WP-27B - Weldcraft W-500B (WP-27B) 500A Water-Cooled TIG Torch Body

Miller Weldcraft WP-27B (W-500B) Water-Cooled Torch Body

Welders Supply is proud to offer the Miller Weldcraft WP-27B, a rigid, water-cooled TIG torch body built for extreme welding environments. Rated for 500 amps, this torch body is part of the renowned 27 Series, often referred to as the W-500B in current nomenclature. It is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between manual heavy-duty welding and mechanized applications. The inclusion of a barrel and bracket assembly allows this torch to be securely mounted for automated seam welding or pipe fabrication, yet it retains the versatility needed for specialized manual tasks.

The WP-27B is designed with the welder's convenience and weld quality in mind. It features a front or back electrode tightening system, which simplifies the process of changing tungsten electrodes. This is a massive time-saver in high-volume production environments where downtime must be minimized. Additionally, the torch body incorporates a built-in gas lens. This integral feature eliminates the need for separate, bulky gas lens collet bodies, streamlining the front end of the torch while delivering the exceptional gas coverage necessary for X-ray quality welds.

Durability is a hallmark of the Weldcraft brand, and the WP-27B is no exception. The water-cooling channels are designed to maximize heat transfer away from the head, allowing for 100% duty cycle operation at high amperages. This ensures that the torch remains cool and consistent, preventing the degradation of internal components that often plagues air-cooled or inferior water-cooled models. The internal tungsten adjustment knob allows for fine-tuning of the arc length and focus, giving the operator ultimate control over the heat input and bead profile.

When you purchase the WP-27B, you are investing in a legacy of quality. This unit is interchangeable with the classic HW-27 torch, making it a seamless replacement for older equipment. The kit comes complete with the torch body, insulating boot, and necessary mounting hardware, ensuring you have the right parts to maintain your high-performance welding operations. Trust Welders Supply for genuine Miller Weldcraft components that keep your shop running smoothly.
