OVERVIEW

The Classic "17" Torch You Know and Trust

If you've spent any time TIG welding, you've probably held a WP-17. It's the workhorse of the air-cooled world, and the Miller Weldcraft WP-17-12-R (22K39) is the real deal. This isn't a cheap knock-off; it's built with the quality copper and high-temp silicone rubber that professional welders expect from the Weldcraft brand. Rated at 150 amps, this torch is perfect for your garage, your fab shop, or the back of your rig. It handles everything from thin gauge stainless exhaust work to 1/8" aluminum brackets without breaking a sweat.

One of the biggest advantages of this specific setup is the 12-foot rubber power cable. Unlike stiff vinyl cables that fight you every time you try to manipulate the torch, this rubber cable stays flexible. It lays flat, coils easily, and doesn't crack when you accidentally step on it or drag it across a hot floor. The one-piece design means less bulk dragging behind your hand, giving you better finesse on those tricky out-of-position welds. It's air-cooled, so you don't have to worry about hauling a water cooler or dealing with leaky hoses—just hook it up to your gas and power, and you're burning metal.

Comfort is key when you're under the hood for hours. The ribbed handle gives you a solid, non-slip grip even with heavy gloves, and the torch geometry is designed to balance well in your hand. Since it uses the universal 10N series consumables, you can pick up cups, collets, and back caps at literally any welding supply shop in the country. Whether you are upgrading a cheap torch that came with your machine or replacing an old faithful that finally gave up the ghost, the WP-17-12-R is the reliable choice that won't let you down.

Why Welders Choose the WP-17-12-R:

  • Proven Durability: Built to withstand the daily grind of a working shop.
  • Universal Parts: Uses standard consumables you probably already have in your toolbox.
  • Flexible Power Cable: High-quality rubber cable reduces wrist strain.
  • Plug and Play: Simple setup for almost any TIG machine (with the right adapter).

It is rated for 150 Amps DC and 115 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle.

Yes, but you will need the correct power cable adapter (usually part number 45V11) to connect the 1-piece power cable to the machine's stud.

The 'R' in WP-17-12-R typically denotes a Rubber power cable, which offers better flexibility and heat resistance compared to standard vinyl cables.
