OVERVIEW

Legendary WP-20 Performance

For professional TIG welders, the "WP-20" number is synonymous with reliability. Now branded as the Weldcraft W-250, this torch package delivers the same trusted performance you've relied on for years. Whether you are welding aluminum in a boatyard, fabricating stainless steel piping, or working on aerospace components, the W-250 provides the cool operation needed for high-amp passes without the bulk of larger torches. The water-cooled design keeps the handle temperature low, even when you are pushing the torch to its 250-amp DC limit, preventing hand fatigue and "hot hand" issues that plague air-cooled setups.

Built for the Shop Environment

This kit (WP-20-12-R) comes ready to hook up with high-quality 12.5-foot braided rubber leads. If you've ever fought with stiff vinyl cables on a cold morning, you'll appreciate the flexibility of Weldcraft's braided rubber. They lay flat, coil easily, and resist melting if they accidentally brush against a hot weldment. The 3-piece cable assembly is color-coded for foolproof setup: red for power/water return, blue for water supply, and black for gas. The rigid head design is tough and simple, eliminating moving parts that can wear out over time, making it a solid choice for shop environments where durability is key.

Complete Torch Package

The Weldcraft W-250 package isn't just a bare torch; it's a setup designed to get you welding faster. Inside the box, you'll find the W-250 torch body fitted with a handle that offers a secure, non-slip grip. The package includes the essential power cable, water hose, and gas hose, all pre-fitted for standard connections. A long back cap is included to accommodate standard 7-inch tungsten electrodes. While consumables like collets and cups are sold separately to allow for custom setup based on your wire diameter, this torch accepts the widely available 13N series parts, ensuring you can find replacements at any local welding supply store.
