The Weldcraft A-200 Valve TIG Torch Package, formerly known as the WP-26V series, represents the industry standard for heavy-duty, air-cooled TIG welding. Designed for professionals who demand reliability and performance, this package includes the A-200 Valve torch body, a durable 25-foot 2-piece rubber power cable, and essential handle components. The "Valve" designation indicates the presence of a manual gas control valve on the torch body, a critical feature for welding power sources that do not possess an internal gas solenoid, allowing the operator to manually control shielding gas flow directly at the torch.
Constructed with heavy copper components, the A-200 Valve is built to withstand rugged fieldwork and high-amperage applications. It is rated for 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it suitable for a wide range of materials including aluminum and stainless steel. The 2-piece cable configuration separates the power conductor from the gas hose, offering a traditional setup that is often preferred for its durability and ease of repair in the field. The rubber insulation on the power cable provides superior resistance to abrasion and heat compared to vinyl alternatives.
This torch utilizes the standard 10N (3 Series) consumables, ensuring that replacement parts like collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are readily available and interchangeable with other WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 style torches. Whether used for pipe welding, maintenance, or fabrication, the Weldcraft A-200 Valve delivers consistent arc stability and robust performance.
