WP-225-12-R - Weldcraft W-225 Modular Water-Cooled TIG Torch Kit, 12.5ft

Versatile Modular TIG Welding Solution

The Weldcraft W-225 Modular TIG Torch Kit (WP-225-12-R) represents a significant leap in welding versatility and efficiency. Designed for professional fabricators who encounter a wide variety of joint configurations and access challenges, this water-cooled torch system eliminates the need to maintain an inventory of multiple specialized torches. At the heart of the system is the W-225 modular torch body, which accepts interchangeable heads to adapt to the specific requirements of each job. This package comes complete with a 12.5-foot braided rubber power cable assembly, ensuring durability and flexibility in demanding industrial environments.

Adaptability on the Fly

What sets the W-225 apart is its ability to transform. The kit includes two distinct torch heads: the 1726 head and the 9-70 head. The 1726 head is designed to accept 3-Series (17/18/26) consumables, making it ideal for heavier applications where larger tungsten and gas coverage are required. Conversely, the 9-70 head utilizes 2-Series (9/20) consumables, providing a compact profile perfect for tight spaces and intricate detail work. This "two-in-one" capability ensures that whether you are welding thick aluminum plate or thin stainless steel tubing, you have the right tool configuration immediately at hand.

Built for Performance and Comfort

Welding comfort is critical for weld quality, and the W-225 delivers with its lightweight design and flexible neck capabilities. The water-cooling system is engineered to efficiently dissipate heat, allowing for a 100% duty cycle at rated amperages. This prevents the handle from becoming uncomfortably hot during long welding runs, reducing operator fatigue. The 12.5-foot leads are encased in high-quality braided rubber, which resists abrasion and kinking better than standard vinyl hoses, ensuring a consistent flow of water and shielding gas. With a DC rating of 225 Amps and an AC rating of 160 Amps, this torch handles a broad spectrum of TIG welding tasks with ease.

Cost-Effective Efficiency

By consolidating multiple torch styles into a single modular system, the W-225 reduces the total cost of ownership. Instead of purchasing separate flex-head, rigid, or different angle torches, you simply swap the head on the W-225 body. This not only saves money on hardware but also streamlines consumable inventory management. The included heads cover the most common welding scenarios, but the system is compatible with up to seven different head styles available separately, offering future-proof expandability for your workshop.
