1726-CAF - Weldcraft 1726 Replacement Modular TIG Torch Head, 70 Degree Rigid

Customize Your TIG Experience with the Weldcraft 1726 Head

Take control of your welding comfort and accessibility with the Weldcraft 1726 Modular Torch Head. If you run a Weldcraft Modular Series torch, you know the value of being able to adapt your tool to the job at hand. This 1726 model features a classic 70-degree angle, providing that familiar, comfortable feel that most TIG welders prefer for bench work and open-root pipe welding. It serves as a direct replacement or an alternative configuration for your A-150 (WP-17) or A-200 (WP-26) modular handle, giving you the freedom to build the torch you need for the specific weld you are facing.

Why get stuck with a fixed-head torch when you can go modular? The 1726 head screws easily onto your existing modular body, creating a solid, conductive connection that transmits power smoothly to the tungsten. The rigid neck design offers stability and precision, allowing you to walk the cup or freehand with confidence. The head is wrapped in Weldcraft's signature high-temp green silicone rubber. This isn't just for looks; it offers excellent resistance to cracking and heat damage, ensuring your torch holds up against the hot environment of the weld zone. It also provides essential electrical insulation, protecting you from high-frequency starts and stray current.

For welders who work on diverse projects—from aluminum boat repairs to stainless steel kitchen fabrication—having a modular torch system is a game-changer. Instead of dragging multiple torch cables around the shop, you can keep one modular cable and handle, and simply swap out the head to suit the amperage or angle required. The 1726 is the workhorse of this system, offering the durability of a rigid head with the convenience of a screw-on part. It uses standard 17/18/26 series consumables, so you don't need to buy special cups or collets to use it.

Don't let a damaged torch head stop your production. Because the head is separate from the cable and handle, replacing a stripped thread or a burnt insulator is cheap and easy. Keep a spare Weldcraft 1726 in your toolbox so you are always ready to weld. Whether you are pushing 150 amps on thin gauge steel or maxing out a 200-amp air-cooled setup on thicker aluminum, this head delivers the gas coverage and arc control you rely on to lay down perfect beads.
