WP-26-25-2 - Weldcraft A-200 (WP-26) 200A Air-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 25ft 2-Piece Rubber

Reliable Heavy-Duty TIG Welding Solution

The Weldcraft A-200 TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-26 Series) is a staple in the industrial welding sector, renowned for its robust performance in demanding environments. Assigned the internal SKU MILWP-26-25-2, this package is specifically configured for welders who require a durable, air-cooled solution capable of handling significant amperage without the logistical burden of a water-cooling system. The A-200 is engineered with heavy copper construction, ensuring it delivers optimal welding capacity even during rugged fieldwork. This specific configuration, the WP-26-25-2, includes a 25-foot reach and a 2-piece rubber cable assembly, offering distinct advantages for specific machine setups.

Built for the Industrial Environment

In the world of MRO and heavy fabrication, equipment failure is not an option. The A-200 series is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. The torch body features a rigid head without a valve, streamlining the design for operators who control gas flow at the source or via a solenoid. The "Diamond Grip" head design and ribbed handle are not merely aesthetic; they are functional ergonomic features intended to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts. By providing a cooler operation and better grip, this torch helps maintain weld quality and consistency, which is critical for structural and pipe applications.

2-Piece Cable Configuration

One of the defining features of this package is the 2-piece cable system. Unlike single-piece cables that combine power and gas in one line, this setup separates them. It features a heavy-duty rubber power cable with a lug connector for the power source and a separate braided rubber gas hose that connects directly to a regulator or flowmeter. This configuration is particularly useful for "scratch start" or "lift arc" TIG setups on power sources that do not have an internal gas solenoid, such as many engine-driven welders or stick welding machines used in the field. The rubber insulation on the power cable provides superior abrasion resistance compared to vinyl, ensuring longevity on rough job sites.

Standardized Consumables

Maintenance and inventory management are simplified with the A-200. It utilizes the widely available Weldcraft 10N (3 Series) consumables. This means that collets, collet bodies, nozzles, and back caps are interchangeable with other common torches like the WP-18 and WP-17, reducing the need to stock unique parts for every torch in your fleet. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, the A-200 provides the versatility and power required for high-quality results.
