WP-20V-25 - Weldcraft W-250 Valve Water-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 25ft Vinyl

Technical Overview of the Weldcraft W-250 Valve TIG Torch

The Weldcraft W-250 Valve TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-20V-25) is a high-performance, water-cooled welding solution designed for demanding industrial applications. Engineered to handle 250 Amps DC and 180 Amps AC, this torch package provides consistent, reliable output for continuous welding operations. The inclusion of a manual gas control valve on the torch body makes this model particularly valuable for setups where the power source does not feature a built-in gas solenoid, giving the operator direct control over shielding gas flow at the torch handle.

Central to the W-250's performance is its innovative "around-the-head" cooling design. This system maximizes thermal transfer, effectively preventing the torch head from overheating during prolonged use. By maintaining lower operating temperatures, the torch components experience less thermal stress, significantly extending the service life of the equipment. The compact and lightweight form factor of the W-250 series mirrors the industry-standard WP-20 profile, allowing for excellent accessibility in restricted spaces without sacrificing amperage capacity.

The package includes a durable 25-foot vinyl power cable, along with dedicated gas and water hoses. Weldcraft has engineered this system with secure mechanical fittings that ensure leak-proof connections, addressing a common failure point in water-cooled systems. These fittings also facilitate rapid maintenance; should a hose need replacement, the mechanical design allows for a straightforward swap without the need for complex tools or adhesives. The torch is compatible with standard 2-series (13N) consumables, ensuring that collets, collet bodies, and nozzles are readily available and interchangeable with existing inventory.

This comprehensive package comes complete with the W-250 Valve torch body, a handle, the 25-foot vinyl power cable assembly, gas and water hoses, and a long back cap, providing a ready-to-weld solution for professional fabricators requiring precision and power.
