WP-17V-12-R-PSH - Weldcraft A-150 Valve TIG Torch Package 12.5ft Rubber Cable

Reliable Air-Cooled TIG Performance with Manual Gas Control

The Weldcraft A-150V (formerly known as the WP-17V) is a staple in the welding industry, renowned for its balance of size, power, and durability. This specific package, the WP-17V-12-R-PSH, provides a complete 150-amp air-cooled torch solution designed for welders who require manual gas flow control directly at the torch. This feature is particularly valuable for field applications or when using welding power sources that do not have an internal gas solenoid, such as many engine drives or stick welding machines adapted for TIG processes.

Constructed with heavy-duty copper components, the A-150V ensures maximum conductivity and efficient heat dissipation, allowing for a 60% duty cycle at 150 amps DC. The torch body is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while remaining lightweight enough to minimize operator fatigue during extended welding sessions. The included 12.5-foot power cable is manufactured from high-quality rubber, offering superior resistance to heat, abrasion, and kinking compared to standard vinyl cables. This ensures a longer service life and reliable performance even in harsh workshop conditions.

Versatility is a key advantage of the A-150 series. It utilizes the industry-standard 10N series consumables (compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series torches), making replacement parts easy to find and affordable. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this torch provides the control and consistency needed for high-quality welds. The ribbed handle design improves grip and handling, giving the welder precise control over the arc. For professionals seeking a dependable, valve-equipped TIG torch that connects easily to standard setups, the Weldcraft A-150V is a proven choice.

Key Benefits for Industrial Users

• Manual Gas Valve: Essential for TIG welding with power sources lacking built-in gas solenoids.
• Durable Rubber Cable: Resists cuts, burns, and abrasion better than vinyl, ensuring longevity.
• Standard Consumables: Uses widely available collets, bodies, and cups, reducing inventory complexity.
• Ergonomic Design: Lightweight body and textured handle reduce wrist strain.
