APPLETON, Wis. October 7, 2009-To help provide better joint access, Weldcraft
offers several TIG torches with flex-neck designs. The company's popular WP-9, WP-17 and WP-26 Series of air-cooled TIG torches all feature an optional 'F' or flex-neck model (e.g. WP-17F) for welding applications featuring limited joint access and/or difficult joint angles. Weldcraft also offers valved versions of each of these flex-neck torch models (e.g. WP-17FV) for use with power sources that do not have gas solenoids.

Weldcraft's WP-9F and WP-9FV torches have been designed for welding thin gauge materials-up to ¼ inch-and offer 125 amp DC and 100 amp AC welding capacity at 60 percent duty cycle. The torches feature a lightweight body that adds to operator comfort and control, even when welding on hard-to-reach joints.

Adding to Weldcraft's flex-neck torch model offering are its WP-17F and
WP-17FV TIG torches. Designed to provide high-capacity performance on thin- to medium-gauge materials, these torches provide 150 amp DC and 115 amp AC welding capacity and are ideal for both professional and hobbyist welding operators requiring better access to difficult joints. Weldcraft offers both of these WP-17 Series torches in 12.5- and 25-ft, one- or two-piece cable lengths and also has multiple accessory kits, cable covers and extension kits available.

Rounding out Weldcraft's offering of air-cooled flex-neck torch models are the WP-26F and WP-26FV, both 200-amp DC/150-amp AC torches (based on 60 percent duty cycle rating). These WP-26 torches have been designed with maximum performance and dependability in mind. They are ideal for use on heavy-duty continuous welding applications with limited joint access, and like the WP-9 and WP-17 models, are designed to adjust to any angle the welding operator needs.

The WP-9, WP-17 and WP-26 flex-neck torch models all feature reliable air-cooling capabilities that eliminate the need and expense of water-cooled systems.
