PWP26 - WP26 Replacement TIG Torch Body 200A Air Cooled

Industrial Grade WP26 TIG Torch Body

The Parker PWP26 TIG Torch Body is a premium replacement component designed for industrial welding environments requiring reliable, heavy-duty performance. Engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, this torch body is fully compatible with the widely used 26-series air-cooled TIG platform. It is an essential maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) item for fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and field service units that rely on standard air-cooled TIG setups for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloys, the PWP26 ensures optimal electrical conductivity, minimizing resistance and heat buildup during prolonged welding operations. The body is encased in high-temperature, resilient silicone rubber insulation, which provides superior dielectric strength and protection against high-frequency starts and radiant heat. This insulation is resistant to cracking and chipping, ensuring a long service life even in harsh industrial conditions. The rigid head design offers maximum structural integrity, making it the preferred choice for applications where flexibility is not required but durability is paramount.

With a rating of 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, this torch body handles thicker materials and higher amperage applications than smaller 9 or 17 series torches. It utilizes standard industry connections, making it a drop-in replacement for Weldcraft, Miller, Lincoln, and other major brands of WP-26 style torches. This cross-compatibility simplifies inventory management for procurement officers and tool crib managers, allowing for a single SKU to service multiple welding machines and setups.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Provides a high-quality alternative to OEM parts without sacrificing performance.
• Universal Compatibility: Fits existing 26-series handles, power cables, and consumable kits (collets, bodies, cups).
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the thermal cycling and mechanical stress typical of heavy fabrication.
