19885 - ESAB HW-17F Flex Head TIG Torch Body 150A

Reach the Unreachable with the HW-17F Flex Head

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to walk the cup or maintain a steady arc in a spot where your hand just doesn't fit. The ESAB HW-17F TIG Torch Body is the solution to those awkward angles and wrist-straining positions. By upgrading your standard rigid torch to this flexible head model, you gain the ability to bend the torch neck to the exact angle required for the job. Whether you are welding a roll cage in a tight chassis, repairing an exhaust manifold, or working on intricate pipe clusters, the HW-17F adapts to the work, so you don't have to contort your body.

This torch body isn't just about flexibility; it's built to perform. Rated at 150 Amps, it handles the majority of shop tasks with ease. The air-cooled design keeps things simple—no water coolers or extra hoses to drag around—making it perfect for mobile rigs and garage setups. The heavy-duty silicone rubber coating provides a comfortable grip and excellent protection against heat, ensuring the torch stays cool enough to handle even during long runs. It uses the same consumables you already own for your 17, 18, or 26 series torches, so there's no need to buy a whole new kit of cups and collets.

Installation is a breeze. Simply unscrew your old torch body from the power cable handle and screw this one in. It fits most standard air-cooled handles on the market. The copper internals ensure a smooth, stable arc that ESAB is famous for. Don't let a rigid torch limit your welding capability. Add the HW-17F to your arsenal and experience the freedom of a torch that moves the way you need it to.
