The WP-17 TIG torch provides 150-amp DC and 115-amp AC welding capabilities at 60-percent duty cycle.

To improve torch control and performance when welding on thin- to medium-gauge materials, Weldcraft offers its WP-17 Series of air-cooled TIG torches. It includes six torch styles, including models with gas valves and flex necks. The torches provide 150-amp DC and 115-amp AC welding capabilities at 60-percent duty cycle, and are available with 12.5- and 25-ft, one- or two-piece cable lengths.

Weldcraft manufactures GTAW (TIG) welding torches and accessories for professional welding operators and hobbyists.

The WP-17 and WP-17V models feature Weldcraft’s Diamond Grip^™ torch body, which is designed to provide welders with a secure grip and greater control, for any welding position. The WP-17V model also features a fingertip gas valve to ease gas-flow control when used with power sources that do not include a gas solenoid.

Additional models in the series include the WP-17F and WP-17FV TIG torches. Both are flex neck torches designed to provide access to restricted joints and the FV model also includes a gas valve for gas flow adjustment.

The last model in the series, the WP-17 PSH, has a secure, threaded handle: and is ideal for pipe applications using the “cupwalking” technique. It is also available in a valved version, the WP-17V PSH TIG torch.

All WP-17 Series are available with multiple accessory kits, cable covers and extension kits, as well as gas lenses. Each model uses 10N series consumables.
