VS-1 - Weldcraft VS-1 Replacement Gas Valve Kit for 18V/26V Torches

Restore Control to Your TIG Torch

Is your TIG torch leaking gas or is the valve knob becoming difficult to turn? The Weldcraft VS-1 TIG Torch Gas Valve is the genuine replacement part you need to get your equipment back in top shape. Designed specifically for the popular 18V and 26V series torches (including the WP-26V and WP-18V), this valve assembly puts the control of your shielding gas right at your fingertips. Whether you are working in the field with a scratch-start rig or using a machine that lacks a built-in gas solenoid, having a reliable valve on your torch is non-negotiable for achieving high-quality welds.

Over time, the O-rings and threads on torch valves can wear out from constant use, leading to frustrating gas leaks that waste expensive argon and can ruin your welds with porosity. The VS-1 kit comes complete with everything you need to solve this problem: a durable new knob, a fresh valve stem, and a high-quality O-ring. The replacement process is quick and easy, allowing you to swap out the old, faulty valve and resume welding in minutes. The knurled knob is designed for easy operation, even when wearing welding gloves, allowing you to smoothly turn the gas on before you strike your arc and shut it off after your post-flow is complete.

Don't settle for generic parts that might not seat correctly or could strip the threads on your expensive torch body. Trust genuine Weldcraft components to maintain the integrity of your setup. This valve ensures a positive shut-off, saving you money on gas and giving you the confidence that your shielding coverage is there when you need it. It is an essential spare part for any welder running an air-cooled or water-cooled torch with a manual gas valve configuration.
