OVERVIEW

Weldcraft A-200 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package (WP-26FV-12-R)

The Weldcraft A-200 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package, formerly known as the WP-26FV Series, is a premier solution for heavy-duty welding applications requiring both power and versatility. Designed for professionals in fabrication, field maintenance, and repair, this air-cooled torch eliminates the complexity and expense of water-cooled systems while delivering robust performance. With a rated output of 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC, the A-200 is built to handle thicker gauge materials and demanding duty cycles typically found in industrial environments.

This specific package (WP-26FV-12-R) is engineered for maximum adaptability. It features a Flexible Neck (Flex Head), which allows the welder to bend the torch head to various angles, providing superior access to tight corners, pipe joints, and awkward welding positions that rigid torches cannot reach. Additionally, the integrated Gas Control Valve on the torch body offers precise manual control over shielding gas flow. This is particularly advantageous for field operations using power sources that do not have built-in gas solenoids, such as engine-driven welders or stick machines adapted for TIG welding.

Durability is at the core of the A-200 design. The heavy copper construction ensures optimal current transfer and heat dissipation, extending the life of the torch even under rugged fieldwork conditions. The package includes a durable 12.5-foot one-piece rubber power cable that resists abrasion and withstands the rigors of the job site. The ergonomic handle design promotes operator comfort and control, reducing fatigue during long welding sessions. By combining the reliability of the legacy WP-26 series with modern flexibility and control, the Weldcraft A-200 Flex Valve stands out as a top-tier choice for welders who demand efficiency and adaptability.

Key Benefits for Industrial Maintenance

For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), the ability to adapt to the job is crucial. The A-200 Flex Valve allows technicians to perform high-quality TIG welds in restricted spaces without needing specialized micro-torches. The air-cooled nature of the torch simplifies setup, making it ideal for mobile welding rigs where water cooling is impractical.

FAQ

'FV' stands for Flex Valve. This indicates the torch has both a flexible neck (Flex) and a gas control valve (Valve) on the torch body.

The Weldcraft A-200 (formerly WP-26) is an air-cooled TIG torch.

It is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at 60% duty cycle.

No, this specific package includes the torch body, handle, power cable, and long back cap. Collets, collet bodies, nozzles, and tungsten are sold separately.

A gas valve is necessary if your welding power source does not have an internal gas solenoid (common on stick welders used for scratch-start TIG). It allows you to manually control gas flow.

The A-200 uses standard 3 Series (also known as 10N series) consumables, which are compatible with WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches.

Yes, the A-200 series is modular, and replacement torch bodies (heads) can be purchased and installed if the original becomes damaged.

This package (WP-26FV-12-R) comes with a 1-piece standard rubber power cable where the gas flows through the center of the conductor.
