavy-duty industrial applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of field fabrication, shipboard repair, and structural manufacturing, this torch package combines robust construction with versatile features that enhance operator control and accessibility. The A-200 Series is renowned for its ability to deliver consistent welding performance without the logistical complexity and expense of water-cooled systems, making it a preferred choice for mobile maintenance and repair operations.

At the core of this package is the A-200 Flex Valve torch body, which integrates two critical features for challenging weld environments: a flexible neck and a manual gas control valve. The flexible neck allows the operator to bend the torch head to various angles, facilitating proper electrode positioning in restricted spaces where rigid torches cannot reach. Simultaneously, the built-in gas control valve provides a manual method for managing shielding gas flow directly at the torch. This is particularly advantageous when utilizing power sources that lack an internal gas solenoid, such as engine-driven welders or basic stick machines adapted for TIG processes.

Constructed with heavy copper components, the A-200 ensures optimal current transfer and heat dissipation, allowing for a rated output of 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC. This thermal efficiency ensures the torch remains comfortable to hold even during extended welding cycles. The package includes a durable 25-foot (7.6 meter) one-piece rubber power cable. Unlike vinyl alternatives, this rubber cable offers superior resistance to abrasion, heat, and cold cracking, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments. The single-piece design simplifies cable management and reduces the weight dragged by the operator, further reducing fatigue.

This complete package includes the torch body, a comfortable handle, the 25-foot rubber power cable, and a long back cap, providing everything required to connect to a compatible power source and commence welding. By standardizing on the A-200 Flex Valve, facilities benefit from a tool that adapts to both the physical constraints of the workpiece and the technical limitations of available power equipment.
