WP-18P - Weldcraft W-500Paut / WP-18P Water-Cooled Machine Torch Body

Reliable Replacement for Machine TIG Welding

When your automated welding setup needs a refresh, the Weldcraft WP-18P (W-500Paut) TIG Torch Body is the genuine replacement part you can trust. Known for its durability and high performance, this water-cooled torch body is built to keep your production line moving. If you are running a W-350 or W-500 automation system, this pencil-style torch provides the straight, 180-degree access needed for machine mounting, allowing for perfect alignment with the weld seam every time.

Don't let the slim profile fool you; this torch is a powerhouse. Rated for substantial amperage (up to 500A DC in some configurations, and a solid 350A AC), it handles thick materials and long weld runs without breaking a sweat. The efficient water-cooling path extracts heat rapidly, keeping the torch body cool and protecting your consumables from premature failure. This is the ideal upgrade or replacement for welders dealing with pipe fabrication, tube mills, or repetitive parts manufacturing where a handheld torch simply isn't precise enough.

Maintenance is a breeze thanks to its universal compatibility. The WP-18P accepts the standard 10N and 11N series consumables you likely already have in your toolbox for your WP-18 or WP-26 hand torches. This means you don't need to buy specialized cups or collets just for your machine torch. Simply swap out the body, hook up your power and water lines, and you are back to welding with the quality and consistency Weldcraft is famous for.
