OVERVIEW

Weldcraft A-150 Air-Cooled TIG Torch Kit - 12.5ft Rubber Cable

Discover the evolution of the classic WP-17 with the Weldcraft A-150 TIG Torch Package. Renamed but retaining the rugged reliability that made the WP-17 a staple in the industry, the A-150 series is designed to offer maximum versatility for welders of all skill levels. This specific package (WP1712RDI25) is an air-cooled solution rated for 150 amps DC and 115 amps AC, making it an ideal tool for welding thin to medium-gauge materials without the expense and maintenance of a water cooler.

Built for Comfort and Control

The A-150 distinguishes itself with features focused squarely on the operator. The torch body utilizes the Diamond Grip™ head design, which offers ergonomic indentations for your fingers, promoting a natural grip that reduces hand strain over long shifts. Additionally, the handle is ribbed to improve airflow around the grip area, ensuring the torch stays cooler in your hand compared to smooth-handle alternatives. This attention to comfort translates directly to better torch control and higher-quality welds, especially in intricate applications like metal art or precision fabrication.

Ready-to-Weld Package

Welders Supply provides this torch as a complete package to get you up and running fast. The kit includes a heavy-duty 12.5-foot rubber power cable, which offers superior resistance to heat and abrasion compared to vinyl alternatives. The connection is a 25mm male Dinse with flow-through gas, specifically designed to plug directly into machines such as the Miller Multimatic 215 and 220 AC/DC. No adapters are required for these compatible power sources.

Standardized Consumables

Maintenance is simplified thanks to the A-150's compatibility with existing Weldcraft 10N series parts. If you have a stock of WP-17 consumables, they will fit this torch perfectly. This interchangeability reduces inventory costs and ensures that replacement collets, bodies, and nozzles are always easy to find. From the hobbyist garage to the professional pipe shop, the Weldcraft A-150 delivers consistent arc stability and proven durability.

FAQ

This torch package is directly compatible with Miller machines equipped with a 25mm gas-through Dinse receptacle, including the Miller Multimatic 215, Multimatic 220 AC/DC, and the Maxstar 150 and 160 series.

Yes, the Weldcraft A-150 series is the new name for the legacy WP-17 series. They use the same consumables and have the same amperage ratings, but the A-150 features improved ergonomics like the Diamond Grip head.

The A-150 is rated for 150 Amps DC and 115 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle.

No, this specific model (WP1712RDI25) has a rigid head without a gas control valve. It relies on the welding machine's gas solenoid for flow control.

It includes a 12.5-foot, 1-piece rubber power cable. Rubber cables are generally more flexible and resistant to heat and abrasion than vinyl cables.

The A-150 uses standard Weldcraft 10N series (3 Series) consumables, which are widely available and interchangeable with WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches.

The torch is equipped with a 25mm male Dinse connector that allows shielding gas to flow through the center of the connector (Gas-Through or Flow-Thru).

Yes, the package includes one 3/32" diameter 2% Ceriated tungsten electrode to get you started.
