Weldcraft WP-17 Series Offers Superior Performance on Thin to Medium Gauge Materials


o Five torch styles, including valved and flex neck models

o 150-amp DC welding capability

o Optional accessory kits, cable cover and extension kits

APPLETON, Wis. July 7, 2009. For both hobbyist and professional welders, Weldcraft's WP-17 Series air-cooled TIG torches offers superior torch control and excellent welding performance on thin- to medium-gauge materials. The WP-17 Series includes five different styles of TIG torches, including standard, valved and flex neck models.

The WP-17 and WP-17V models feature Weldcraft's patented Diamond Grip torch body to provide operators with a secure grip, no matter the welding position. This ergonomic torch body also helps the operator maintain the correct positioning between the torch and weld joint and reduces downtime associated with operator fatigue. The WP-17V model features a fingertip gas valve to improve shielding gas control when used with power sources that do not have a gas solenoid. Both models use 10N series consumables, and they offer 150 amp DC and 115 amp AC welding capabilities at 60% duty cycle.

Other WP-17 series models include the WP-17F, a flex neck version designed to allow access to hard-to-reach areas, and the WP-17FV model. The WP-17FV torch also features an adjustable flex neck, as well as a gas valve to help improve shielding gas control.

The last of the WP-17 Series, the WP-17 PSH model, features a threaded handle that makes it ideal for pipe welding applications using the cup walking technique.

Weldcraft offers the WP-17 Series torches in 12.5- and 25-ft, one- or two-piece cable lengths with multiple accessory kits, cable covers and extension kits.
