OVERVIEW

Get the Perfect Angle with the WP20 Flex Head

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a spot where a rigid torch just won't fit. Whether you are welding a roll cage, working inside a manifold, or navigating a complex pipe cluster, the Parker WP20 Flex Head Torch Body (PWWP20FX) is the solution you need. This torch body features a durable flexible neck that you can bend to the exact angle required, saving your wrist from strain and ensuring your tungsten is always at the optimal angle relative to the puddle.

Don't let the compact size fool you; this is a beast of a torch. Because it is water-cooled, it handles up to 250 amps, allowing you to weld thick aluminum or stainless steel without the torch overheating in your hand. The 20-series profile is significantly smaller than the bulky 18-series or 26-series torches, giving you superior dexterity and control for fine detail work. It uses the same standard consumables (cups, collets, and gas lenses) as any standard WP20 or WP9 torch, so you don't need to buy a special kit just to run it.

Installation is straightforward—simply unscrew your old rigid body from the power cable and water lines, and screw this one in. The high-grade silicone insulation protects against high-frequency leakage and withstands the heat of the job. Whether you are a professional pipe welder or a fabricator looking to upgrade your rig, the PWWP20FX gives you the versatility to tackle any joint with confidence and comfort.

Why Choose a Flex Head?

  • Access: Reach behind pipes and into corners that rigid torches can't touch.
  • Comfort: Adjust the head angle to keep your hand in a natural position, reducing fatigue.
  • Visibility: Bend the head to get a better line of sight on the arc and puddle.

FAQ

The PWWP20FX is rated for 250 Amps DC and approximately 175 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle, provided it is properly connected to a water-cooling system.

Yes, it accepts all standard 20-series consumables, including collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and alumina cups. It is also compatible with 9-series and 25-series consumables.

Yes, the WP20 series is designed as a water-cooled system. Operating this torch body without coolant flow will result in rapid overheating and failure.

The flex neck is designed for repeated adjustments, but it is recommended to bend it only as needed and avoid excessive twisting to prolong its lifespan.

The torch body features standard industry threads compatible with standard WP20 power cables, water hoses, and gas hoses.

Absolutely. It is a direct replacement for a rigid WP20 body, offering the added benefit of an adjustable neck angle.

No, this SKU is for the torch body only. You will need to use your existing handle or purchase one separately if building a complete torch.

The torch body itself is universal. Compatibility with the machine depends on your cable adapter (DINSE or stud) and water cooler setup, not the torch body itself.
