OVERVIEW

Master Tight Spaces with the Weldcraft A-80 Flex

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a space so tight you can barely fit your hand, let alone a standard torch. The Weldcraft A-80 Flex (formerly the WP-24FV) is your solution to those impossible angles. Designed specifically for intricate, low-amperage work, this torch body combines a pencil-style grip with a flexible neck that you can bend to suit the exact geometry of your workpiece. Whether you are welding inside a collector, repairing a roll cage, or working on detailed sculpture, the A-80 Flex lets you position the tungsten exactly where it needs to be.

Ultimate Control with Built-in Valve
One of the standout features of this model is the built-in gas valve. If you are running a rig off a generator or a stick welder that doesn't have a gas solenoid, this torch is a lifesaver. You control the shielding gas flow directly at the torch, turning it on before you strike your arc and shutting it off after your post-flow. This gives you the freedom to TIG weld with almost any DC power source without needing a complex external gas management setup.

Lightweight and Maneuverable
Rated for 80 amps, this air-cooled torch is incredibly light. The reduction in weight and the compact size of the consumables mean less hand fatigue during long sessions of precision welding. The silicone rubber body offers a secure, non-slip grip and stands up to the heat and abuse of the shop environment. Upgrade your arsenal with the A-80 Flex and stop fighting your equipment when the job gets tight.

FAQ

The Weldcraft A-80 (WP-24FV) is rated for 80 Amps DC and 50 Amps AC at a 60% duty cycle.

No, this SKU is for the torch body only. The handle, power cable, and front-end consumables are sold separately.

It uses the 24-series consumables (collets, collet bodies, and alumina cups), which are smaller than the standard 9 or 17 series parts.

Yes, the 'V' in WP-24FV stands for Valve. It has a manual gas control valve on the body, making it perfect for scratch-start TIG setups.

The WP-24FV is a single integrated torch body unit. If the flexible neck is damaged beyond use, the entire torch body typically needs to be replaced.

The neck is designed to be bent to facilitate access, but it should not be bent beyond 45 degrees repeatedly or sharply, as this can damage the internal copper conductor over time.

There is no functional difference. Weldcraft rebranded the WP-24 series to the A-80 series. The 'A' stands for Air-cooled and '80' for the amperage rating.

No, the A-80 (WP-24FV) is an air-cooled torch body.
