105Z55 - Weldcraft 105Z55 Replacement Handle for WP-9F and WP-17F Torches

Genuine Weldcraft 105Z55 Knurled TIG Torch Handle

The Weldcraft 105Z55 is a premium replacement handle designed specifically for flexible TIG torch bodies. Manufactured by Miller Electric under the Weldcraft brand, this handle ensures that your welding equipment maintains the high standards of performance and safety expected by professional fabricators. The handle features a distinct knurled surface pattern. This texturing is not merely aesthetic; it provides a superior non-slip grip that is crucial when manipulating the torch in difficult positions or during long welding cycles where hand fatigue and perspiration can affect stability.

This specific handle is engineered with a threaded connection, allowing it to screw securely onto compatible torch bodies. It is explicitly designed for use with the WP-9F (A-125F) and WP-17F (A-150F) series torches, as well as their valved counterparts, the WP-9FV and WP-17FV. The "F" designation in these models stands for "Flexible," and this handle is the correct mating part for those specific flexible coil bodies. Using the correct handle is vital for ensuring proper insulation and ergonomic balance of the torch assembly.

When repairing or refurbishing your TIG torch, choosing genuine Weldcraft parts guarantees dimensional accuracy. A loose or ill-fitting handle can lead to internal movement of the torch body, potential gas leaks, or uncomfortable operation. The 105Z55 provides a tight, rattle-free fit that restores the torch to factory-new feel. Whether you are replacing a cracked handle or upgrading an older assembly, this component offers the durability required for industrial environments.

Installation is straightforward due to the threaded design. Simply remove the back cap and collet body, unscrew the old handle, and thread the new 105Z55 into place. It is constructed from durable, heat-resistant materials capable of withstanding the thermal cycles inherent in TIG welding applications. By maintaining a secure grip and proper insulation, this handle contributes to safer and more precise welding operations.
