Weldcraft TIG Torch Series Designed for Limited-Access Welding

APPLETON, Wis. April 3, 2007—Weldcraft designed its WP-24 TIG torch series especially for intricate welding applications that require improved joint access. The series includes three air-cooled torches:  the WP-24 (standard), WP-24F (Flexible neck), and WP-24FV (Flexible neck, Valved combination), each of which is rated at 80 amps at 60 percent duty cycle. A water-cooled version, the WP-24W is also available and is rated at 180 amps at 100 percent duty cycle.

The WP-24 series include a well-balanced, featherweight torch body with an insulating gasket that prevents shielding gas leakage.  Together, these components increase operator comfort and control, and help minimize weld discontinuities.

Each torch is 7 _-inches long and features a _-inch diameter handle, making it comfortable and easy to maneuver. Available 60° or 90° head angles increase access into tight areas.

The Right Torch for Every Job
The WP-24F torch includes a flexible neck that bends in any direction to further improve operator comfort and to maneuver into challenging welding angles or tight areas. For welding operators who desire both increased flexibility and gas flow control, Weldcraft’s WP-24FV is available.

For higher amperage applications that require access into confined areas, the WP-24W offers an efficient cooling system without adding to the torch’s size.  In fact, it’s one of the smallest water-cooled TIG torches on the market.

The air-cooled WP-24 torches are available with Weldcraft’s Mono-Flex™ cable, and the WP-24W torch features durable Tri-Flex™ hoses and cables.  All torch packages are available in 12 _- or 25-foot lengths.
