WP-25-12 - Weldcraft W-200 Pencil Flex TIG Torch Package, Water-Cooled, 12.5ft

Precision Water-Cooled TIG Torch for Confined Spaces

The Weldcraft W-200 Pencil Flex TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-25 series) is a specialized industrial welding tool designed for high-precision applications where access is limited. Engineered for the rigorous demands of aerospace, petrochemical, and precision manufacturing industries, this torch combines a compact form factor with high-amperage capabilities. The W-200 features a unique pencil-style body that lacks a traditional handle angle, allowing the operator to manipulate the torch similarly to a writing instrument for fine motor control. The flexible neck further enhances versatility, enabling the torch head to be bent into various configurations to reach obscured or difficult-to-access weld joints.

Despite its diminutive size, the W-200 is a powerhouse, rated for 200 Amps DC and 140 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle. This performance is achieved through Weldcraft's innovative "around-the-head" water-cooling design, which efficiently dissipates heat to prevent overheating during prolonged use. This cooling efficiency not only protects the internal components of the torch, extending its service life, but also ensures operator comfort by keeping the handle cool. The package includes a 12.5-foot (3.8 meter) vinyl power cable assembly, along with necessary gas and water hoses, providing a complete solution for integrating with existing water-cooled power sources.

The W-200 utilizes the standard 2 Series consumable line, ensuring that replacement parts such as collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are readily available and compatible with other torches in the Weldcraft family. This standardization simplifies inventory management for industrial supply cribs. Whether used for intricate aluminum repairs or stainless steel pipe welding in tight manifolds, the W-200 delivers consistent arc stability and thermal management.

Key Industrial Applications

• Aerospace Fabrication: Ideal for welding engine components and airframe structures where space is at a premium.
• Petrochemical Maintenance: Perfect for repairing piping systems and heat exchangers with limited clearance.
• Precision Manufacturing: Ensures high-quality welds on thin-gauge materials requiring steady hand control.
