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. Ideal for professional or hobbyist welders, the series includes six different styles of TIG torches, 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-foot, one- or two-piece cable lengths.

Weldcraft’s WP-17 and WP-17V models feature the company’s exclusive Diamond Grip torch body, which it designed to provide welders with a secure grip and greater control, no matter the 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 of the series, the WP-17 PSH model, features 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.
