OVERVIEW

Genuine Weldcraft A-150V (WP-17V) TIG Torch Body

Take control of your TIG welding setup with the Genuine Weldcraft A-150V Torch Body, the trusted industry standard for 150-amp air-cooled applications. If you are running a TIG rig off a generator, a scratch-start setup, or a stick welder that doesn't have a built-in gas solenoid, this "V" model is the essential tool you need. The integrated fingertip gas valve puts total control of your shielding gas right in your hand, allowing you to manually open the flow before you strike your arc and close it after your post-flow, without relying on the machine's automation.

Formerly known as the legendary WP-17V, the A-150 Series represents the modern evolution of Weldcraft's most popular air-cooled torch. Despite the updated name, it retains the rugged reliability that welders have relied on for decades. The rigid head design is built to withstand the harsh conditions of a busy shop or field site, while the robust copper construction ensures efficient heat dissipation to keep the torch cool during extended runs. Rated for up to 150 amps, it is perfectly suited for welding mild steel and stainless steel in garage, hobby, or light industrial settings.

Don't compromise your weld quality with generic knock-offs. This genuine Weldcraft part ensures a perfect fit with your existing consumables—standard collets, collet bodies, and gas lenses from the 17, 18, and 26 series all fit seamlessly. Whether you are replacing a damaged torch body or building a custom air-cooled TIG lead for portable work, the A-150V offers the durability, comfort, and performance that professional welders demand.
