When you are out in the field or working on heavy structural fabrication, you need a torch that can take the heat. The PWP26 is a classic, rigid-neck WP-26 style torch body designed for welders who push their air-cooled rigs to the limit. Rated for a solid 200 amps, this body is the big brother to the 17-series, giving you the extra amperage capacity needed for thicker aluminum and steel plate without melting down your hand or the torch head.
The rigid neck design is built for durability. While flex heads are great for tight corners, a rigid body like this is virtually indestructible and offers a consistent torch angle that many pipe and structural welders prefer for walking the cup. The copper construction inside transfers current efficiently to the tungsten, ensuring a stable arc, while the heavy-duty silicone rubber coating protects you from shocks and withstands the radiant heat from heavy weld puddles. It’s designed to fit comfortably in standard knurled or ribbed handles, giving you the grip and control you need for precision work.
Swapping out a damaged torch body shouldn't be a headache. The PWP26 features standard threading for the power cable (5/8-18 RH) and accepts all your standard 26-series consumables—including the large gas lenses (45V series) and standard collet bodies (10N series). Whether you are running a scratch-start rig off a generator or a high-frequency machine in the shop, this torch body delivers the reliability you expect. It’s the perfect backup to keep in your truck or the primary upgrade for a worn-out stock torch.
