WP-24FV-25-R - Weldcraft A-80 Flex Valve TIG Torch Kit 25ft Rubber Cable

Weldcraft A-80 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package (WP-24FV-25-R)

The Weldcraft A-80 Flex Valve TIG Torch Package, formerly known as the WP-24 Series, is a premium air-cooled solution designed for precision welding in the most demanding and restricted environments. Engineered by Miller Electric under the renowned Weldcraft brand, this torch kit (SKU: WP-24FV-25-R) combines lightweight ergonomics with versatile functionality, making it an essential tool for professionals in aviation, motorsports, and industrial maintenance.

Precision and Accessibility

The standout feature of the A-80 Flex Valve is its innovative flexible neck design. Unlike rigid torches, the neck on the WP-24FV body can be adjusted to virtually any angle, allowing the operator to maintain the optimal torch-to-weld relationship even in complex joint configurations. This flexibility is critical when working inside pipe clusters, engine manifolds, or airframes where line-of-sight and hand positioning are compromised. The torch body is exceptionally compact, further enhancing its ability to access areas that standard torches cannot reach.

Integrated Gas Control

This package is specifically equipped with a built-in fingertip gas control valve. This feature provides manual on/off control of shielding gas directly at the torch, eliminating the need for a gas solenoid valve on the welding power source. This makes the A-80 Flex Valve an excellent choice for field applications using scratch-start or lift-arc TIG processes on basic DC power supplies. The valve is easy to operate and ensures gas flows only when needed, reducing waste and ensuring proper shielding coverage.

Performance and Durability

Rated at 80 Amps DC and 50 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle, the A-80 is optimized for thin-gauge materials where heat control is paramount. The package includes a 25-foot (7.6 meter) one-piece rubber power cable, which offers superior durability and resistance to abrasion compared to vinyl alternatives. The rubber cable maintains flexibility in various temperature conditions, ensuring that the torch remains easy to maneuver without cable drag affecting the weld quality. The kit comes complete with the torch body, handle, and power cable, ready to be outfitted with 8-Series consumables.
