WP-26 - Weldcraft A-200 (WP-26) Air-Cooled TIG Torch Body 200A

Weldcraft A-200 (WP-26) TIG Torch Body

The Weldcraft A-200, historically known as the WP-26, is the industry standard for air-cooled TIG welding in heavy-duty applications. Engineered by Miller Weldcraft, this torch body is designed to handle the rigors of field work and fabrication where water-cooling systems are impractical. With a robust 200-amp output, the A-200 provides the power necessary for welding thicker gauge materials while maintaining the portability and simplicity of an air-cooled system.

Constructed from heavy copper components, the A-200 ensures maximum conductivity and durability. The torch body effectively manages heat dissipation, allowing for sustained welding operations without overheating the handle. This specific model features a rigid neck, offering a stable and consistent angle for welders who prefer a fixed geometry over flexible heads. The package includes the torch body, a long back cap, a ribbed handle for improved grip, and a 2-piece rubber power cable configuration, providing a comprehensive solution for torch replacement or assembly.

One of the key advantages of the A-200 series is its versatility in consumable compatibility. It utilizes the same front-end parts—collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses—as the WP-17 and WP-18 series. This interchangeability reduces inventory complexity for shops that utilize multiple torch types. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the Weldcraft A-200 delivers consistent arc stability and reliable performance.
