MW26V - WP-26 TIG Torch Head with Gas Valve

Control Your Weld with the 26 Series Valve Torch Body

For welders who need flexibility in the field or are running off a machine without built-in gas control, the 26 Series TIG Torch Body with Valve is an essential piece of equipment. Known in the industry as the "26V" style, this torch head puts the control of your shielding gas right at your fingertips. Whether you are scratch-start TIG welding on a pipeline or using a lift-arc setup in the shop, the manual valve allows you to pre-flow and post-flow your gas with precision, ensuring your tungsten and weld puddle remain protected from atmospheric contamination without relying on the machine's timer.

Built to handle the heat, this air-cooled torch body is the heavy-duty workhorse of the TIG world. It is rated for 200 amps, giving you the power to weld thicker aluminum and steel sections without overheating the torch. The rigid neck design is tough and durable, perfect for environments where tools get knocked around. The high-quality rubber molding offers a comfortable grip and excellent protection against the heat of the arc, allowing you to focus on laying down perfect beads rather than worrying about your equipment getting too hot to handle.

Maintenance is a breeze with this standard replacement part. If you've stripped the threads on your old torch or the valve has started to leak, swapping in this new body is a quick fix that gets you back under the hood in minutes. It fits standard knurled or ribbed handles and connects easily to your existing power cable. Plus, it uses the same collets, cups, and back caps you already have in your toolbox for any standard #26 torch. Don't let a lack of a gas solenoid limit your welding capabilities; equip your rig with a valved torch body and take full command of your welding process.
