OVERVIEW

Fix Your Rig with a Solid WP-17V Replacement

If your 17 series torch has seen better days, or if you're looking to convert a stick welder into a TIG setup, the 900-017V TIG Torch Body is exactly what you need. This isn't just a spare part; it's the heart of your handheld operation. This model features the classic "V" style configuration, meaning it has a built-in gas valve right on the neck. This gives you full control over your shielding gas flow with a simple twist of your fingers—perfect for those scratch-start setups where your machine doesn't handle the gas for you.

Rated at 150 Amps, this air-cooled workhorse can handle most of your steel and stainless steel jobs without breaking a sweat. The rigid head design gives you a stable platform for walking the cup or holding a steady freehand arc. It's built tough with heavy copper internals to keep the current flowing smoothly and high-heat rubber molding to keep your hand cool and protected from electrical shorts.

Don't worry about hunting for special parts; this body fits all the standard 17-series consumables you likely already have in your toolbox. Just swap out your old, cracked, or leaking body, screw this one onto your power cable, and you're back to laying dimes. It's a simple, affordable fix that keeps your downtime to a minimum.

Why Choose This Torch Body?

  • Manual Gas Control: Essential for machines without gas solenoids.
  • Standard Fit: Works with all your existing 17-series cups and collets.
  • Durable Build: Resists heat and impact in the shop or on the truck.
  • Cost-Effective: Repair your torch instead of buying a whole new assembly.
