OVERVIEW

Master Tight Angles with the 17FV Flex Head Torch

Take control of your TIG welding projects with the 17 Series Flex Head TIG Torch Body with Valve (900-17FV). Designed for the welder who demands adaptability, this 150-amp air-cooled torch body is the perfect upgrade for your rig, especially if you are working on intricate projects that require getting into hard-to-reach places.

Why Choose a Flex Head?

Standard rigid torches limit your hand position, forcing you into uncomfortable angles that can compromise weld quality. The Flex Head design of this torch body allows you to bend the neck to the exact angle needed for the job. Whether you are welding a header flange, repairing a tube chassis, or working inside a box section, the ability to adjust your torch angle ensures you maintain the proper tungsten stick-out and arc length for a flawless bead.

Perfect for Scratch Start & Lift Arc

If you are running a TIG setup off a DC stick welder or an engine drive, you know the struggle of managing gas flow. This torch body features a built-in gas valve, giving you manual control over your argon flow right at your fingertips. Simply twist the valve to start the gas, strike your arc, and twist it off when you are done. It eliminates the need for complex external valve systems or wasting gas.

Rugged and Reliable

Rated for 150 amps, this air-cooled body handles the heat of daily fabrication. It fits all standard 17-series consumables (cups, collets, and back caps), so you don't need to buy a new inventory of parts. The body connects easily to standard one-piece power cables, making installation a breeze. Upgrade your torch today and experience the freedom of a flex head combined with the convenience of a gas valve.

FAQ

'FV' stands for Flex and Valve. This indicates the torch body has both a flexible neck that can be bent to different angles and a manual gas control valve built into the body.

The 900-17FV is an air-cooled torch body rated for 150 amps. It does not require a water cooler or coolant lines.

This body is compatible with standard 17-series, 18-series, and 26-series TIG consumables. This includes 10N series collets and collet bodies.

Yes, the built-in gas valve makes this torch body specifically designed for machines without internal gas solenoids, such as stick welders used for TIG welding.

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

No, this is the torch body only. You will need to attach it to an existing handle and power cable, or purchase those separately.

The head can be adjusted up to approximately 40 degrees from the center line. Avoid bending it while it is extremely hot or bending it back and forth rapidly to prolong its life.

The power cable connection is a standard 3/8-24 Right Hand thread, which is standard for 17-series air-cooled torches.
