OVERVIEW

Get Your 26 Torch Back in Action

Burned out your torch head? Don't buy a whole new rig just yet. The VTR-26 is a direct replacement body for your trusty 26-series air-cooled TIG torch. We know that out in the shop, equipment takes a beating. Threads strip, insulation cracks, and heads get fried. This replacement body is built to swap out easily so you can get back under the hood without breaking the bank.

Rated for a solid 200 Amps, this head handles the heat for those heavier gauge aluminum and steel jobs. It's an air-cooled unit, meaning it relies on the shielding gas and ambient air to keep cool, so we've ensured it's built with heavy-duty copper components to wick that heat away efficiently. The outer rubber molding is tough enough to handle drops, sparks, and the general grime of the welding table.

It fits all your standard 26-series parts—cups, collets, and back caps—so you don't need to restock your consumables. Just unscrew your old head from the power cable handle, thread this one on, and you're ready to strike an arc. It's a rigid head, giving you that solid, familiar feel for walking the cup or freehanding precise beads. Keep a spare in your toolbox; it's the cheapest insurance against downtime you can buy.

Why Choose This Replacement?

  • Direct Fit: Works with most standard 26-series handles and cables.
  • High Amp Rating: Handles up to 200A, perfect for general fab work.
  • Tough Build: High-temp rubber resists melting and arcing.
  • Save Money: Fix your torch instead of replacing the whole assembly.

FAQ

The VTR-26 is rated for 200 Amps DC and approximately 150 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle.

This is an air-cooled (gas-cooled) torch body designed for the 26 series platform.

Yes, if your existing torch is a standard 26-series air-cooled model (often labeled WP-26), this body is generally compatible with the handle and cable connections.

No, this is a standard rigid body without a gas valve. If you need a valve for scratch-start TIG, look for a 26V style body.

It uses standard 10N series consumables (collets, collet bodies, ceramic cups) and 57Y series back caps, common to all 17, 18, and 26 series torches.

No, this is a rigid head. Flexible heads are typically designated with an 'F' in the part number (e.g., WP-26F).

Simply disassemble your torch handle, disconnect the power cable from the old body, and thread the new body onto the power cable/gas line connection.

The insulation is made from high-temperature silicone rubber, providing excellent dielectric strength and heat resistance.
