900-017V - WP-17V Replacement TIG Torch Body 150A Air Cooled

Reliable 17 Series TIG Torch Body with Gas Valve

The 900-017V (VTR-17V) is a premium replacement torch body designed for the widely used 17 Series air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this torch body features a rigid head design equipped with a manual gas control valve. This configuration, commonly referred to as the WP-17V style, is essential for welding setups where the power source does not have an internal gas solenoid, such as in scratch-start or lift-arc applications on stick welding machines.

Constructed from high-grade copper components and encased in durable, high-temperature silicone rubber insulation, this torch body ensures excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to heat and impact. It is rated for a maximum output of 150 Amps DC and 115 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it suitable for a broad range of light-to-medium duty fabrication tasks. The air-cooled design simplifies the welding setup by removing the need for a water cooler, enhancing portability for field work.

Compatibility is a key feature of the VTR-17V. It accepts all standard 10N series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and ceramic cups, allowing welders to utilize their existing inventory of parts. Whether you are repairing a damaged torch or assembling a new rig for portable welding, this torch body provides the reliability and performance required for professional results.
