To improve torch control and performance when welding on thin- to medium-gauge materials, Weldcraft (Appleton, WI) 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 ft and 25 ft, one-piece or two-piece cable lengths.

The WP-17 and WP-17V models feature the exclusive Diamond Gripä torch body, which is 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. www.weldcraft.com
