WP-20-12-R - Weldcraft W-250 (WP-20) Water-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 12.5ft Braided Rubber

High-Performance Water-Cooled TIG Welding Solution

The Weldcraft W-250 TIG Torch Package (formerly the WP-20 Series) represents the industry standard for consistent, high-amperage welding applications requiring compact equipment. Engineered for precision and durability, this water-cooled torch system is designed to handle demanding fabrication tasks where heat management and maneuverability are critical. The W-250 series is renowned for its "around-the-head" cooling technology, which maximizes thermal conductivity and prevents overheating during prolonged use. This design feature significantly extends the operational life of the torch body and consumables, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for industrial operations.

Optimized for Comfort and Control

Weighing significantly less than comparable torches in its class, the W-250 body offers superior handling characteristics. The compact form factor allows operators to access tight joints and difficult angles with ease, maintaining excellent arc control. The package includes a 12.5-foot (3.8 meter) cable assembly featuring braided rubber hoses. Unlike vinyl alternatives, braided rubber offers exceptional flexibility and resistance to kinking, abrasion, and heat, ensuring a consistent flow of power, water, and shielding gas. The 3-piece cable design separates the power, water, and gas lines, allowing for easier replacement of individual components if necessary.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

Rated for 250 Amps DC and 180 Amps AC, the W-250 is capable of handling a wide range of material thicknesses, from thin gauge aluminum to heavy stainless steel plate. The torch utilizes the standard 2-Series (13N) consumable platform, making it compatible with a vast ecosystem of collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and nozzles already prevalent in the industry. This specific package, the WP-20-12-R, features a rigid head configuration, providing a stable and fixed angle for repetitive welding tasks. The inclusion of a long back cap allows for the use of full-length tungsten electrodes, further enhancing operational efficiency.
