When you are out in the field or working with a machine that doesn't handle gas automatically, having a reliable torch body with a built-in valve is essential. The ESAB HW-17RV TIG Torch Body is the workhorse you need for those scratch-start or lift-arc applications. Rated at 150 amps, this air-cooled body handles the heat of daily fabrication while remaining lightweight enough to minimize hand fatigue during long welds.
Built-in Gas Valve Convenience
The standout feature of the HW-17RV is the manual gas control valve located on the torch body. This gives you complete control over your shielding gas pre-flow and post-flow, which is vital for maintaining weld quality and protecting your tungsten when using a power source without a solenoid. A simple turn opens the flow before you strike your arc, and closes it when you're done.
Durable and Standardized
ESAB's Heliwelder series is known for durability. The rigid 60-degree head offers a solid, stable platform for walking the cup or freehand welding. Because it fits standard 17-series consumables, you won't have to hunt for special collets or cups—everything you likely already have in your toolbox will fit. Whether you are repairing a damaged torch or building a custom rig for a specific job, this body provides the quality and performance professional welders expect from ESAB.
