RPWP17VRB12 - Parker WP-17V Air-Cooled TIG Torch, 150A, Rigid Head with Valve, 12.5ft Cable

Reliable TIG Welding for Shop and Field

When you need a TIG torch that can handle the basics without fuss, the Parker WP-17V is a solid choice for your arsenal. Whether you are a hobbyist working in your garage or a professional welder making repairs in the field, this air-cooled torch delivers the performance you need. The 'V' in the name stands for Valve, and it's a game-changer if you're running a machine that wasn't originally built for TIG, like a standard stick welder. With the manual valve right at your fingertips, you have full control over your shielding gas, allowing you to start and stop flow exactly when you need to, saving gas and ensuring a clean weld start.

The torch comes with a 12.5-foot cable, giving you plenty of room to move around your workpiece without feeling tethered to the machine. Its rigid head design is built tough; it won't flop around when you're trying to lay down a precise bead or walk the cup on a pipe joint. Rated at 150 amps, it handles a wide range of steel and stainless steel thicknesses, making it a versatile tool for everything from automotive exhaust work to general metal repairs.

Comfort is key during long welding sessions, and this torch is designed with a lightweight handle that fits naturally in the hand. Because it's air-cooled, you don't have to worry about dragging around heavy water hoses or maintaining a cooler. Just hook it up, turn on your gas, and you're ready to burn. Plus, since it uses standard consumables you can find at any welding supply shop, keeping this torch running is easy and affordable.
