OVERVIEW

Connect Your TIG Torch with Confidence

Getting your TIG torch set up correctly is the first step to perfect welds, and the PowerWeld PWTA917 TIG Adapter makes that connection seamless. If you are using an air-cooled WP-9 or WP-17 series torch with a one-piece power cable, this is the adapter you need to hook it up to your machine. It takes the single cable from your torch—which carries both the electricity and the gas—and splits them up so you can bolt the power line to your welder and hook the gas hose to your tank or machine outlet.

Built from heavy-duty solid brass, this power block is designed to handle the heat. It is rated for up to 150 Amps, giving you plenty of power for most standard TIG applications. The solid construction means you won't have to worry about the threads stripping or the block cracking under stress. It provides a solid, conductive link that ensures your arc starts smooth and stays stable.

Installation is straightforward: simply screw your torch's power cable into the adapter, bolt the adapter's lug to your welder's terminal stud, and clamp the attached gas hose to your regulator or gas solenoid. Whether you are upgrading an older machine or replacing a worn-out connector, the PWTA917 gives you a professional, leak-free connection that lets you focus on laying down the perfect bead.

  • Universal Fit: Works with standard 9 and 17 series air-cooled torches.
  • Durable: Solid brass body resists corrosion and wear.
  • Easy Setup: Simple threaded connection gets you welding faster.

FAQ

The PWTA917 is designed for use with 9 Series (WP-9) and 17 Series (WP-17) air-cooled TIG torches.

This adapter is rated for a maximum output of 150 Amps.

No, the PWTA917 is specifically for air-cooled torches. Water-cooled torches require a different type of adapter with water pass-throughs.

It accepts a standard 1-piece power cable with a 3/8-24 RH male thread.

Yes, the adapter includes a gas inlet hose attached to the brass block for connecting to your shielding gas supply.

The block is machined from solid brass for excellent electrical conductivity and durability.

The adapter has a flat lug with a hole that bolts directly onto the threaded output stud (terminal) of your welding machine.

No, 26 series torches are larger and typically use a different adapter (often the 45V62) with larger threads (7/8-14).
