For welders who demand versatility and control in the field, the Weldcraft A-150 Flex Valve (formerly known as the WP-17FV) is the industry standard for air-cooled TIG welding. This torch body is designed to handle the rigors of daily industrial use while providing the flexibility needed for complex jobs. Whether you are working on maintenance, repair, or fabrication, the A-150FV offers a robust 150-amp capacity that covers a wide range of light-to-medium gauge welding tasks.
The standout feature of this model is the combination of a flexible neck and a manual gas control valve. The flexible neck allows operators to bend the torch head into various angles, granting access to tight corners, pipe joints, and awkward positions that a rigid torch simply cannot reach. This reduces operator strain and improves weld quality by maintaining the proper torch angle. Meanwhile, the built-in fingertip gas valve provides direct control over shielding gas flow. This is essential when using welding machines that do not have an internal gas solenoid, such as scratch-start setups or stick welders adapted for TIG applications.
Weldcraft, now under the Miller Electric umbrella, ensures that the A-150 series is built with high-quality copper components for maximum conductivity and heat dissipation. The torch body accepts standard 17-series consumables, as well as parts from the 18 and 26 series, making it easy to find replacement collets, bodies, and nozzles anywhere. When you need a torch that adapts to your environment rather than forcing you to adapt to it, the Weldcraft A-150 Flex Valve is the tool for the job.
