WP-9FV - A-125 Flex Valve TIG Torch Body

Product Overview

The Weldcraft A-125 Flex Valve Torch Body (formerly known as the WP-9FV) is a premium air-cooled TIG torch component designed for precision and versatility. Engineered by Miller Weldcraft, this torch body is part of the A-125 Series, which is renowned for providing optimal control when welding thin gauge materials. The unit is rated for 125 amps of TIG welding output, making it suitable for a wide range of light-duty industrial and hobbyist applications. The defining characteristics of this model are its flexible neck and integrated gas control valve, identified by the "FV" designation in the SKU.

Technical Capabilities

The A-125 Flex Valve body is constructed to withstand the thermal demands of continuous TIG welding within its amperage class. The air-cooled architecture eliminates the need for bulky water coolers, simplifying the welding setup and enhancing portability. The flexible neck mechanism is a critical feature, allowing the operator to physically bend the torch head to various angles. This capability is essential for maintaining proper electrode angles in confined spaces or when welding around obstructions. Additionally, the built-in gas valve offers manual on/off control of the shielding gas directly at the torch, a necessary function for TIG power sources that do not utilize an internal gas solenoid valve.

Compatibility and Series Information

As a genuine Weldcraft component, the WP-9FV is fully compatible with the extensive line of A-125 and legacy WP-9 series consumables. This includes collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and nozzles, ensuring that operators can easily source replacement parts and configure the front end of the torch to specific welding requirements. The transition from the WP-9 nomenclature to the A-125 Series represents a branding update, but the form, fit, and function remain identical, ensuring seamless integration with existing cable assemblies and power sources designed for the 9-series platform.
