WP-20-12 - Miller Weldcraft W-250 Water-Cooled TIG Torch Package, 12.5 ft, Vinyl - WP-20-12

Precision Performance: Weldcraft W-250 Water-Cooled Torch

For professional TIG welders, the Weldcraft W-250 (formerly the WP-20) represents the pinnacle of compact, water-cooled performance. This torch is specifically engineered to solve the common trade-off between amperage capacity and physical size. With a rated output of 250 Amps DC and 180 Amps AC, the W-250 delivers the power necessary for welding thicker gauge aluminum and steel alloys, yet its body remains small enough to maneuver inside complex pipe clusters, manifolds, and roll cages.

The core advantage of the W-250 lies in its Around-the-Head Cooling design. Unlike standard torches that may only cool the body, the W-250 circulates water directly around the head and collet body area. This prevents the "hot hand" fatigue common in high-amperage applications and significantly extends the lifespan of your collets and collet bodies. The efficient heat dissipation allows for a 100% duty cycle at rated amperages, ensuring that the torch is never the bottleneck in your production line.

The WP-20-12 package features a 12.5-foot, 3-piece vinyl cable assembly. Vinyl offers a distinct advantage in specific environments where chemical resistance and ease of cleaning are priorities. The lightweight nature of the assembly, combined with the compact torch body, offers superior ergonomics, reducing wrist strain during all-day welding shifts. The torch accepts the widely available 13N (2-Series) consumables, allowing you to utilize gas lenses for improved shielding coverage on stainless steel and titanium.
