WP17 Rigid TIG Torch Body

The WP17 Rigid TIG Torch Body (also known as the T17) is the foundational tool for TIG welders worldwide. Designed for versatility and ease of use, this air cooled torch body is a direct replacement for Weldcraft® WP-17 series torches. It is the ideal choice for general fabrication, automotive repair, and maintenance work where a water cooling system is not required. Engineered for durability, the WP17 features a high conductivity copper alloy head encased in high temperature silicone rubber. This "Rigid" version offers a fixed head angle (70°), providing maximum stability and precise electrode alignment for consistent arc control. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, the WP17 provides a reliable, lightweight platform that is compatible with the massive ecosystem of standard "17/18/26" series consumables. Key Features 150A Air Cooled Capacity: Optimised for light to medium duty cycles without the need for bulky water hoses. Weldcraft® Compatibility: 100% compatible with T17/WP17 series handles, power cables, and all standard 17/18/26 consumables. Rugged Rigid Head: Fixed 70° angle ensures a stable, "no flex" platform for high precision manual welding. Premium Silicone Insulation: Resists high frequency (HF) leakage and remains flexible even in cold workshop environments. Universal Consumable Fit: Compatible with standard collets, gas lenses, and ceramic nozzles, allowing for easy customisation. Heavy Duty Internal Threads: Precision machined to prevent galling and ensure a secure gas tight seal. Download Product Specification Manual [T17]. Download Product Specification Manual [WP17].
