WP-26-25-2 - Weldcraft A-200 (WP-26) 200A Air-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 25ft 2-Piece Rubber

Weldcraft A-200: The Legend of Air-Cooled TIG

For professional welders who need a torch that can take a beating and keep on arcing, the Weldcraft A-200 (WP-26) is the go-to choice. This torch package, model WP-26-25-2, brings you the classic reliability of the WP-26 series with a setup designed for versatility and reach. Rated at 200 Amps DC and 150 Amps AC at 60% duty cycle, this air-cooled beast eliminates the hassle of water coolers, making it the perfect companion for field fabrication, ship repair, and heavy-duty maintenance where portability is key. If you are running off an engine drive or a shop machine without a built-in gas solenoid, this 2-piece cable package is exactly what you need to get welding.

Maximum Comfort and Control

Welding is all about precision, and the A-200 is designed to help you maintain it. The torch features Weldcraft's signature Diamond Grip™ head design, which offers ergonomic contact points for your thumb and fingers. This tactile feedback allows for subtle manipulations of the torch angle, crucial for walking the cup or navigating tight joints. Combined with the ribbed handle, which promotes air flow and keeps the grip cool, you can weld longer with less hand fatigue. The rigid head design is straightforward and tough, minimizing parts that can break when the torch is inevitably dropped or dragged across the shop floor.

The 2-Piece Advantage

The WP-26-25-2 package comes with a 25-foot, 2-piece rubber cable assembly. Why choose 2-piece? It gives you the flexibility to hook up to almost any DC power source. The heavy-duty rubber power cable terminates in a lug that bolts directly to your welder's output stud (or stinger). The separate braided gas hose bypasses the machine entirely, connecting straight to your argon flowmeter. This is the ultimate setup for converting a Stick welder into a TIG rig. The rubber cable material is significantly more durable than vinyl, resisting cuts, burns, and kinks that often plague lesser cables in industrial environments.

Ready for Heavy Work

The A-200 isn't just about power; it's about sustained performance. The heavy copper construction conducts heat away from the front end efficiently, preventing the overheating that plagues smaller air-cooled torches. It accepts standard 3 Series (10N) consumables and tungsten electrodes up to 5/32 inch (4.0 mm), allowing you to tackle thick plate and heavy pipe with ease. Whether you are in the field repairing heavy equipment or in the shop fabricating structural frames, the Weldcraft A-200 gives you the amperage you need with the simplicity of air cooling.
